Sorry Jean-Michel, you don't understand what I explained, let me try one
more time.

To make things simple: in a paper-based company, if I'm in charge of both invoices and bank statement reconciliation, what stops me from recording a new supplier invoice from scratch at any time, e.g. if I notice that it is missing in our supplier invoice journal during a bank statement reconciliation? Nothing. If I have access to all the books, and I am entitled to validate each step, I can do it and fix the errors. And it's not uncommon for very small businesses to have the same person in charge of these various  steps - they need that kind of flexibility, and it's certainly not illegal. The new invoice will be duly recorded in the supplier invoice journal, it was simply created later in the process.
It cannot be abused for stealing money any more than what the normal process would allow: if you're in charge of both things in your company, you can record invoices at any point, later or earlier makes no difference. In fact that's not the point, everything you do is still traceable.
Now for larger companies this flow will automatically become stricter because the various steps will require the validation of different persons.

It's the same thing in OpenERP: if you allow a single user to perform
both operations, there's nothing to stop them from doing it whenever
they want, earlier or later - it would simply not make sense. And just
like for the paper-based flow, you can start to enforce stricter rules
for larger companies by configuring the access rights properly (Note:
don't use the admin account for testing - this account is only meant for
troubleshooting/configuring the system)


PS: With all due respect, please stop the statements about us trying to "hide bugs from the community" etc, at this point you're making a fool of yourself, and you risk being simply ignored in the future. Several people from the community have already tried to explain to you how ridiculous these claims are, and you have received links to the documentation where the process is explained.
As I mentioned in a previous bug report, community netiquette requires you to be respectful even when you disagree with someone, especially when you don't have a lot of experience with the system on which you are reporting bugs. Don't be surprised if we ignore you in the future, you have been warned several times already.

Title:
  Bank reconcialiation process overcome Kellogs, and You ?

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.

  Jean-Michel
