  1. Cancel button should be in "More" button

    most of form view have a "cancel" button and it is easy to be pressed. put it in the "More" button, just before the "delete" item should be better.

      • CalDAV and CardDAV support for V7 to synchronize calendars and contacts

        The CalDAV and CardDAV protocols are needed to synchronize the calendar and contacts with mobile / smartphones (like Android, iOS etc.) and a groupware server (like Exchange, Zimbra, Kerio etc.). It's very important for a sales team to have their appointments and contacts on their smartphone in a fast and easy way.

        • Allow 'smart' entry to amounts via simple calculations - like 15 - 5 - for the amount of 10

          I frequently find customers who have to classify portions of a purchase into different accounts. They receive a receipt for purchases of items that need to be partially expensed as kitchen equipment and partially expense as kitchen supplies. If the amount is for $50 and the kitchen equipment is for $20 - they want the balance ($50 - $20) to be expensed and kitchen supplies. It would be great if they could enter 50 - 20 as the amount for the second line in the account voucher.

          • Include progress billing in OpenERP Project Management.

            Billing will depend on the project completion taking into account the quantities of the product consumed and hours of service rendered on a certain project phase.

              • Batch printscreen

                OpenERP 7 introduces printscreen beautifully. That is the fact that you can print any view directly from your browser (File > Print) and that it renders a very nice report of what is displayed thanks to @media print (similarly to what the GTK client is able to do, and even better because it works great with kanban and page views). This implies that you don't need to create reports anymore if all you want is to display non-computed information.
                However, there is one limitation to this: batch printing.
                We should be able to select several records in a list view…

                • Add Inbox view to a Dashboard

                  Why is it that you cannot send one of your Inbox message views to your personal Dashboard (or any dashboard)? It is such a narrow view that would make perfect sense in a dashboard among other personal relevant info. Same goes for News groups. Once this is possible, having My Dashboard as home page would be just perfect.

                  • Contacts image should be used as a visit card holder

                    a picture of the contact can be uploaded now. in my opinion it is not very useful. a better use would be a larger, visit card view.

                    • Enable printer direct to a network printer or via CUPS

                      Enable direct printing via a printer defined in CUPS that would enable batch printing of invoices as well as avoid the creation of PDF files.

                        • Make browsable diagram views

                          For example you have a diagram view with some filters active or not, intuition suggests that you can click on the pie slice and navigate to the list of records that make up that portion, for example in a tree view with some filters like ids or something else

                          • Add view like highstock library

                            For example, you have some records in openerp like stock moves, accounts moves, etc, that you need to analize in temporal context, to make sense and have projections of the trend in information behavior

                            examples: http://www.highcharts.com/stock/demo/line-markers

Once recieved, follow up with the client, or supplier, reating the account, contact etc. The same thing can be done by any person, on the fly, without going into the system, and modifying data: This note..could then be added to the clients call list later. It would be a faster way to keep pace with a fast phone call. Sometimes you do not want to keep…

                                    I want to start aplication when is not available internet .
                                    In V7 is poseble to stat aplication whwn is active internet conection

                                    If the user goes offline but has visited the site while online, the cached resources will be loaded so the user can still view the site in a limited form.

                                    In HTML5 is posible to use "manifest file" to make posible start POS aplication when in not available.
