I have a requirement to model special orders.  These are items that an order
is taken for, a supplier is found, and the item ordered from that supplier.
It is then received and shipped to the customer.

The person who does this tells me that today, he spends 2 to 4 hours a day
doing this because of the requirement to create a supplier, product, cost,
price, etc.  In the old system they used, the pressed a single key for
"Non-Stock Item", entered the description, cost, sale price and were done.
10 seconds instead of 10 minutes.

Because they will never sell the item again, there is no desire to track it
except to make sure that what they were quoted by the vendor is what the
purchase invoice comes in at.

My initial thought was to create a "specialorder" product and then create
multiple ProductFeatures when the item is sold and delete them when the
invoice is received and paid.

This all sound pretty hokey and I am hoping someone has already done this
and can offer some direction.

Thanks
