--- Comment #14 from Martin Renvoize <martin.renvoize at ptfs-europe.com> ---
I need some guidance here.

I've attached a basic patch to resolve just the problem as described in the
title of the bug..

However, it looks like people are also very keen to remove this paidfor field
entirely (which is actually pretty simple to do at this point and would not
lose any information as we already store enough data to reconstruct it via the
accountlines).

So, as far as I can see there are two use cases for it, the first is for
display in the item moredetails view (Does it matter if an item has been paid
for, then returned and written off.. right now we remove the detail in paidfor
so we don't display anything at this point, but we could show the payment and
refund if we were so inclined)

The second use case is for reports. This one is more challenging, we can't
easily know what reports are out there in the wild so the best we can really do
is advise as to how to get the same information back via a join to the
accountlines table.

Any guidance as to what we would hope to achieve in the long run would be
greatly appreciated.
