I would like to suggest the following enhancements to the Inventory Form:

1) Add 2 additional fields to the page - 1 called Weight, another called Volume

Reason: When shipping product my team needs to estimate weight and volume to determine what can be loaded on the truck and to estimate freight costs. If the fields were there the delivery note could include 2 columns : one to calculate Quantity * Weight and another column to calculate Quantity * Volume with totals for both columns. THIS WOULD HELP US IMMENSELY.

2) Allow multiple vendors per Item - currently there is just one item per vendor

Reason: When we buy (and I'm sure we're not the only ones) we source the same product from multiple vendors. Some vendors have better margins and some times we are forced to buy from the more expensive vendor due to time constraints and availability of product. This is a more difficult change as this would affect the underlying table structure and how reorders are performed, however, this would better encompass the business reality out there. This change could also be incorporated into calculating different methods of COST ie LIFO, FIFO, Weighted Average.

I would really appreciate your attention on suggestion one (I know suggestion 2 would be a ver 3). I'm sure there are other companies out there (more than less) that would use such an enhancement.

Best Regards,
Marc
