So, I am attempting to create journal entries to bring my 2013 opening
balances into OpenERP. So, I made a journal entry in the "Opening
Entries Journal", in "Opening Period 2013". No problem there. However,
when I try to save the second journal entry, I get this error:
ValidateError
Error occurred while validating the field(s) journal_id: You cannot
create more than one move per period on a centralized journal.
I gather this is because the "Opening Entries Journal" has the option
"Centralized Counterpart" checked. But I have no idea what this means.
What's a "counterpart" in this context? What's a "centralized journal"?
What's a "move"?
Here's how I'd expect opening balances to work, and maybe someone can
tell me how I might do it differently:
I'd expected I would make journal entries in a journal and period
designated for opening entries. Each of these entries will debit or
credit one account, and these will be balanced by an opposite debit or
credit to a special equity account I have created, "39999 - Opening
Balance Equity". When I'm done making all my entries, and all the
numbers match the 2012 closing documents, then the balance of "Opening
Balance Equity" will be zero. When I'm satisfied everything balances,
the opening balance equity account has zero balance, and the numbers
match the 2012 closing statements, I can close the opening period.
Of course, this doesn't work if I can make only one entry in the opening
journal. I'd want to make multiple entries because presently, we have a
good idea what the balances will be, but until the 2012 books are
closed, we may need to make adjustments. Yet, we have 2013 business that
needs to happen now.
