[Bug 551543] Re: pro-forma invoices: documentation doesn't match implementation
OK, I changed the wording to say that Pro Forma invoices don't have an
invoice number or accounting entries, but I'm not an accounting expert,
so please review the changes here:

Title:
pro-forma invoices: documentation doesn't match implementation
Status in OpenObject Addons Modules:
Invalid
Status in OpenERP Documentation:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I'm not an international accountant, but it seems the term "pro-forma
invoice" is ambiguous and can describe 2 kind of invoices, and
unfortunately there is an ambiguity about what pro-forma invoices are
supposed to be in OpenERP: with or without accounting moves attached.
The manual reads "A Pro Forma invoice doesn’t yet have an invoice number, but the accounting entries on the invoice that’s created correspond to the amounts that Open ERP will record as the customer’s payables": http://doc.openerp.com/book/3/3_7/accounting_workflow.html#open-or-pro-forma-invoices
This is one way of managing pro-forma invoices: an invoice without a number, with accounting entries. It seems to be a disputable practice, and it's forbidden here in France, but in some places people seem to understand "pro-forma invoices" this way however.
But in the implementation of v5.0, pro-forma invoices really are
invoices without a number and without accounting entries. French
people (among others) understand "pro-forma invoices" this way.
So, either the doc is wrong or the implementation is wrong - but it has to be settled and fixed.
