Hi Serge, I don't believe this is related to lacking accounting skills ;-)
The (functional) reasoning why an order (I presume you're talking about a sales order) can get approved while not having been paid for lies in application of business policies and rules. These can dictate, for instance, that an order can be paid on deliver of the goods ordered, or a credit is granted by allowing to pay the invoice of the order after 30 days (payment term = 30 days net). Regarding the second aspect in your mail, the issue seems two-fold: 1. order is created with payment through a financial account, and the balance of the financial account is enough to pay for the order. This is holding enough merit to approve the order. 2. order is created with payment through a financial account, but the balance is not enough to pay for the order. In this case it should not be possible to approve the order (automatically). But there could still be merit in approving the order given the size of it compared to overall business done with the customer (the trust aspect). That the amount not being withdrawn from the financial account may be a technical issue. If you feel this is the case with ootb functionality of OFBiz, please register a ticket in our JIRA.
