I knew that.. Clearly account_asset was designed without the idea that asset could be > used for other usage.

If a user just wants to manage the accounting part he currently has to create a product + the account.asset. With your proposal he also has to create the 'asset', but I don't see the benefit of creating this if you just need accounting. Why not just let "account.asset" have a m2o to "asset" which is optional (though constrained to have the same product, of course)? -- Albert Cervera i Areny Tel. 93 553 18 03 @albertnan www.NaN-tic.com
