Invoice status to Paid without actual paymet

[Emad Radwan <er...@gmail.com>]

Hello Community,

Creating a sales order with COD payment method, then fully completing the
order till shipping. Now we have a payment with 'not paid' status and an
invoice with 'ready' status. Ofbiz allows moving the invoice to 'paid'
status while the payment still in 'not paid' status which means no money
received yet; how is this possible?

Regards,
Emad

Hello Pierre,

Thanks for replying. The question was not to criticize anything or anyone.
As I'm not a professional accountant sometimes - like this situation - I
feel that there's something odd and what I only need is a reply like your
to remind that this is an open code and we need to customize to fit our
needs. In other situations, I receive answers that highlight areas that I
didn't encounter before.

Regards,
Emad
