journal entry with tax included in price: wrong base amount

[Lorenzo Battistini]

openobject-addons/6.0 revno 4916

Steps:

 - Configure a tax included in price with amount 0.2
 - Go to accounting -> journal entries -> journal entries
 - Create a move line with credit = 100 and tax = the previously created tax
 - Save

You get 2 lines:
tax line with credit = 16.67 (correct)
base line with credit = 100 (wrong)

base line should be 83.33

This will give a strange behavior to the system. Suppose a user, that doesn't know about this feature, enters a value 100(like in your example). This user expects the system to keep this value and not to calculate it. So that's why, we suppose that accountant or users that create vouchers basing on tax included, should enter right amounts in all cases.
We prefer avoid making such calculation on fillable fields because it could cause many problems.

Dear Nel, dear Naresh,
thanks for your reply.
as already discussed, we do not really understand your position: it seems to us that the bug we reported is for real. If you decided that this should not be fixed, a good idea could be to show us how taxes included in the price should be used in an invoice and payment.
Thanks

Hello nel,

so, what's the meaning of the 16.67 line? Is it correct?

Moreover, as taxes included in price are not working on vouchers[1]
and now (6.1) it is explicitly explained on voucher form ("only for
tax excluded from price"), what's wrong with the proposed patch?

Thanks

Dear Lorenzo,
so what should user enter the tax and where beside in the vouchers?

Sorry Sukmaya, I don't understand your question
