#If that's what you are talking about; it's one of the great features
you can find in an enterprise management system: it automatically lets
you link and reuse data from other parts of the system, and you can also
drill-down to see the details about a given document, alter it or create
a new one on the fly. There's nothing specific about invoices or bank
statements here, it's just the normal behavior of an ERP, and is a time
saver in many many situations: you don't have to go and find the correct
menu every time you need to do a small intermediary task, all the
buttons to do it are right there.

My answer:

This kind of feature is just not allowed in any accounting system.
In a way, this shows that you are not aware of accouting rules.

In a company, you should NEVER let people create invoice when a payment is noticed at the bank.
It is just nonsence and it may help people to steal money or register false invoices.

This is a major drawback in the OpenERP system and as a consequence
OpenERP does not quality to be used in companies.

To make a comparision, let's say you would make someone culprit in court
and if the law does not exist, you create the law on the fly. This is
what you are doing in a way. No legal system would allow that.

ALL WHAT IS ACCOUNTING relies on the process of 1) sales invoices 2) supplier invoices 3) Bank statements 4) reconciliation
Reconciliation allows closing of accounts and NOT creation or entry of any data.

This example shows HOW DEEP OpenERP is broken in accounting.
I don't know whether you are in charge of accouting and what is your level of knowledge, but if you don't understand this simple rule of accounting, this is quite appauling.

I hoped that at some point you would ask for information from real
accounting professionals but all you could do AGAIN is hide this bug or
misuage and try to close the issue, behind the door, so noone can
understand HOW DEEP OpenERP is broken.

Please listen to the community and ask a real accounting expert.
Do you have an accountant at OpenERP or are you just developers creating buttons?

Title:
  Bank reconcialiation process is broken

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  OpenERP bank reconciliation allows to create sales/purchases invoices
  when invoices are missing. This is not a normal accounting process, as
  reconciliation is only making  a relationship between dept/credit and
  payment.

  The normal process should be:
  1) Register sales and print invoices.
  2) Register purchases and print invoices.
  3) Import bank statement.
  4) Make a reconciliation between 1/2 and 3.

  Please leave this bug open as a feature request to allow the community
  to work on it.
