account_payment_discount_extension, patch, discussion

[Ferdinand]

Hello

version 5
source
lp:~openerp/openobject-addons/5.0-certified-addons

I just test this module as it is essential for Austrian accounting and automatic payment

the patch
* payment date recalculation
** has to defaults now - to set this date if the module is installed on a running system
** and writes them back (IMHO can never have worked)
* dramatic performance increase, we just need to look into account_move_lines of accounts which are to be reconciled

Open
* wrong security lines (and added them manualy) - fails to install

Discussion

To work correctly we need 2 dates in the wizard
* payment date of this payment order (example tomorrow)
* payment data of the next payment order (example in 7 days)

why: we have to wire the money BEFORE the invoice becomes OVERDUE (not after)

especially in bigger companies payment orders are often prepared one day before payment to allow for corrections and confirmation

all invoices due (with or without discount) have to be payed which are due before the next payment date.
this date is mssing as IMHO we select only invoices which are due before TODAY.

many accounting systems have general and per partner tolerance days which allow for individual adjustment - if the payment can be made a bit later then agreed on.
this can simulated by
deduct 2% discount if payment in is made during 14 days, and we enter 16 days for due date calculation if we believe that this will be tolerated.

BTW if we set a due/wiering_date in the EDIFACT (SEPA) data file , we can send a bunch of invoices and the bank wil pay these according to the date set

in fact the idea is, that the process of data entry is terminated with the gerneration of EDIFACT/SEPA data, which is sent to the bank and the bank pays at the correct date.

this makes a one point entry in the accountng system and the invoices can be filed.
