[Bug 873092] Re: account_fiscal_position should have a foreing rules to cancel removal

 

Why is this bug affected to "Akretion team" ? Is there a good reason ?
Well, if Akretion is granted with commit right on the addons, then I
would love to keep the bug affected to Akretion :-)

About the bug itself :

I don't agree with "a fiscal position with taxes should never be
removed". What's the problem with removing a fiscal position with taxes
?

I would prefer to have : "a fiscal position that it used on a
partner/sale order/purchase order/invoice should be removable". In
OpenERP 5.0 and 6.1 (I didn't test on other versions), you can remove a
fiscal position that is used on an invoice ; I was quite suprised to see
that.

Title:
  account_fiscal_position should have a foreing rules to cancel removal

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Dear all,

  This is OpenERP 6.03 with French accounting rules.

  While working on a new fiscal rule, I was able to delete an important rule, 
  which is for applying taxes in the European Union.

  I had nearly a heart attack!

  Fortunately, I had a PostgreSQL backup and could access the table structure using pgAdmin3.
  This is table account_fiscal_position. I used vim to import the missing line.

  Then I discovered that the taxes registered in the fiscal rule had
  been removed also.

  At PostgreSQL level, there should be a foreign rule to cancel removing
  a fiscal rule when it contains taxes.

  The table definition is:

  CREATE TABLE account_fiscal_position_account
  (
    id serial NOT NULL,
    create_uid integer,
    create_date timestamp without time zone,
    write_date timestamp without time zone,
    write_uid integer,
    position_id integer NOT NULL, -- Fiscal Position
    account_dest_id integer NOT NULL, -- Account Destination
    account_src_id integer NOT NULL, -- Account Source
    CONSTRAINT account_fiscal_position_account_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id ),
    CONSTRAINT account_fiscal_position_account_account_dest_id_fkey FOREIGN KEY (account_dest_id)
        REFERENCES account_account (id) MATCH SIMPLE
        ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE SET NULL,
    CONSTRAINT account_fiscal_position_account_account_src_id_fkey FOREIGN KEY (account_src_id)
        REFERENCES account_account (id) MATCH SIMPLE
        ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE SET NULL,
    CONSTRAINT account_fiscal_position_account_create_uid_fkey FOREIGN KEY (create_uid)
        REFERENCES res_users (id) MATCH SIMPLE
        ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE SET NULL,
    CONSTRAINT account_fiscal_position_account_position_id_fkey FOREIGN KEY (position_id)
        REFERENCES account_fiscal_position (id) MATCH SIMPLE
        ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE CASCADE,
    CONSTRAINT account_fiscal_position_account_write_uid_fkey FOREIGN KEY (write_uid)
        REFERENCES res_users (id) MATCH SIMPLE
        ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE SET NULL
  )
  WITH (
    OIDS=FALSE
  );

  I don't know OpenERP very well, but I guess it there should be an additional check to cancel any accidental removal.
  A fiscal rule with taxes ... should never be removed. A user should remove taxes one by one and then remove the fiscal rule.
  This way, there is little chance for accidental removal.

  Also, just for information, I had used this rule in 100s of entries.
  So maybe removing a fiscal rule being used ... should not be allowed in any cases, as it breaks the information system.
