Yes and they are different "things". You can not sale an asset like that and you can not "use" a goods. > In this case, currently we'd need to create two separate products for what > it actually is the same product. No it is not the same product. "Product" in Tryton will depend of its usage. For example, you can have different "service" products but that are at the end the same "thing" for example the employee work. > I think that just like we moved "Consumable" out of the "Type" field into a > boolean we should do the same with Assets.

Patent is not really a problem. Of course you could make a stock move with patent but it is not a big deal. But the main reason we must have 2 different products for asset and product is because they must be distinguished at the stock level and they have a different behaviour on an invoice. Maybe we should put the type in the rec_name of product to avoid having twice the same name for both types. -- Cédric Krier - B2CK SPRL Email/Jabber: [email protected] Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
