Just to add in a different view point...

The experience with the 'Check Total' field was very jarring in the
old system, and the error message was very confusing. I would often
get calls from our finance team asking me what the message meant - it
was just because they hadn't entered the check total, not because of
an error on the invoice. When they entered a supplier invoice, they
naturally check the total against the invoice total anyway. So our
finance team were very happy to see this field and the validation
removed (I had a number of comments on this!).

So, please don't put it back! I think that it's okay to make it a
system-configurable option, or even to provide a small optional module
that adds the feature.

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

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Opinion

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
