What does it do if the new product costs more or less than the old?

So, here's the idea I want to try out:
1. I made an "Exchange" ReturnType
2. I made an "Exchange" OrderType
3. I added a "referenceProductId" relation to ReturnItem
4. I will probably add a "referenceQuantity" field to ReturnItem as
well
In the return screen, if you select "Exchange", then the user will be
asked for the product/quantity of the replacement item. Accepting the
return will function just like a replace, except the item/quantity
will
be pulled from the new fields.
I just wanted to get some feedback as to whether or not this seems
like
a good design. I feel that the logic is ok, but I'm unsure if adding
the
reference fields to ReturnItem is the proper way to add the feature. I
just don't want to paint myself (or anyone else) into this corner
where
you have to add fields to entity to add a similar feature. Thanks.

Subject: Re: Exchanges
OFBiz does support various things that could be called an "Exchange".
Usually this is done as a return for in-store credit, and then the
customer can place whatever order they would like. A CSR could also do
this on behalf of a customer without the customer having to place the
actual order.
Typically the return for replacement is for the same item and not
exchanging for a different item, but with a little playing it could
easily be used way... it's just more complicated since an exchange for
a different item usually results in a credit to, or balance due from,
the customer.

I haven't fully looked into it yet myself, but I'm told that OFBiz
does
not have exchange functionality. However, my understanding is that
you
can do replacements. I will look into it in the meantime, but if
OFBiz
does support exchanges, can someone point me in the right direction
(docs, ML, etc...)? Thanks.
