Looking for general proof of concept using IC.
I am very new to IC but my hope would be to implement IC with
the follow specialized requirements.

1. I need to change the item database to support price conversions, multiple
units of measure, etc.
(the application is for lumber yard when an item could be sold by the EACH
or the LINEAL FOOT)

2. I need to create several real-time hooks for getting inventory levels and
current pricing by customer by
item by quantity ordered. (how I get this is moot just need to know that I
can stick my fingers in at the
appropriate points in IC's pages)

3. I need to add the concept of multiple customer accounts. Here a master
account (the customer) has
several jobs. I think this could be done using the userdb, but I am not
sure....

I am looking for a vote of confidence that IC can be modified to do the
above.

BTW. We would be looking for a consultant to help me jumpstart the effort.

Thanks.

Hey with Interchange anything is possible!

It would be far easier to just add the product twice. In one case it is sold by
the foot in one case it is sold by the unit.

Possible. Not a walk in the oark, but totally do-able!

Why don't you just use one account, but each job is on a different invoice? Then
nothing needs to be done for this one.

Do you mean the distance cousin of the ardvark (correctly pronounced, "oh -
ark"), found in New Zealand?
