[Health-dev] Why does Tryton not contain a "pack size" field for products?

[address@hidden]

Hi Luis and GNU Health team

Does the Tryton development plan include the 
introduction of a new product field called "pack size"?

This will be essential 
for GNU Health hospitals and clinics who need to order products in packs and 
issue to patients in units (tablets, capsues, mL, vials etc).

Cost fields will 
need to be:

pack cost price
unit cost price

pack list price
unit list price


I do understand that this could involve considerable Tryton development time 
but I don't think that the "problem" of GNU Health users needing to split packs 
can be avoided.

See attached file to illustrate the relationship between packs 
and units.

Maybe Cedric can comment?

Regards

Andrew
