Hello,


This is a big deal of troubles... No answer yet, but we/they need to find a way. Same mess with invoice reconciliation... Make a SO, choose a partner A (company checked) as SO's partner, partner B as an invoice address, then you cannot reconcile both. Payment will have to be made by partner B, which is obviously not the case, the company will pay, not the contact !

We had a talk with OpenERP on that.. No answer yet :(

Regards,
