Adding assets management to Tryton

[Cédric Krier]

Hi,

We are discussing here about adding assets management to Tryton.

The idea is that assets and expense should be defined by the product
object also because being able to reuse purchase/shipment/invoice
workflow is a great advantage.

The main difference between a product and an asset will be that asset
doesn't create stock accounting move.

To achieve this goal, I think we should change the product type by this
new one:

- Service (this will also include expenses)
- Good
- Asset

and adding a check box (cosumable) for goods that will prevent assignation check.

We will have this migration schema:

Service -> Service
Stockable -> Good
Cosumable -> Good + consumable check box.

And only "good" type will generate stock accounting in the modules
account_stock*.

The product for assets and expenses will be similar to "Asset class" or
"Expense type" so it will not require to create a product for every
specific assets or expenses.
So common expenses will be:

- Flights
- Fuel
- Hostel

common assets will be:

- Building
- Cars

Later, I will write a blueprint for amortization of assets.

Comments are welcome.

I propose to add an 's' to the type as 'Good' can be confusing.

- Services

- Goods

- Assets

I like the proposal, including the change in consumable type to a checkbox.
