I have installed the UK chart of accounts module which gives me all of the accounts and tax codes etc which is great for what we want. My plan was to get the system functioning using a minimal chart and then our accounts guys can build upon that framework. I was running through the system with our finance manager, we set up a demo company, added partners, products and tested purchase and sales workflows which was all fine until we checked the accounting effects and realised the balances were a bit strange. The main issue we have is when we purchase stock the current asset balance is £0.00 which gives an overall loss on the balance sheet. My understanding of double entry accounting is that purchased stock is an asset and therefor until it is sold the overall balance should be £0.00 and not a negative figure. I'm not really sure about how I go about configuring the accounts so that the correct accounts are credited/debited when a transaction occurs. I have an account under the 'Current Assets' account which is called 'Purchased Stock' I would like to know how to configure this account to be credited accordingly when stock is purchased. I don't mind getting my hands dirty to fix this because I'm sure a wealth of knowledge will come as a result. I just don't seem to be able to find a starting point. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your time, Alex -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=38455#38455 -------------------- m2f --------------------
