Hi @sbejaoui,
some modules you are maintaining are being modified, check this out!

Hi @sbejaoui and others,

In this PR, I had to make some arbitrary choices about the list of fields to override...
Maybe we can offer the final user some flexibility using config parameters...

Do not hesitate to review, give advice, discuss.

Hello everyone,

Before spending more time on test coverage, I'd like some thoughts about this implementation.

I think avoiding conflicts with other modules and enabling multi-company is necessary for larger adoption, but I'm not sure about updating company with brand data during report rendering and choices made about fields to really consider...

Anyone ? @sbejaoui ? @pierre-halleux ? @jdoutreloux ?
