So I'm thinking returns and empties should be handled before the sale is made. So that tryton user comes to sale with the other documents/models already completed(ie. return processed, empties recorded). So that they may be somehow linked and used to reduce total price of sale. Accounting and inventory will be handled in the return interface. So that means to scrap the idea of treating negatives as returns in the sale.
I know the idea is general I just can't see a way to make the extension of the sale interface itself extensible if there are many corner cases of returns and empties there that need user input. I think Cédric's returnable product modules could provide some starting point. What do others think?
