There is of course another route for getting the functionality, and that is discuss (and action) the topic as a community. I assume that you are right, "It can not be done just like that by email" but what I can contribute, I will (big claim from someone not very familiar with the tryton project or python). The foundations appear to be solid for tryton and python is apparently a good language to learn. What's the best way of getting this topic discussed, and moving forward? Are others in need of such functionality?
I buy materials from suppliers and they advise me of the recommend trade price (maybe called RRP in other industries) and also my buy price (Cost). I would like to make a purchase against the supplier and also allocate the material to a project for invoicing later. When the material is posted to the project, it has a cost, a trade price and depending on the customer offer the sale price will be cost plus a margin OR will be trade price plus or minus a margin. eg widgets cost $10, trade price (RRP) is $20. So could be sold for cost + %50 = $15 Or could be sold for trade price +10% = $22 Or could be sold for trade price -10% = $18 Are there other pricing schemes that would be applicable for project / job costing?
