@Fabien.

Dont forget,

If the contact has a parent_id, and this parent is a company, all
accounting information should com from parent itself,

Just contact without a parent that is_company==True should take them own
information, with this kind of behaviour you will be consistent with what
all fields mean.

Regards, and thank for the answer.

PS: I think yet we will find a lot of mor logic features regarding to other
models but i think with this options we will mantain consistency with terms
and normal features.

>   Hello,
>
>   How to reproduce
>   -------------------------------
>
>   runbot + sale_crm module installed.
>
>   Create a new prospect like this:
>   subject: 'new project'
>   company name: 'CompanyX'
>   contact name: 'Joe'
>
>   convert the lead it to an opportunity with the default settings (eg
>   create new partner).
>
>   By default the opportunity is related to the new contact Joe, who has
> been correctly created as a contact of CompanyX.
>   But notice this is debatable whether it's good or not to link the
> opportunity to Joe instead of CompanyX. Indeed, CompanyX may have many
> contacts and this makes it hard to manage your opportunities by the
> companies behind the contacts.
>
>   But there is worse:
>   Now convert the opportunity to a new quote using default settings.
>
>   By default: the new quote will be related to Joe, not CompanyX!!
>   That is if you continue the flow, who will be invoiced will be Joe, not
> CompanyX, that is the accounting with CompanyX is going to be all wrong.
>
>
>   Expected behavior
>   -------------------------------
>   1) at the very least, in such case, the default address/company for the
> quote conversion should be the parent CompanyX instead of contact Joe.
>   2) eventually, the opportunity could be related to CompanyX too instead
> of Joe. Eventually this could be an option and eventually the opportunity
