@ Robin @DP ...

Posting invoices/expenses to a prior period is still allowed what we want
to block is to do this on a previous *fiscal year*.

However, legally, you are correct there is not issue removing this
constraint since this is the period which is important not the date.

But, saying that, I do not count the number of times customers called us
complaining about financial reports because they printed report by date and
then by fiscal year and noticed differences.

I have also been asked many times why webkit financial reports do not
compute initial balance when date filters are used...

It is a fact : Most of OpenERP finance users are not accounting specialist.
Users expect adequation between date and fiscalyear (even period
sometimes).

OpenERP is great for its flexibility but for accounting purposes most
people dare to make mistake and want a work frame.
