Ok this is a special cases where the customer allow the supplier to take money from his bank account. So the company know about that. But this is just one special process for such customers. I don't see it is useful to get this information on any of the proviously described document. > >>Do you think account.payment.order should go to its own > >>module or better moved into account_payment_type? > >What is an "account.payment.order"? > > > > A payment order is an order to get the money of several debit > customers.

They certainly don't have the same workflow. > With a > payment order you can obtain a file with a certain format that you > can sent to your bank to automatically process these payments, as I > explain before.

I think such feature must be designed very well because it defines the way to manage the cash flow of the company. So it must be flexible, customizable, generic etc. -- Cédric Krier B2CK SPRL Rue de Rotterdam, 4 4000 Liège Belgium Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Email/Jabber: cedric.kr...@b2ck.com Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
