The data model is designed to support this sort of things (was from
the beginning, way back in 2001). The problem is that there are very
few parts of the code that support this. In fact I think the only
service that exists for this is one for PartyType stuff (if I
remember right).
Anyway, it could certainly be done. To get an idea of the number of
touch points just search for "FINISHED_GOOD". All code in OFBiz
_should_ refer directly to IDs like this, so it should result in a
pretty good list.
