Dear Amit Parik,
In our factory, we have a very detailed location scheme with up to 5 levels of nested locations.
As a rule, we always only allow stock moves to be recorded for the "leaf" locations. All the locations at the higher levels are views.

So obviously our stock root is a view too but still, we need to let the
warehouse use this as the stock location, so that the products available
& virtual quantities are evaluated correctly.

That does NOT mean that we allow assigned/done stock moves to come from (nor go to) view locations. 
However I think it's totally OK to let draft & confirmed moves from view locations, because the scheduler will change the source location anyway, and users can press "check availability" to have it do it.

Does that make sense to you?
Lionel.

Title:
  Warehouses could use view locations as stock location

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In the warehouse object, View locations can not be chosen as the stock location.
  In Bug #882481 we changed the warehouse object to only accept internal locations, so as to also exclude other strange configurations (like using an inventory/production/customer/supplier location as a stock location).

  But I think there is a case for allowing the stock location to be a view.
  It should not be a problem for generated stock moves because the scheduler will automatically change the source location to an internal location where the product is available.

  So the stock location should allow both internal and view locations.

  Lionel Sausin.
