[10.0-pos_debt_notebook]: No way to pay debt without invoicing (in the backend)

[gustavovalverde]

I haven't found a way to pay a debt without generating an additional invoice on the backend.

There should be a way to pay a debt through the partner, or through payments. This is mainly because not in all scenarios the person in the point of sale is the same receiving the payments of the debts.

Context Countries using anglo-saxong accounting, invoice each sale, so each sale made through the PoS is invoiced. When trying to pay a sale that was done thought the PoS there's no way to pay it without generating an additional invoice.

Not really understand the issue.

You can use "Manual Updates" for non-accounting changes in debt and invoices to register money transferring in accounting. What do you mean by paying debt through the payments or through the partner?

[gustavovalverde]

To reduce a debt, the company must receive a payment (money).

Right now there's no way to reduce the debt using a payment method, the only options are by using a Debt Product or the Manual Updates. But in a real life scenario, the debt is also reduced by receiving money.

@gustavovalverde @yelizariev

If I am right the debt does not reduce even after generating an invoice with debt journals. Can there be some workaround to reproduce the similar behaviour done during payment of debt from POS user interface ? Or some solution to this ? I will see if I can help in this.

Thank you.

I could find that creating an invoice with credit product (which has credit_product set to true) will reduce the debt.

The idea would be that payment journals (cash, bank) actually do the same as the credit product and reduce the debt.
