Dear all,

I'm curious about the reasoning behind the implementation of 
has_something_to_reconcile method that is introduced in revision 7518 of 
OpenERP 7.0 addons.
What I have found from the available code is that it is used to check 
whether or not to update last_reconciliation_date which is in turn used 
to in account.move.line's default search if *Next Partner to Reconcile* 
filter is turned on and in the *Reconciliation: Go to Next Partner* 
wizard.  Are these the "only" use of last_reconciliation_date field?

has_something_to_reconcilemethod, that is checked before updating 
last_reconciliation_date, only checks for open account.move.lines that 
is dated after last_reconciliation_date and hence ignores back-dated 
entries.  Is this intended behaviour?  Are there reason behind this?

If I were to drop the has_something_to_reconcile check, because it is 
actually quite an expensive query if you are considering a company with 
a single major customer/supplier and hence most of the 
account.move.lines are linked to that customer/supplier, would it affect 
the overall accounting flow?

Thank you,
