Impact

These changes should improve usability and (ideally) should not affect business logic,
unless you have implemented customizations on Purpose field in Stock Entry. 

It is recommended that one should not change the drop down options of a select field when the value of such a field is used for triggering events.

We are planning to remove the "Remarks" field (gradually) from all forms, as it serves the same purpose as comments.

Further upcoming changes:

* Create Purchase Request from Production Planning Tool
* Multi-level BOM will be automatically identified if BOM of sub-assembly item is specified
