Comment 4 for bug 388145

To answer the question, from which country are you is The Netherlands. We use the same kind of accounting rules as Belgium has.

I agree that when "miss-using" the fields in product-categories, this flow for step 1 and 2 can be configured for the normal purchase flow, but then returning goods will definitely go wrong. So miss-using these fields is no option.

Please can you give me an explanation in the case step 1 and 2 are finished.
The goods are in house and payed. I should have left on my open balance only 2 values;
3000 (stock) = 10 debit <--> 1000 cash account = 10 credit

But OpenERP generates 4 values on my balans:
3000 (stock) = 10 debit <--> 2800 Stock input = 10 credit
7000 (expence) = 10 debit <--> 1000 cash account = 10 credit

While doing the opening of the purchase invoice my expense account is already accounted!!! I' am almost sure that also in France and Belgium the expense (cost of goods sold) should be accounted at the moment of selling the goods and not at moment accepting the purchase invoice.
Currently when the goods now stay in stock for 6 months, my Gross Profit is already down, while it should not.
The only way I can see now is to name the stock input account (2800) a contra-expense account (e.g. 7001) and while doing the stock output, to reverse book this account.
Nevertheless the cost of goods sold are taken then at the wrong time! Even in France and Belgium (at stock-output instead of invoice)

Please change this bug from invalid to a valid wishlist.
