Dear All,

I just had now a very interesting phone call with Fabien and I can confirm that all important issues that really matter for the community will be fullfilled by OpenERP.

Until now, there were actually 3 main concerns :

1. The change of the semantic (Partner/Commercial Entity vs Partner/Contact)
2. The "group by" was not consistent between objects => need to have 2 fields : company and contact
3. The need to have a hierachical search and filter based on the company AND a contact (for instance: I am on Camptocamp SA and I need to have the list of SO sent to Camptocamp SA, to Camptocamp Luc, and to Camptocamp Joel)

Concerning the above issues, Fabien confirms that they will be treated by the end of the week, as follows :

Issue 1. The semantic will remain as Partner / Commercial Entity => Ok, I know it's a shame, but we should accept it since with v7.0, we actually have to change all modules anyway => I hope such a big change will not occur again in the future, especially following a release date.

Issue 2. OpenERP will add 2 levels of "group by" : one for Partner (being, the Contact) and one for Commercial Entity (being the Company) for documents which really require them :
    * it will be a field related field / read-only / store = true
    * it will be done on modules that users can install -or not-
    * the following objects will have a double "group by" (partner + commercial entity) : SO, PO, Invoice In, Invoice Out, Analytic account, Project, Opportunity, Shipping
    * if necessary, the community can create more modules to add the double "group by" feature on other documents

Issue 3. Hierachical search and filter is already available => if not available somewhere in the tool, it will be corrected by OpenERP

Excepted the change of semantic, OpenERP has therefore accepted the resolution of the above issues and has taken into account the needs of the OpenERP community.

I think we now have a win-win situation which encourages us all to resume our work on a stable basis.

I would like to thank all the actors involved in this long and interesting discussion which led to a positive issue for all.

Best regards,

Luc Maurer
