The account kind has nothing to do with the balance sheet, it is a technical field used by Tryton to allow to filter some accounts. Normally, the tax accounts are not set with the kind payable but with the kind other. The kind payable/receivable are especially used for account that register a debt to a party. -- Cédric Krier - B2CK SPRL Email/Jabber: [email protected] Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
