Re: Article relation diagrams, current and proposed [was: Re: Changing an article's unit for subdivision...]

Find attached some (updated) relationship diagrams:

  • foodsoft_article_relation_3 - current situation (let me know if I
    missed something)
  • foodsoft_article_relation_proposed_B - proposal to have changing a
    unit not mess up current orders
  • foodsoft_article_relation_proposed_C - proposal to include
    supplier’s price in foodsoft (perhaps later, would be useful when
    the shared database becomes a web service)

These changes would allow to use a SharedArticle, Article and
ArticlePrice interchangably when displaying unit and price information.
It’s probably handy to have a mixin for net/gross/fc computations.

Please let me know if you find something that’s not correct. And,
naturally, feedback on the design is welcome.

Best,

p.s. Let me know if you think the attachments are too large, then I
could upload them somewhere. I like them in the mailing archive, though.
