Re: Bug or feature: "Pay" button in invoice

 

I think that would be a great idea. 
That or some setting during the configuration wizard. Like "invoices without actual accounting"  

This since there are very many clients who use openerp for orders, purchase, invoicing etc but just hand over the paper copies to their bookkeeper. They want simple functionality to keep track of open and closed invoices. But the two-step button would solve that too.
