[Bug 692322] [NEW] [trunk][stock] Searchbox: stock.production.lot - usability problems

 

Public bug reported:

On Internal Move form (used in many places in stock and mrp modules, for example on Internal Moves->Stock Moves) one can specify a Production Lot. The search form for the Production Lot has some problems concerning usability.
When this form shows up then every time the user 
1. needs to click on the "Available" button (people almost never need to choose from outdated Lots with empty stock)
2. needs to scroll right to see the available quantities and the dates (these data are the most important in food industry)

Solution:
1. The "Available" filter button should be active (pressed) by default. 
2. The Product column could be removed (its the widest). It doesn't contain any useful information, since in every row it contains the same product. This product is the same as in the Internal Move form from which this search form was opened. I haven't seen any place in OpenErp where there are LOTs for multiple products on this form.

With this two changes a lot of unnecessary clicks and scrolls could be eliminated every time.
The product filter input could be removed also because it is never used (for the same reason as above)

Several keyboard push or mouse click could be eliminated also by setting
the initial focus on the list. The user almost always need to choose
only from the available LOTs which are mostly a few only, so it's easy
to choose from the list and there is no need to filter.

Thanks in advance!
