A good point. An even better, if your below example is persistent in the demo 
database. (Can we use it with real supplier and product names?)

There were some discussion in the Tryton mailing list about purchase 
functionality that could be improved. As all companies using Tryton can take 
advantage of it, it should ideally be in the core.
Anyway, I could not grep how decisions, what comes into the core, are made, 
but I'm happy to learn....maybe on the TUL [1]?

This should be in the communication with the supplier, not necessarily on our 
own view (might confuse a purchase clerk).
Shipment costs and trading terms are as well to be specified.
