Oups ! Well, at the moment, we have different cases : full refund or partial refund, linked or unlinked to a specific invoice, already paid (and cleared ?) or not paid (and uncleared ?), invoice & refound in the same posting period or not and for this last case, invoice posting period still open or not, VAT to be paid on different status (In France VAT on Services becomes only payable when the invoice is paid, but VAT on goods becomes payable as commonly when invoice is simply posted)
I propose to keep it as simple as possible ! Could we not simply stay on the common accounting rules ? Accounting rules request to define the accounting date in accordance of document creation. A posting date is necessery posted in the corresponding period (we discussed this on the community days and the default customizing will be period check on). It's the easyest way to avoid tax problems Regarding this proposal, is there a difference at the accounting point of view for : partial or full refounding ? NO ! linked or unlinked to a specific invoice ? NO ! Already paid or not ? NO ! It simply possible that we also have to repay the refund amount Invoice in the same period ? NO ! Invoice in a closed period ? NO ! VAT in specific status ? NO ! Perhaps should I risk a specific comment about this : It's not the OpenERP job to solve all the "possible requests" that accountant can imagine to reduce tax or other fiscal advantages with playing in the past or other systems ! We not only have to satisfy our customers, we also have to provide a fair system to garantee that the tax controllers & other country authorities will not reject OpenERP as accounting system in one or another country because of some specific adaptations ! It should probabily be the end of the product... I crossed this kind of problems many years ago. Sorry if my approach or if my last comment offend somebody. It's only a point of view from an old accountant. Kind regards Alain -- A refund should not have the same date as the invoice https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550742 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenERP's Accounting Experts, which is a direct subscriber. Status in OpenObject Addons Modules: Confirmed Bug description: In the current 5.0-bzr, when you get a customer invoice and press the "refund" action button, it seems the refund invoice gets the same date as the initial invoice. Our users think it should get no date at all, since the date of the original invoice can be in an accounting period than is closed.
