@David, Raphael: thanks a lot for the detailed explanation, I understand
better the use cases now.

I was thinking of the multiple dimensions we have for journal entries:
e.g each entry can be linked to a Partner, which allows per-customer
bookkeeping. Perhaps a similar concept at stock.move level would help in
some cases (e.g. consigned stock). And/or another dimension for
"sublocations" could save the trouble of multiplying first-class
locations. Of course these other dimensions only make sense if you
really have the same concepts in your warehouses, e.g. if you do store
consigned products from multiple customers in the same physical
location, etc.
We're thinking of doing something like that for 6.1, but of course this
doesn't solve the other shortcomings David describes for retail
distributors.
Anyways we'll definitely have a look at the openerp-usa modules too.
I'm cc'ing Quentin who is currently in charge of our Warehouse R&D
projects (Quentin: see
