Comment 13 for bug 1160835

Hi again,

i see, and swear i understand your concern, that this decision is really making a shield rise among the community. I do not say that you're wrong and that we, almighty R&D, know better than you what you need. I'm just explaining what led us to the conclusion that this feature was not really needed and implied a bunch of code that could be full of doubtful operation (what if the procurement of one line was cancelled? what if the deliver was partial? what if an advance invoice was made before? what if the sale order also implied a service line? were all these cases also taken into account?...).

But maybe we were wrong, and we are open to review our judgment. We just need to understand what is your need behind this feature. In what real business case would you invoice after the delivery _based_ on your sale order rather on what you really delivered?

Note that we also add a filter and a menuitem that gives you what was already delivered and thus should be invoiced...

Thanks for keeping a constructive discussion, guys :-)
