Hi Frederic,

We are working on new code to enable bringing in open invoices/credit
memos upon initial import. Our use case is "how to properly bring in
all open invoices/credit memos" in the right state that were opened in
another ERP system prior to conversion to OpenERP.

We will publish this code as soon as it is done.

On the exchange rate - when initial opening entries are made -
wouldn't the exchange rate already be factored in. When we import the
open invoices we are bringing them in with their original date and all
their details. Including the original period in which they were first
loaded. Wouldn't the exchange rate only become an issue when the
Payment is made??
We don't have to deal with exchange rate very much in the US - which
is why I ask.

Dave
