Rima:
I am working a new way of thinking of products and its relationships.
It is based on product prototype concept (see "Product Configurations - An
application for prototype object approach" by Hannu Pertonen, Tomi
Maennistoe, Kay Alho and Reijo Sulonen) (
www.soberit.hut.fi/pdmg/papers/Pelt94.pdf)

The basic idea is to construct a tree of products, where each products
inherits properties from parents, very much alike prototype based languages
do.

This basic construct could be used in processes from planning till
production. In sales, for example, it could be used to provide specific
configuration data to products, like color or size. In Engineering to Order
processes, engineering data could be added during the design or production
of a product reflecting the decisions made along the process. In production
in particular it could be used to compose products or, like in your case to
add serial number for an specifc product delivered to a customer.

Unfortunattly, I am just at the beginning of the process, so I have only
implemented something aimed to product configuration. Nevertheless, it
could be used a proof of concept that could be extended to other parts of
the productive chain. It supports multiple inheritance and some recursive
properties. It should be considered alpha quality, without any extensive
testing. I am attaching the module

An user-friendly Product configuration, the messy variant concept, a
programble BOM artifact or serious handling of serial number have been
allways something I wish to improve on OpenERP. But all of them are big
issues, very inside the design phylosophy of the base modules, and thus any
modification is extensive.

If you think this is a possible approach for your case, or any of the
experts in the list, I will be glad to work together on the idea.
Give my regards to Dave. I was with him in my introductory course to
OpenERP, and I have good memories of that

Best regards
