Italian Localization contains a set of pages that duplicates worldwide purchase order pages in order to manage subcontracting orders as separate entities.

Standard order pages are filtering out subcontracting order and subcontracting order pages (12152..12155, 35490) are filtering only this order type.

This kind of implementation introduce a lot of extending limitation since every app that extends this process must be deployed twice, one for Italy and one for the rest of the world.

The request is to Obsolete and delete italian pages and remove filters from W1 standard pages in order to let the user manage subcontracting orders in the same standard pages.

Yes, such duplication leads to hard work for developers, or such pages going out of sync with the 'normal' ones. Plus, it can be better handled by extending the standard page with 'modes', e.g. by adding a `procedure SetSubcontractingMode(Boolean)` or adding a `RunPageView` filter, then detecting those and adding/hiding fields/filters/etc. I have done that to remove/replace 'duplicate' pages in the past, and I think it worked fine.
