# 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.

I agree with you that bank reconciliation is intended to find and fix
error.  Bank reconciliation is intended to find unregistered invoices.
But you are supposed to contact the supplier ... and ask the invoice.
When creating invoices, you NEED to have a paper invoice or electronic
invoice in front of your eyes. And anyway, you are not supposed to pay
anyone without a prior invoice.

So there are basically two scenarios:
* The invoice exists but was lost or never received or not entered in the system. If the invoice was lost, you contact the supplier and ask for the invoice. Then you should open a new dialog and create the invoice using normal mechanisms.
* An illegal payment was done. Of course, you make a report and/or try to understand what went wrong.

In NO situation, OpenERP should create accounting lines automatically
when a payment was done.

# 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.

OK, please don't make a personal point. We are discussing about OpenERP.
It seems to me that OpenERP is able to automatically create accounting
lines automatically during bank reconciliation.

Do you confirm or not?

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.
