@lubos before you completely remove this topic from the ideas category, could you review various issues that I raised in this post:

Status of Quotes and Orders feedback

I am starting a new topic on this as I feel that various other topics have grown too long. I have been testing the new system and come across a few points. I realise that the module is a work in progress as we have not linked up purchase invoices and goods receipts yet etc. Sales orders defaults to a reference number based on date. I did change it to automatic so the numbering starts at 1,2,3 etc. I think having reference numbers based on dates may not be a good idea as presumably one does mor…

There are/were a couple of bugs, as well as feedback on certain points. I particularly would like the status colour scheme reviewed so as to make it consistent with other areas such as invoices. Please see the topic for further information.

As mentioned in the other topic - Sales order status

I hope that you will come up with a resolution to resolve mbooth issue, whilst still being able to make the sales order show in the same order and format as invoices. I seem to recall seeing somewhere a suggestion by somebody about using projects to manage when sales and purchase order is complete, which would resolve mbooth issue and still ensure that sales orders display orders in the same way that invoices currently do.

I also raised a bug? regarding the Qty to deliver field needing to be ticked in sales order despite inventory item already having that field tick. Not sure if this is by design as in I need to set this in default forms or whether this should automatically show when an inventory item has this field ticked?
