Hello accounting experts, unless I did some wrong manipulations, on current trunk (v6), invoice form view do not show any more a right side link to "un-reconciled entries" like before. Instead there is a new shiny "payment" button that can bring you to a voucher form to register the payment.
Well, I like the current payment via voucher feature, but I'm not sure the workflow is obvious for people that will validate invoices AFTER they already received payments. I think this happens a lot, for instance in ecommerce (ex magentoerpconnect), you use to encode customer payments (so vouchers now), after each order import because the ecommerce tells you that the secure system accepted the credit card payment, so at some point, it's safe enough to take all that money into account for your cash management, at least on some "money to receive" intermediary account. But you'll validate the invoice only later when somebody or at least OpenERP will check that invoice data are consistent, or at the delivery for instance. With the current system, it's not trivial at all to figure out your invoice as already been paid (at least on some intermediary account, if no bank statement already confirmed the money entry in the bank account (could be a fraud for instance and money would never come to your final account) and hence it would be easy to double encode a payment. Wouldn't that be better to restore the "un-reconciled entries" shortcut on invoices so people can check before encoding a payment? Or even better, wouldn't that be cool, if the new invoice "payment" button would check if invoice partner has unreconciled payment entries and: - if yes it would bring you to the "unreconciled entries" screen so you can reconcile entries manually if you wish, or also ask to you encode a new payment anyway. - if not then it would bring you to that current voucher payment form I know reconciliation is still available as a "periodical operation". But my concern is more for small companies where few people tend to do all kind of operation, not by batch, but when events occur (eg process invoice and it payment reconciliation at the same time).
