I fully agree with Stéphane Bidoul (sbi). Supplier invoices are treated
differently.

In accounting, it is crucial that for supplier invoices you enter the
total amount of the invoice which has to be checked against the total of
the individual lines. Compare it to the bank statement where the ending
balance (entered manually) is checked against the total of all lines.

As an example enter the following supplier invoice:

one line with 4.75 EUR and 0% VAT
second line with 460.23 EUR and 21% VAT.

OpenERP calculates for the second line 96,65 EUR of VAT, which makes the
invoice total equal to 561,63 EUR.

However, the invoice received from the supplier stipulates 96,66 EUR as VAT, which makes the total invoice amount equal to 561.64.
And here, I really don't care about which totals are calculated correctly. That is not the point. Point is I have to enter in OpenERP the exact same invoice figures as my supplier sent me. And I want the system to warn me when there is a difference. 

If I encode this invoice without being able to enter the expected total
of the invoice (as I used to do in version 6.0), I might post the
invoice with the wrong VAT and total (and I know this invoice only has
two lines, but the same might happen with a dozen of invoice lines).

Removing this field is NOT an improvement at all!

So PLEASE give me back the check_total field! Or at least give me the
choice to have this field or not.

Title:
  [6.1/ trunk] check_total field removed from supplier invoices

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Hello,

  In 6.0 there was a field named check_total on supplier invoices. The
  user filled that field first with the total amount on the invoice
  (taxes included). When validating the invoice, the system checked that
  the computed total matched the entered total. This allowed to catch
  data entry errors and VAT calculation errors (such as when the wrong
  tax code were selected).

  In 6.1 (and in trunk as far as I can tell), this field (hence the
  check) has been removed.

  Best regards,

  -sbi
