1.0.9.2 is almost all changes in the Admin Side

This sort of thing will be very easy to do if admin/catalog.php could be modularized like the Pi modules in product_info.php

Additional product characteristics and settings can already be easy added in additional tabs with productTab and updateProductAction hooks.
See my addons "Ajax Attributes Manager" and "QtPro" for examples.

On my current site (Ms2.2) I did this (in red the English translation) but as a radio button, which allows more possibilities.
For example when "Product status is in stock" and "supplier stock is permanent shutdown", the text on a yellow background appears: "last items available, manufacturer permanent shutdown".

I assume that you use the core product_status as 1 (in stock) and 0 (out of stock).
Then you have some other flag(s);
supplier_stock: 1 OK, 2 Shutdown, 3 Blah blah, 4 Whatever
Or
Have you got it all running through "product_status" ? 1 (in stock) 0 (oos), 2 supplier OK, 3 Shutdown

Have a product 'status' as a drop down {editable reasons like order status allows user to define them} to allow more status like 'Obsolete' 'Do Not Reorder' 'Archived' etc. instead of just
in stock/out of stock, maintain existing core comparability by each of the new Status's being in-stock/out of stock.

This way there's more info about why an item is not in stock and an expanded admin search could be made ..later on.. baed on the status of items with some items status to determine if be left from searches both admin and client side. The use of this could be very helpful to plugin authors.

This is a similar question in my post above, replying to Fred.

Using the product_status like this...seems a mistake.
Just make a new flag (or multiple flags) and you have all you need to do what you want.

Remove input of 'Products Quantity' from Edit Product and New Product and make a product receiving module with input of Supplier, Cost, stock location, Invoice number and date.

What's stopping ya getting this made, then offering it back to Core.

Yes I use the core product_status as 1 (in stock) and 0 (out of stock).
For the others flags, this is the same system : 1 (yes) and 0 (no)
Then in the code, different scenarios:

Product_status : 0 don't show the product
Product_status : 1 show the product

Product_status : 1 and Sale out of stock: 1 : I sale the product if out of stock (On-demand product manufacturing, for example)
Product_status : 1 and Sale out of stock: 0 : I don't sale the product if out of stock but the product is show (Out of stock product at home)

Product_status : 1 and Sale out of stock: 0 and Supplier Stock : 1 : The product is shown
Product_status : 1 and Sale out of stock: 0 and Supplier Stock : 0 : The product is not in stock at the supplier and i show a message to tell that this is the last items (It's to boost sales like an emergency situation if you need absolutely this product)

This is the correct way to do it
Multiple flags allow you to do some very interesting things.

This can be achieved for some years with no core code changes, I think.
