Hello, I rather prefer the first option when I am being asked what to do
with A/P & A/R,
it's cleaner and less messy, though when people wants to keep the
historical file in openerp
I try to convince them to stick to the first option, you can create the
journal entries in a
special journal, different from the current journal.
With this entries you are still able to track the history of those A/P &
A/R in time.
Nonetheless, if they are still eager to use the second option, we have been
able to use it, as last resource, it is more cumbersome, messy, and you
have to be aware of more details

My choice first option of yours.
