Hello,

In my opinion (and our accountant's as well), this is not an
improvement, but rather a removed feature.

Indeed, supplier invoices are different than customer invoices in this
respect.

When you enter a customer invoice, you calculate and verify the total
price yourself.  In the case of a supplier invoice, what the user does
when entering the invoice in the system, is actually rebuilding the
supplier invoice by entering all lines, setting tax codes, etc. In that
situation, entering the total first and verifying at the end that all
you have entered matches what the supplier meant is a desirable feature.
It is easy to make mistakes when entering complex supplier invoices and
it is very helpful to have the system check it for you.

I hope this can be reconsidered, as it was really a good feature. And
from a useability standpoint, it was very easy to explain the feature to
users, while it is quite difficult to explain why it has disappeared.

Best regards,

-sbi

Title:
  [6.1/ trunk] check_total field removed from supplier invoices

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  New

Bug description:
  Hello,

  In 6.0 there was a field named check_total on supplier invoices. The
  user filled that field first with the total amount on the invoice
  (taxes included). When validating the invoice, the system checked that
  the computed total matched the entered total. This allowed to catch
  data entry errors and VAT calculation errors (such as when the wrong
  tax code were selected).

  In 6.1 (and in trunk as far as I can tell), this field (hence the
  check) has been removed.

  Best regards,

  -sbi
