Invoice in status approved - cancel

[iwolf]

Hi everyone,

when I create an invoice and set it to status "INVOICE_APPROVED" it is not possible to cancel the invoice as the status change is not available. If I change the status to "INVOICE_READY" it is again possible to cancel the invoice. I would like to know the reason why the invoice cannot be cancelled in status "INVOICE_APPROVED" but can be done later.

1. Create invoice (sales invoice)
2. Set status to "INVOICE_APPROVED": available status changes: INVOICE_SEND, INVOICE_READY
3. Set status to "INVOICE_READY": available status changes: INVOICE_PAID, INVOICE_CANCELLED, INVOICE_PAIDOFF

Thanks for any information.
Best regards
Ingo

Hello Ingo,

Your point makes sense. I am not able to think about any scenario in which
current status change flow is valid. This seems a bug and you can raise a
ticket in Jira for same.

Hi Ingo,

This is an interpretation by the community of a business rule (which - of
course - can vary per organisation depending on the underlying accounting
prinicple, e.g. GAAP vs IAS vs local rules). In this case I surmise the
interpretation is to have maximum flexibility in place. With also the
perception in mind that if an individual adopter would require a specific
business rule applied he/she would have his own code base adjusted.

As such, it is not a bug.

Hello,

I created a jira "Improvement" with a patch attached OFBIZ-10189.

I guess when it comes to a business rule (OOTB) like the one addressed someone of the community should be able to explain it. Otherwise there my be space for improvment.

Thanks for your quick answers.

Best regards
Ingo
