 is good a customer convenience) the same, it's non coherent then to import
 & automerge on subject.

 multiple items lines within an invoice are created on the exact same date,
 the result is correct.

 the group by clause fix on createdtime it does well.

 Addendum:
 The issue also impacts Salesorders and if my fix remedy their import as
 well, fixed invoice import still have a subsequent issue :
 2 or more salesorders named identically linked to different invoices are
 not correctly discriminated. In other words, the invoice export process
 only gives the salesorder name (and since it is allowed to have same
 soname - which is again good for me), it's not enough to bound correctly
 an invoice to its salesorder in the context of export/import.

 Obviously again, the resolution involves the salesorders createdtime as an
 additional column to its name (subject)
