Hey Adam,

That sounds very encouraging!

I had a new enquiry yesterday with another use case for this feature...

The customer wanted to add a "cost price" and "margin" (auto calculated) 
fields to the product module and have these displayed when they are 
creating quotes (So they can see line-by-line, and as a total, the 
margin on a deal). Obviously these extra fields are not to be printed on 
the quote pdf ;-)

In this case the extra fields do [should?] not need to be edited when 
building a Quote/Sales Order/Invoice. (A good use of the new "Read Only" 
field feature in Profiles perhaps?)

I thought this was a good example of a use case and is also something we 
have done with OpenERP implementations.

Cheers

Al
