I don't think it is a regression. It has been like that from beginning. You
can not cancell done moves, you can not erase moves at less it is on draft
mode.

So... if you make a picking done, it's not possible erasing picking. This is
a little bit extrange case because why do you need cancelling a done move? I
say... if you really sent goods to customer, it's right picking is done and
can not be cancelled.
If your picking comes back from customer you will need registering this new
entry picking. Marking it as related to first picking. This is right.

If you really are not sending goods to customer... ¿Why do you make moves
done?

By the other side:

   - It should be possible erasing Cancelled moves. Only draft AND CONFIRMED
   moves could be set to cancelled. This way, if move is not done, you could
   cancel and erase invalid moves. Today all cancelled moves are staying on
   database for ever and ever. This should be perfectly possible because
   confirmed moves are not generating accounting moves, if I'm not mistaken.
   - For done moves, I think it's right generating an inverse move to
   "unmake" the made movement.

Joël: you are right when you say if I return a packing and confirm the
return, I still cannot cancel the SO
But there is a "behind door" to make possible erasing a picking with done
moves and this is, opening the move directly on move lines and erasing pack
number from the one2many field. Once all lines are "not included" on a
picking you can erase the picking and come back the order to draft status...
It's not very "pretty" but it works.

> Hi,
>
>
> I just realized that with the new check on the last version it's just
> impossible to cancel a SO when his picking has already been confirmed !!!
>
> I mean, this should not appear in a normal flow, I agree, but what to do
> when you're facing this !??
>
> To reproduce :
>
> 1. Create a SO with 1 line (no matter the configuration)
> 2. Confirm it, go to the packing and confirmed it (force if necessary)
> 3. Go back to the SO, try to cancel => It says you must cancel the packing
> first !
> => Normal
> 4. Goto to the packing, you cannot cancel it, there is no button ! The
> workflow doesn't allow to cancel the "done" packing !
> => Can be normal...
> 5. Ok, so now you try to Delete this "done" packing in order to cancel your
> SO and it's not possible anymore !!! Says you cannot delete a done packing
>
> So, you cannot cancel, you cannot delete the packing... But you need one of
> those solutions to delete your SO !!
>
> We do need something here to be able to cancel the SO, whatever it is.
>
> I'll suggest to enable the workflow transition from Done to Cancel state
> into packing. Doing this, we'll be able to ensure who's doing that through
> "role" security.
