Version 16.0 removed the price different account following this pull request https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/99411 This decision has been made because it was only used anymore by standard cost method and real time valuation. We thought that standard was not a valid accounting method and we didn't want to maintain code for it. But: - Standard could be valid if you manualy complete the accounting entries by yourself (e.g. employees/machines cost in mrp). - It's also accepted as legal inventory valuation if you record the difference between invoice and standard price + regular update of the standard price to match the reality - If you want to have an estimation of your cogs (benefits and loss) during an accounting period. People just do a manual correction at the end but they have a real time reporting on the situation. Since delivery/receipt interim accounts already exists we could say that user could simply reconcile them by himself. It could be but it would be a pain to know what part of the account is already invoiced and need a correction vs the part not yet invoiced. This commit remove the fix module added in 16.0 and put the fields back in purchase
