Yes understand. But is'nt it for now a worse usability? Having on 
sale and purchase 'a popup that says "one of your many lines miss an
account".'. It is a complete different business domain than accounting.
On sale/purchase you can not even set an account (not that I would like
to have this possibility...).

It is a draft invoice line, of course.

A salesman usually does not know which taxes and accounts are used.
Sometimes he can not know. On purchase the same. A buyer can not
determine correctly taxes and accounts before he has the supplier
invoice in his hands.

Finally it is always the accountant who is responsible to check
draft invoices for the correct accounts before opening the invoice.
And an accountant should know what to do, when the exception 
"one of your many lines miss an account" pops up.


Regards Udo
