Description Martin Renvoize 2019-03-14 11:13:48 UTC
Currently the accountlines.accounttype field is used to denote both the 'type' of a credit or debit and often mixes in it's 'state'. This is bad design and leads to superflous 'types' in reality.

Examples:
* 'FU' (fine "updating") becomes 'F' (fine) once it's 'fixed'.
* 'FU' (fine "updating") may become 'FFOR' (fine "forgiven").
* 'L' (lost item) may become 'LR' (lost returned).
* 'Rep' (replaced?) may become 'LR' (lost returned).
* 'W' (writeoff) may become 'LR' (lost returned).


These type+state mixes can lead to confusion in both code and end user facing messages.

As bug 22511 also highlights.. this state mixing is also present for all the 'credit' types as they can go from any type to 'VOID'
