[account] changing fiscal position doesn't change taxes

[Joke de Buhr]

Changing the fiscal position of an invoice or sales order doesn't change the calculated taxes. Only newly added invoice/sales lines will be subjected to changed fiscal position mapping.

I'm not sure if this is the desired behavior or a bug but the documentation [1] states:

  > If you have not entered the parameters in the customer form correctly, OpenERP will suggest
  > incorrect taxes in the invoice. That is not a real issue, because you can always modify the information
  > directly in the invoice before approving it.

This suggests changing the fiscal position should affect the tax calculation of already added lines.

Hello,

When you applied the fiscal position to particular invoice It will affect the related changes only in the current invoice created move only not all existing one.
Hope this will help you.

Thanks.

Of cause it's not supposed to change all old invoices but let's say:

An invoice get's created from the sales module. The salesman entered the wrong fiscal position. The invoice is marked as draft within the account module. The accountant corrects the fiscal position field on exactly that drafted invoice.
None of the taxes of this drafted invoice get recalculated. Only if the account adds new invoice lines the new ones get translated according to the changed fiscal position.

Therefore the account needs to delete and re-add all the invoice lines by hand after changing fiscal position if he wants to change all taxes of that one draft invoice. Is this behavior the desired one?

Thanks.

For the record, the module invoice_fiscal_position_update
https://github.com/OCA/account-invoicing/blob/7.0/invoice_fiscal_position_update/__openerp__.py
should do the job
