Hi

As I understand it (I'm quite new to OpenERP) the prefered way of settling an invoice is to create a bank statement, listing the payments in (+) and out (-) and then reconciling using the rightmost column of the statement line. I was unable to make reconcile work in the web client, but pressing F1 in the GTK client worked fine. But when I tried to submit the statement I got the message that the account was not set to be reconciled. The message didn't say which account that was, I tried to check the "Reconcile" checkbox of every account I could think of, but still got the message. So I added the account_id to the message output and updated the accounts it showed (checked the checkbox). But it continuously popped up with new accounts, none of which had anything at all to do with what I was doing. In the end I just set the reconcile property (using postgres) on every account, and then it worked.

1. Why does it need the reconcile property (in the account_account table) to be set for so many accounts?
2. Why can't every account be set to be reconcilable?

I use the Norwegian chart of accounts and OpenERP 5.0.7.
