In the UK we dont have such fiscal laws and as such a flexible system is
always preferred. at the end of the day - its upto the company who
implements the system to install the extra module and allow the deletion
of such records and/or allow end users full access to delete these.

If you dont want to allow deletion of account_moves then I believe this
is very simple to implement and as such you will only be able to cancel
the moves and not delete.

Title:
  [trunk] account_cancel - naming issue

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  New

Bug description:
  IMHO a serious accounting issue

  ./account.py:        'update_posted': fields.boolean('Allow Cancelling
  Entries', help="Check this box if you want to allow the cancellation
  the entries related to this journal or of the invoice related to this
  journal"),

  what happens is that account_move and account_move_lines are deleted
  (not canceled).

  http://www.iwp.or.at/Documents/GS-DV01.pdf (German) describes the basics of accounting and clearly states that
  * 1.4 on page 7, that posted entries may not be altered in a way that the original posting can't be reproduced.

  violating this principle might or will lead to the fact that the accounting can't be audited and will not be accepted by the fiscal authorities.
  it will create gaps in ids as well as in name/ref fields and nobody will ever be able to reconstruct what happens as audittrail on account_move_line does not work (see other bug report) either

  This should be clearly stated in the description.

  Cancelling invoices must lead to an additional move with move_lines which revert the original move_lines. 
  This and only this is the "normal" way which is accepted by fiscal authorities (at least here in Austria)
