To knwo the volume you need "depth" also widht*height*depth (fr:depth n'est peux être la bonne traduction hauteur*longeur*largeur) To me it seems to be a good idea. Florian HENRY florian.he...@open-concept.pro +33 6 03 76 48 07 http://www.open-concept.pro Twitter : @_Open_Concept_ Secretaire d

Hi ! Thanks for the answer. Of course these 2 new fields I propose won't be mandatory, so they won't bother you much. Today the volume information is used in shipments, and I assume that even if you are selling bottles, they have a length, width and height, which are defined by the box or packing

Then you'd have to have an UI element for the shape. And they are no perfect cylinders. We use the volume for the amount of content in the bottles/glasses. Am 05.12.13 15:19, schrieb Sasa Ostrouska: On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 3:08 PM, Philip Lehmann-Böhm mailto:phi...@philiplb.de>> wrote:

In current version all dimensions can be used or not People who want to enter length+width+heigth, yuo can do so. In such cases, volume is autocalulcated. People who don't want to enter immediatly a volume, and don't want to have volume calculated, can also do this. All user have to do is to enter

This sounds good. People wanting some auto-volume-calculation are happy and we are happy, too, then. :) Am 05.12.13 16:38, schrieb Destailleur Laurent: In current version all dimensions can be used or not People who want to enter length+width+heigth, yuo can do so. In such cases, volume is aut

We are using only either the volume or the weight, nothing else. For us, the use case is to give some information about the content, not the box/glass/bottle. When we enter only the weight or volume, nothing goes wrong currently. :) And as Destailleur posted, it's totally fine like this: If you

I also find this rule ok, if need to calculate then input single dimensions, otherwise just input the result. No one of this fields should be mandatory IMHO. Rgds Saxa On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 4:53 PM, Philip Lehmann-Böhm wrote: > We are using only either the volume or the weight, nothing else.
