@Fabien
I am astonished that you downturn legal requirements.

deleting posted account moves and move lines - regardless from where
this is done - is illegal in most countries

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)
