Dear all,

We would like to get some insight as to how we can migrate historical 
document/data (i.e. non open/outstanding items) into OpenERP. We are 
still 'researching' the possibilities but so far there isn't one that is 
satisfactory as yet.

The key goal is to upload/import/migrate historical documents (e.g. 
sales order, invoice, payment, purchase order, etc.) into the system 
where specifically book-impacting documents (such as payment and 
invoice) shouldn't 'affect' the book. One thought that we are 
investigating is using macro with the assumption of having the ability 
to set the auto generated journal items to 'Draft'. However auto 
generated journal items seem to be set to 'Posted' states. Then the next 
approach is to set those posted journal items to 'Unposted' (using 
'account_cancel' module and delete those entries). However, the entries 
can't seem to be deleted without canceling, say the invoice or payment 
documents that generate those entries.

Has anyone done this before? Would appreciate any thoughts and suggestions.

Thank you.

Regards,
Hery
