Hello,
In my opinion (and our accountant's as well), this is not an improvement, but rather a removed feature.
Indeed, supplier invoices are different than customer invoices in this respect.
When you enter a customer invoice, you calculate and verify the total price yourself. In the case of a supplier invoice, what the user does when entering the invoice in the system, is actually rebuilding the supplier invoice by entering all lines, setting tax codes, etc. In that situation, entering the total first and verifying at the end that all you have entered matches what the supplier meant is a desirable feature. It is easy to make mistakes when entering complex supplier invoices and it is very helpful to have the system check it for you.
I hope this can be reconsidered, as it was really a good feature. And from a useability standpoint, it was very easy to explain the feature to users, while it is quite difficult to explain why it has disappeared.
Best regards,
