#7620: Why modules with products have tables located inside functions....

Component:  vtigercrm   |     Version:  6.0 ea   
 Severity:  Medium      |    Keywords:

 In VTiger are few functions [ getInventoryTaxType,
 getInventoryCurrencyInfo in include/utils/InventoryUtils.php ] dedicated
 for modules with products like:[[BR]]
 Quotes, Purchase Order, Sales Order, Invoice[[BR]]
 which have "configuration tables" declared inside the function`s code. And
 only these four modules are considered there.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 It is big problem if a developer wants to create own module with products,
 because this solution enforce him to either overwrite core crm files or to
 try to bypass it by copying and modifying many other files ( because these
 functions are used in almost each kind of view displaying records :
 detail, list, related etc )



 Is it possible to:
 create special database table with listed modules with products
 or
 add new column in vtiger_tab to decide if module has or not products ?
 It would be much easier to configure this type of module inside the
 database, instead of adding it to functions manually like it is happening
 now.

 After this you can slightly modify function just to check if module have
 products (using database) and after this just take variables from core
 file of that module ( because modules have variables: "table_name" and
 "table_index" )
