Shopping List a good idea?

Hello all,

I was wondering if a shopping list feature would be useful? What i am planning is having a button in the inventory listing call "add to shopping list" and a shopping list page that list items added to the shopping list.

I personally think this feature would be useful as you can select items you wish to purchase in the future. Initially i thought that the out of stock feature would be sufficient but i noticed that you don't neccessary only buy stock when you are low on stock :) . I hope i am making sense.

As space is fairly limited in the inventory listing, i am not sure what is the best way of adding a "add to shopping list" button and a quantity textfield. One way i could implement it is change the "Suppliers Product Page" to read "Link" and move it to the top View Edit Delete Link and add the "Add to shopping list" below. I am a little worried that new users will not understand what the button "Link" does. Also is there a better/shorter name for "add to shopping list".

Please let me know if you would personally use this feature if it was available and how do you think a feature like this could be best implemented.
