Re: tests/feedbacks for the new reporting

 

@Joel:
Hello,
You should try the sale_layout module. It allows you to create categories
and to assign a sale line into a category. The sales lines will be ordered
by their category's sequence in the listview. It is a groupby.

Instructions: Create a quotation, then insert some order lines. When you
insert one, just fill the "layout category" field (the first one). When you
click on save to validate all your order lines, the order will be updated
and will be the same when printing the sale order.
(This module applies only to sale order and invoice)
