in field definition,
original field is in product module :
'type': fields.selection([('consu', 'Consumable'),('service','Service')], 'Product Type', required=True, help="Consumable are product where you don't manage stock, a service is a non-material product provided by a company or an individual."),
override in stock module :
'type': fields.selection([('product', 'Stockable Product'), ('consu', 'Consumable'), ('service', 'Service')], 'Product Type', required=True, help="Consumable: Will not imply stock management for this product. \nStockable product: Will imply stock management for this product."),
create a new module depending stock module and override the field by adding tuple you need to the selection field
As Cyril wrote it shouldn't be a problem, tested similar things in my system and it works so .... go ahead :)
Backup first and copy original file before make any changes.
What means "works"? Technically or did you do a comprehensive end-to-end testing of the consistency of the quantity and value flows over all business processes of the complete value chain?

As Cyril explained, you can quite easily do that. But are you sure about the consequences? Why would you like to do that at all? What is the difference between a stockable product and a stockable part? Do you know what happens with your warehouse management, the inventory valuation, your bill of materials (if any) etc.? What if you have to deliver spare parts? Product definition is at the heart of an ERP system, I would never ever do something like that.
your right, he should override all methods which test type of product for stock management inventory ...., possible but good luke !
prefer use a category or add a boolean field on product object.
The product type I need to add would be some thing like Stockable Part
