issue relate this ticket

Some of my problems arise when I use a Detail tab in my import. This may be related with "Detail tab should not update window context".

See also https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/idempiere/_hYxW9My3go/6gEi-nKCU3kJ for a bug report from Enrique and my attempt to explain it.

I tried to import an Invoice with one Invoice line in the "insert" mode. Whether it works or not depends on which kind of record was shown before (at the moment I press the "import" button). If the shown record is a closed invoice it does not work (Debugging gave me the reason because "@PRocessed@" is set to "Y"). If there is no record shown (after a search that gives no result) it does not work (Debugging gave me the reason that the mother record of the second tab is not yet saved?!?). Only if there is a not-closed Invoice shown it is possible to import a new Invoice from CSV.

It seems that the importer does not clean the Environment before starting its work.

After Importing the shown data is corrupted. The record shown can not be edited or saved and I can not change the record. I can even not refresh the view. The only possible way is to close the tab and reopen it. This is good as a workaround.
