I know what I'm talking about. I worked 2 years in a bank. First of all, in belgium asking for a statement you already received is charged by the bank. And a bank should not send you twice the same statement by default, this is very basic logici if they don't want customer complaints. Second, detect duplicates could not be generic, again it will depend on each format. I'm pretty that each standard format that exists will have a unique reference for the statement and that this statement could not contains duplicates lines. > > In Tryton, we must force users to use the right way and not trying the > > correct it afterwards. > > Welcome in the real world.

So no such check/constraint by default. -- Cédric Krier B2CK SPRL Rue de Rotterdam, 4 4000 Liège Belgium Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Email/Jabber: [email protected] Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
