In the revno 4776 Fabien merged from addons3 changes in refunding invoices but is not a clear process, when select cancel in filter_refund field Cancel option also create a Refund document, but in accounting when cancel a document is not created other to 'refund' i think this is a bad practice to cancel invoice document.

I hope an explanation for this changes from OpenERP SA

I'm not sure I really understood you, but as reference...


I think that we need both refunds and cancellations, the first option is a legal requirement (at least in Spain), the second one is an usability need.

Examples:

   * Refund: I create a customer invoice, I confirm it and then send it
     to my customer. Some days latter my customer notices that the tax
     is incorrect. Now I'm required (in Spain) to either create a new
     invoice with the difference between the original and the expected
     values, or create an invoice refunding the whole original invoice
     + a new invoice with the expected values.

   * Need of cancellation: I create an invoice for one customer, I
     confirm and print it. When it's printed I notice that I used the
     wrong tax. As I haven't sent the invoice, I'm legally allowed to
     alter that invoice, so I need to cancel it to be able to edit it
     (cancel, then set to draft) without creating a refund.
