Technical

The Account Invoice Change module is the technical foundation for modifying invoices. It creates a wizard and permissions for making invoice changes that can be handled by other modules. This particular module implements the ability to change the Salesperson and Accounting Date fields.

There is a new Transient Model (Wizard) `account.invoice.change` with the following fields:

  • `invoice_id` Many2one field for the Invoice to be changed

  • `invocie_company_id` Many2one field related to the `invoice_id`'s company id

  • `user_id` Many2one field for the Salesperson

  • `date` Date field for the Accounting date

An action button 'Change' is added to the account invoice form view that will display the new account invoice change view for the wizard.
