Hi ovnicraft,
From your question it's hard to tell what your looking for but generally in
an accounting system you expect to see at the high level the five account types
that are recognized as generally accepted accounting principles. Those are
asset, liability, equity, income, expense. The OpenERP account types are not
categorized in this way which has led to some confusion for those coming from
other accounting packages.
The problem is that you don't find the standard five accounting types: asset,
liability, equity, income, expense but rather the 'types' are more like
subtypes of these groups so you had to sometimes guess where they belong in the
high level categories. I intend to use Tiny/Open with real business clients
and as such the basic types in the ERP would never do for discussions with
accountants and also with compliance with IFRS.
So I took some time and developed a module ('account_ifrs') that made certain
modifications to the OpenERP that provided IFRS account types ('accttype') and
provided the basis for allowing the software to actually perform reporting that
was IFRS compliant. Anyway, if you are interested you can find the
announcement for this module here: http://www.openerp.com/forum/topic7353.html
After some more review I will submit it to the OpenERP modules repository.
For now you can download it from my GoogleCode site listed in the announcement.
Regards,
Gerry
