Hi Urgenus,
Welcome to the forums!
Interesting scenario. So yes, you could certainly use Form Tools - but I want to check that some of the functionality that you're used to won't get lost.
From what you described, the way I picture it working is that you'd have a public (or intranet-public) form or forms where people could order stuff. That would all get stored in Form Tools, which could be exported in a table exactly like the one you posted. So far so good.
What Form Tools *won't* do for you it tot up the running totals for each column - at least, not "out the box". For that, you'd need to edit the Export Manager html/printer-friendly table-format Export Type (okay, that was a serious mouthful... clearly I need to come up with less verbose terms!). But the point is that you'd need to edit the template so that it would add in that bottom row. Very do-able, and I can help out with it - but I want to let you know that that's NOT functionality that's included in the script by default.
Hope this info helps!
- Ben
