Bug Description
OpenErp Add-ons 6.0.3
The entries and headers in Bank & Cash are non-consistent and confusing.
Communication becomes Name, Name becomes Statement, Move becomes Number.
This lacks any logic and no one is ever to understand how this holds together.
When I enter a bank statement through Bank & Cash -> Bank Statements -> New
I enter this:
Name (on top of the form) STM002
Communication: Add liquidity
In Bank & Cash -> Bank Statements -> Journal Items I see:
Move STM002/1 (Derived from Name on top of form)
Name: Add liquidity (Discrepancy: Communication -> Name)
In Journal Entries -> Journal Items I see:
Move STM002/1
Name: Add liquidity
Journal Entries -> Journal Entries
Number STM002/1 (Discrepancy: Move -> Number)
Bank & Cash -> Bank Statements -> Form -> Journal Entries tab
Move: STM002/1
Statement: STM002 (Discrepancy: Name -> Statement)
It is also totally unclear why these two list which should provide the same information yet are so different:
Bank & Cash -> Bank Statements -> Form -> Journal Entries tab
Bank & Cash -> Journal Items
PROPOSAL:
1. In Bank & Cash -> Bank Statements -> New:
The form Name refers to the statement. So make the label Statement instead of Name. The functionality to derive Move from Statement is fine.
Reason: This form IS about a statement
Later on this statement is referred to as a Statement
2. In Bank & Cash -> Bank Statements -> New:
Replace Communication with Name.
Reason: Name is used everywhere else.
Name is not used anymore, has become Statement.
3. In Bank & Cash:
Replace Move with Number
Reason: In all journal entries this action is referred with a Number
This cannot easily be changed in all Journal views, but it seems
to be local to Bank & Cash.
Number is not used anywhere else in Bank & Cash.
4. The help pop-up in the Bank & Cash -> Bank Statements -> New form:
Make the tooltip (Help Popup next to Name) proper English:
(Label Name should become Statement)
"If you enter a Statement name other than /, the Accounting Entries Number will be the statement name appended with /1, /2, /3, etc. This allows statement entries to have a reference to the bank statement they appeared on."

Hello jlinkels,
Thanks for your proposal.
We can consider 1,3 point as wishlist (We have to think on that so it can not consider for coming version 6.1), and for 2 point communication string looks correct as it can not change to Name as you suggested (may be we can replaced it by Information, Transaction description....). We will improve tooltip as per your suggestion on 4 point.
Thanks for understanding,
Mustufa
