Dear all,


I agree we should use account voucher instead of bank statement in the v6.0 of the connector. But for now (at least according to the last tests Frédéric made) the voucher and reconciliation system doesn't handle the multi-currency problem well yet... 

This is just for informations and doesn't means we shouldn't use the voucher, it has to be fix ;)

My2Cents, 

Regards,



Joël

You can also select the proper OpenERP journal base on the payment type, and hence use intermediary accounts if required (we tend to do that for Paypal payments for instance, and then reconcile a transfer from intermediary account to the final account when you receive the Paypal transfer file, we usually do that with TerminatOOOR transfos).

One of the reason is that we wanted to register at least a draft of the payment even if no real accounting invoice exists at this stage (because for instance you'll create the invoice upon delivery later) and OpenERP v5 made that a bit challenging without bank statements.

> Remember, we designed base_sale_multichannels to be independent from the Magento connector and possibly used by any extern sale system (such as POS or ecommerces) interfaced with OpenERP, so many could benefit improvement here, even if other e-commerce connectors aren't re-factored over that common infrastructure layer yet.
