[V 7.0] Default journal on customer invoice not taken into account from Order

[Els Van Vossel (Foxy)]

Latest version 7.0

Demo database

Install Belgian accounting.
Create manual sales invoice. Select the sales journal "Verkoopjournaal" instead of Sales Journal Test.
Set the journal Verkoopjournaal as default value for customer invoices.
Create a new manual invoice: the default journal "Verkoopjournaal" is proposed correctly.

Now create an invoice from a sales order. The default journal is not taken into account.

Please correct.

Answer Openerp :
Let me explain you how it works in OpenERP.

1: User defined defaults(unconditionally) will only be used in a model if that field is not passed explicitly to the create vals dictionary.
2: if the value of the field is passed explicitly then the user defaults nor defaults defined on the model will not be used.
3: if the value of the field is not passed explicitly but is defined on the model (_defaults) then that default value will be overridden by new user defined value.

In your case you are trying to set a default value on Journal field and when you create an invoice from the sale order at that time the default journal is explicitly passed in the parameter while creating invoice.

Hope this makes things clear !
