Hi Frederic,

It is critical - in our opinion - that open invoices are able to be
brought in to the system - and the opening entries wizard is not
sufficient. We've received feedback from many organization's Chief
Financial Officer's and accountants that OpenERP is deficient in this
area. Many of the other commercial ERP systems allow users to bring in
"open" invoices and their history. This would enable OpenERP to
accurately show the status of any invoice: closed, open, draft, etc in
the right state.

The primary issue is that in some countries (the US being one) - you
need to actually bring in the invoice detail - in particular because you
have to retain "payment terms" on the invoices. This invoice detail is
also required when dealing with more complex invoice payments - where
for instance a national parent is making a payment across several of
their children - and children's children. E.g. GE corporate is making a
payment for the parent, a child and a child of a child. If you are
missing some of the invoices - it is a nightmare to reconcile.

So . . . we do not agree with the assessment that the opening entry
wizard is sufficient. It is only sufficient in the simpliest
organization .  . . and does not stand-up to IRS(revenue service) audit
here in the US.

See the attached workflow as an example.

Title:
  6.0 - Partner report - impossible to get open invoices in the past

Status in OpenERP Modules (addons):
  In Progress

Bug description:
  If you try to print for example the report today, it is not possible
  to get open (unreconcile) invoices on the 31/12/2010.

  If "include reconcile entries" is unticked, the report will exclude
  entries reconciled after the 31/12/2010 which means that today the
  report is almost empty because open invoices on the 31/12/2010 are
  almost all paid. And if you compare with the partner balance, of
  course it does not match.

  This is a legal document, it must work.
