As a follow-up, it may be advantageous to the merchant to have a checkbox on the search screen to indicate "in stock only" or include out-of-stock, too. Default would probably be unchecked (both in stock and out of stock).
Thanks.

A local electronics distributor has expressed interest in LedgerSMB. One of their requirements is functionality already available in Quickbooks. By way of analogy, many people are aware that GM makes Chevy, Oldsmobile and Pontiac; often GM offers the same car but gives it a different name in each division. The electronics distributor wants to be able to add a product (part) to a sales invoice, but it's name may vary according to which model / name is in stock. They want the software to pick whichever is available, and put it on the sales invoice, in a situation where three products are essentially equivalent.Is this possible in LedgerSMB? If so, how?
Without customization the closest you could do is remove the constraint on unique partnumbers (or suffix them without removing the constraint) and just select from the search screen that comes up.
So if you have two hard drives, you could have:
hdd-500-sata-7200-1hdd-500-sata-7200-2
etc
then if you typeÂhdd-500-sata-7200 you will get a list of these and can select which one it is. ÂThis allows you to do hierarchical searches too (hdd would list all hard drives, hdd-500 might list all 500GB hard drives, etc).
With customization you could limit the search to those in stock. ÂThis has some significant issues in some cases so is not generally applicable.
