[7.0] Urgent please - wrong name get on partner to invoice

[Frederic Clementi - Camptocamp]

Hello,

test done on : http://trunk-2760.runbot.openerp.com/

I created a partner named 'Axelor'
I created a contact 'Mr foo' which belong to Axelor

I invoice Mr foo.

I invoice Axelor later

On my customer invoice list view, if I do a group by partner, then Mr foo (Axelor) is considered a different partner of Axelor (see my printscreen).

I should see only Axelor in both case and the contact name should be the first line of the address.

This problem has impact in many places, it is not simple a group by issue but it is a convenient example for this bug report...

Same issue on orders obviously...

partner on accounting entries are correct (we already identify and fix the problem with qdp in december)

Many thanks

I began to change this with :

- Contact of partner inherit of account (property_account_recievable and property_account_payable)
- The group by partner should do group by partner_id or parent_id if exist

You have same problem in task and issue ...

Don't you think that we should never show the partner like Mr foo (Axelor) but Axelor instead (what ever the contact name) and keep the contact name as 1st line of the address ?

[Nicolas JEUDY (njeudy)]

I think a good way could be:

- keep partner_id for customer (AXELOR)
- Add contact_id that pointed on contact Mr foo (AXELOR)

Then report can use both for document generation.

Think it's a bad id to use first line adresse as contact because it is not
is principal use. First line is the first line of address :)

@Naresh: Could you please write what will be done for this bug ? I think
there are differents possibilities to have functional way to deals with
partner and contact (maybe 2 fields) or use parent_id link for the partner
in case of res.partner.type = contact...

@ nicolas...

here is (unfortunately) the final decision that I have received today :

Hello,
the current behavior of group by is the expected and normal one, a contact is a customer and some companies may invoice to contact and want to see this contact in the result of group by. So this change won't be done. However, we will make that the search on partner field will list parents and children. Search on Axelor in invoice will show Axelor and also his contact 's invoices.
Thanks

Hello Frederic and Nicolas,

I totally agree with Nicolas,
double read the party pattern http://www.tdan.com/view-articles/5014/
let's say now our party thing is the res.partner table/object.

It's not because companies, their contact and final customers now live in the same table that they should be always inter-changeable. They are not!!
Accouting, financial and fiscal data will be all wrong if you start invoicing contact Mr Foo.

Instead I suggest we put a domain on invoice partner_id field to forbid selecting a company contact. And as Nicolas suggest, we add a new contact_id field to carry the invoice contact.

Regards.

+1 Frederic, Nicolas and Raphaël.
Invoicing to a contact or taking a company contact as an entity with fiscal atributions is a big mistake and even ilegal in several countries including spain.
