Comment 8 for bug 1008774

hi c2c fellows,

although i understand your point of view, let me emphasize on the following points:
1) the behavior you're depicting is the one chosen when the reconciliation is made by vouchers. So this problem only occures when payments are not reconciled directly at their creation.
2) for me, the real bug was to present the 2 partially reconciled invoices with a residual amount of 50 each (total 100 residual while 50 only was on the partner balance). The patch of Arnaud fixes this and it's the most important.
3) fully reconcile one of the 2 invoices would implied to
- either split the payment line in two, in order to fully reconcile the oldest invoice (what if this payment was posted?)
- either change totally the way of managing reconciliations into OpenERP.
both solutions seem to be unacceptable according to me.

So we all know that this is not perfect but the reconciliation on vouchers was made to fulfil your needs depicted here, and i believe it can handle most of the situations for a majority of people. Thus for me, this patch solves the bug in an acceptable way, at least for the almost-ready-to-release-version.

Still, we will keep in mind this possible enhancement track while making the roadmap for the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
Quentin
