Hi, Frédéric,

Do you think a community module can be the solution? Let's make one if you want!

    There is at least 1 bug (already reported to OpenERP without
    success). Try to set a payment at '30 days, on the 15th', OpenERP
    will pick up the wrong month :
    ie : invoice dated on the 20/01 -> expected due date : 15/03

    To me, this functionnality (field days2 in
    account.payment.terms.line) is buggy for ages unless you make it a
    boolean field (net or end of month) but you cannot input any day here.

    About you initial topic : I agree that not working in calendar
    month is pretty annoying for accountants but 'exact days' are
    'acceptable' so we live with that... A module to set calendar days
    would be great.

        Hi, here in Spain, people also refers usually 30 days as a
        month, but that's not true in such extreme cases like the one
        presented on the link (the 1st of january). BTW, a lot of
        spanish software compute the term in the same way as OpenERP
        does, so we usually include in the sale invoice the payment
        terms for notifying customers the calculated ones, so that
        they can change them in their software if there is no match.
        Any discrepance (they want to delay the payment another month,
        for example), is agreed by conventional methods, and change
        accordingly in both software.

        Regards.

            Hi Sergio,

            Thanks for pointing that out: this complaint shows up a
            lot in Italy.
            Still, I think the default OpenERP behaviour should not be
            changed.

            When OpenERP says "30 days end of month" it really means
            count 30
            days, and then go to the end of the current month. That
            works just
            fine, there is no bug and I suggest keeping it like that.

            The problem is different: in places like Italy (or
            elsewhere, can
            anyone confirm this?) when people say "30 days end of
            month" they
            really mean "next month, end of month".

            So even though it goest against is the current habit (at
            least in
            Italy), I would keep the feature as it is and then a
            community module
            can add as an extra feature the ability to choose months
            instead of
            days ("next month, end of month", "two months, end of
            month" and so
            on).

            I am also in favour of adding a label of something like
            that to make
            the point clear.

            best
