OKay, sorry for this quick post. I will describe in more details.

The problem with the "Pay" button is that it performs two actions at the same time:
* It registers payment in the bank ledger.
* It closes the invoice, which cannot be reconciled afterwards.

A possible solution would be to split these actions in two buttons.

At first, the button would carry the text "Pay invoice".
When a user clicks on the button, payment is registered in the bank ledger.

But then the button is displayed with text "Close invoice".

If the user clicks on the button, a warning is displayed : "Closing an
invoice cannot be canceled. Furthermore,  the invoice will no be
available for bank reconciliation. Do you confirm closing the invoice?"

IMHO, this should please all users.

Title:
  Pay button in invoices should not reconcile/letter entries

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  New

Bug description:
  Dear all,

  This is OpenERP 6.03 with French localisation, so I am translating
  terms into English.

  The problem:

  The "Pay" button in a client or supplied invoice will reconcile payment and letter entries (sorry for my English).
  As a result, an invoice paid using the button cannot be added to the bank reconciliation wizard.

  Also, what is strange is the OpenERP provides payment lines, in :
  Accounting > Clients > Pay clients
  Accounting > Suppliers > Pay suppliers
  This payment feature in "lines" work perfectly.

  A possible solution:
  The "pay" button in invoices should behave exactly the same as when paying in "lines".
  Lettering and closing entries should only happen during bank statement reconciliation.

  For me, this is a major problem, as:
  * one feature (pay) cannot behave differently at two places in software, this is confusing.
  * in accounting, you cannot letter simply by clicking on a button. You can only reconcile after looking at a bank statement.
  * not using bank statements in accounting is illegal and would make OpenERP illegal in some countries, probably all European countries.

  On French forum, several users reported they could not use OpenERP
  because after clicking "Payment", they could not reconcile their bank
  statement. So users are really looking for a clarification of the
  process of payment and then bank reconciliation.

  Kind regards,
  Kellogs
