[Erp5-dev] grouping_reference - invoices and payments - any documentation?

[Łukasz Nowak]

Hello,

I've seen that grouping_reference property might be used to associate
invoices and payments to have ability to relate them to check, eg. if
invoice is paid.

After grepping products with "egrep '[gG]rouping_?[Rr]eference'" I've
found quite...cryptic unit tests which are using this property (read
it: I see them, I'm able to read them, but (at least for now) I'm not
able to make any assumptions basing on them).

Right now I'm playing with original erp5_accounting to figure out
proper usage of grouping_reference property, but it would be fantastic
to read _anything_ about usage of this property. I wouldn't ask if
there would be any references to this property on wiki or obsolete cps
pages, but there not any...

Regards,
Luke

The idea is simply to put a 'Letter' on accounting movements that are
using receivable/payable accounts.

When he/she receive a payment for an invoice, the accountant put the
same letter on the invoice movement and on the corresponding payment
movement. It's just a way for the accountant to associate invoices with
their payments, then reports like Account Statement have an option to
show only movements without letters.
