If you don't go with one of the above way. You choose the hardest way, for someone new, which is: confince someone with the capacity to make it for you for free. But for that you have to define the precise requirements about the new feature, and not talk about your specific configuration. You can do it on this ML if it is generic or you have to do it in private. And if you expect it to be included in Tryton, it has to be generic, fulfill the needs of the largest, integrate with the other workflows, follow the same design patterns etc. I personnaly find it is a very complex topic to be solved in a generic way. FYI, we (B2CK) have already design similar requirements but it was always in a custom way. For example, the project invoice module (for time only) was a very similar difficulty and it took at least 3 years to get a generic, modular solution. We have done at least 3 times custom modules for it before having the current one. -- Cédric Krier B2CK SPRL Rue de Rotterdam, 4 4000 Liège Belgium Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Email/Jabber: [email protected] Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
