as I went through this, let me make you attentive to one possible cause:
either you have accounts that do not balance, or you have some accounts
with the wrong type in your COA, and they get into the total.

suggestion: take the difference and try to match it to some of your
writings, and see if it does not go into a transitory account. then
check the account's setting.

good luck!

Hi Bogdan,

you are spot on - I checked my accounts yesterday and it's the the net loss which gets added to assets and liabilities. I am using a German SKR04 CoA and it might be that I set the balancing account in the company details wrong. Just not sure which account it needs to be... The other odd thing is that all accounts have a ref nr, where as the net loss has the ref "net loss" so as if OpenERP itself just added it to the accounts in the end underneath the balancing account I specify.

Do you have a tip in terms of what account type etc. the balancing acct should be? ( or even which acct I need to use if you know the SKR04...at the moment it is set to "297800 Verlustvortrag vor Verwendung")

Cheers,
Frank

Hello,

It affect to the OpenERP Addons Revision number - 4562

have a look at the correct configured database (https://sites.google.com/site/mgatiny/abc_accounting.zip?attredirects=0&d=1) with the listed opening entries on this blog - http://www.mantavyagajjar.in/2011/03/want-to-setup-openerp-accounting-module.html

It display correct balance in the chart of accounts but when you look at the Balance Sheet report - https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JbY-dFNEJkI/TYYED5YFp_I/AAAAAAAAAwk/BEcOgf3c6Gc/s1600/abc_balance_sheet.jpeg

Second small problem with the report is related to the formatting, Asset side it display view type accounts in bold while Liabilities side it does not showing anything in bold.

Hi There,

Have been meaning to upload something further in regards to this bug but
couldn't find the time.

I have played around with different accounts & account types etc. and am
pretty certain, that the only issue with this calculation is that when the
final annual result in the P&L is a loss, it gets ADDED to the linked equity
account in the balance, rather than subtracted.

Hope this helps a little.

Please let me know if I can supply any further information that might be of
help to you.

Regards
Frank

Hello,

Its fixed in https://code.launchpad.net/~openerp-dev/openobject-addons/trunk-bug-722832-pso.
Rev-Id: <email address hidden>
Rev-no: 4617

It will be merged soon with Addons branch.

Thanks for reporting.

Hello All,

Corrected things for the bug:

1. problem with the report is related to the formatting, Asset side it display view type accounts in bold while Liabilities side it does not showing anything in bold. (thanks to mga)

2. at the time of loss we will subtract the amount from balance now.

3. corrected code for Net profit and Net loss with NL and NP.

Thank you,
mra

i probably fixed that bug of computation in revision 4724 (available un trunk). The proposed branch then has to be revised in order to fix only the layout and code problems.

Please Mustufa, can you handle that?

thanks,
Quentin

Frank,

you can refer Merge proposal link with bug, also download the diff/patch from it and then you can apply that patch on your branch.

Thanks,
Mustufa

HI there,

as explained in comment #9, the bug of computation has been fixed and released in revision 4724.

Nevertheless, the bug report was left open because we thought that the balance sheet report was needed enhancements in its layout and a merge proposal has been made for that (see comment #10). But lately, we took the decision not to apply the proposed branch because the report will soon be totally replaced, so in order to avoid anymore useless effort i'm closing this bug report and rejecting the merge proposal.

Thanks,
Quentin
