Hello Everybody, I think OpenERP SA has changed something that was not a problem into the version 5 :
Quentin, you have explain to me that you have done this modification because you would like to simplify the number of fields on an entry view .... => for my point of view the problem is not the number of information we have on an entry line, but the meaning/translation ot them.....=> in accounting we have : - *document number *(or internal number if you prefer => invoice number) => this number should normally not have gap => that mean we should not DELETE (there is a difference between delete and cancel...) an invoice - *entry number* => only for accounting purpose (historical need perhaps, but needed) => could have gap => only one journal or more depending the habit of the accountant - *external reference* => normally this is the reference that our partner (supplier, customer) need to have for his organisation => this is often asked by client to specify their PO number for example or for us to put into the supplier invoice number to make search. - *source document* => (on invoice, not on entry) explain from which document the actual entry has been created (eg : SO number, PO number, etc...) => it is really very important and very useful - *entry description* With the 6 version, you would like to merge the document number and the entry number to make it more simple..... I think you are wrong. In fact all these information are usefull for the management => we just have to define very clearly what field for what information. Second problem => if you merge some fields => what about migration from 5 to 6 version ????? I think the version 5 was working well for all needs => the only problem could be for companies that would like to have no gap on entry number => for that we just have to specify that the entries can not been cancel. *My proposition :* - Keep the v5 functionalities but rename the fields like above - Create a module if people would like to change to what you have now into version 6 (a minority of people will use it) - Nice to have : create a new module to add a check box on sequence to be able to specify that we can reuse a not used number into the sequences => so no more number gap ;-) Regards Luc Maurer -- Camptocamp SA PSE A 1015 Lausanne Suisse Mobile : +41 79 606 07 73 Direct : +41 21 619 10 12 Centrale : +41 21 619 10 10 Fax : +41 21 619 10 00 Camptocamp France SAS Savoie Technolac 48 avenue du Lac du Bourget 73372 Le Bourget du Lac France Direct : +33 479 44 44 95 Centrale : +33 479 44 44 94 Fax : +33 479 44 44 94 www.camptocamp.com www.mapfish.org
