[Bug 789237] [NEW] [stable 6} Refund a refund invoice is confusing

 

Public bug reported:

I am not sure what this functionality actually does, I tentatively tried
to test it but got no result.  Besides it makes no sense.

Open up a Paid/Open Credit Note under Customer Refunds in Accounting
Menu.  You will see a button called refund.  It is confusing as
anything.  What am I refunding?  If I was refunding the credit note,
then the options would be to post Sales Journal, but they are for Sales
Refund Journal.  It just makes no sense to refund a refund.

On further inspection I discovered it creates an invoice of type
out_invoice in the Sales Refund Journal which is nonsense anyway.   Then
following that it opens the Credit note screen with a blank list as
obviously the type is different.  In invoices there is a new draft
invoice.

I'm not sure that the behaviour is necessarily wrong or undesirable.
But maybe the options and wizard text need renaming in context of a
credit note, because they do the opposite of what it says.
