intransparent handling of account_move state draft/posted and various reports/lists - periodical validation of moves

 

Hi!
I just noticed that some reports/lists silently (without asking for this in 
the wizard) check for account_move.state and some others not.

Combined with the fact that the "context" of the queries is mostly not printed 
/ shown anywhere it is almost impossible to explain why different 
reports/lists  show different numbers. 

As requested already multiple times OpenERP needs to get much more user 
friendly in this respect to be successfully implemented.

So I would like to suggest to set "Skip draft state" in Journals for now.
IMHO no one expects to validate moves after having validated/posted invoices, 
bank statements, automatically generated stock moves and others.

requiring periodical manual "Validate Account Moves" is not something I would 
expect as default in a modern accounting system.  

So turning off and requiring manual validation should be the exception for 
special cases.

I also doubt that it conforms to good accounting practice  to allow changes in 
moves and move lines which might lead to inconsistency between validated "data 
sources" and moves.
