[Bug 1051416] Re: incoming shipment' move date same as the picking date

 

I don't agree with the rationale why this bug report was labelled
invalid so I am re-opening it.

I'd like to rephrase the problem:

When receiving inbound shipment, the resulting moves - both stock and
accounting - ultimately get dated with current system date, and there
doesn't seem to be any way to enter the actual date the shipment was
received? (Which IMHO should be the date that gets placed on the moves
and the accounting journal entries).

This is clearly absurd, because it means it is not possible to enter
historical data and have the accounting records reflect accurately the
moves in the correct period.

The incoming shipment record has two dates on screen:
* Order Date ... not sure what this is really supposed to be representing, since it is a separate editable value from the original PO Date.
* Scheduled Date

Ideally, it seems to me that there should be a third date - initially
empty - which is filled in with the actual date the goods were
received.... and this is the date that should go on the move and
accounting journals.

On thee individual move lines there is also a Date and a Schedule Date.
The date is editable, but ultimately gets overridden with system date
when the goods are 'received'.

I can see a couple of simple solutions to this, but I'd like to at least
get agreement that philosophically the way it works at the moment is
kind of "silly" and makes things unworkable from an accountants point of
view. The general accounting parts of openERP allow records to be
entered with historical effective dates. Why should this not also be
true of Goods in and out?

I'm sure if we go looking on the Sales side we will find the counterpart
problem concerning Despatch dates to customers.
