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.
