Ferdinand, an alternative behavior where the due date and payment term
aren't exclusive could be like this:

  - Only the payment term is specified: The different payment dates are
calculated using the payment terms rules using the current date as
start.

  - Only the due date is specified: That date is used.

  - Both the due date and payment terms are specified: The payment dates
are calculated using the payment term rules, using the due date as the
date of the first payment term (or the last term, I don't remember now
what is the current behaviour in OpenERP with multiple payment terms).


Examples:

  - Payment terms is "30/60 days", and we are on 2010-06-28: first
payment date is 2010-07-28, second payment date is 2010-08-27; (first)
due date is automatically set on the invoice to 2010-07-28.

  - Due date is 2010-07-15: The payment date is 2010-07-17.

  - Payment terms is "30/60 days", and due date is 2010-07-15: first
payment date is 2010-07-15, second payment date is 2010-08-14.

  - Payment terms is "30 days", and due date is 2010-07-15: the payment
date is 2010-07-15.

That way, if you cancel an invoice you created yesterday or the last
week, to correct some small detail, and reconfirm it, the old payment
dates will be retained unless you clear out the due date.

Bug description:
Hello Experts,

There is a little but important discussion here about due_date.

The Current scenario is, On Invoice; Doesn't matter we write due_date or no, its being overwritten based on the calculations of payment term(if supplied).

One of the accounting expert said that, when we have given any date on due_date explicitly, (that is the date we want), Validating the invoice should not overwrite the due_date.

We would like to know your view,how fair is it?

Does it affect anything? Maturity date will be fine with partial payments(20% + 30% + rest)?

Thanks.
