This line isn't easily drawn. Initially opentaps financials was just an add-on
to OFBiz, but these days they are working on replacing functionality in OFBiz
accounting, so the functional areas overlap quite a bit.
In general OFBiz has all of the data model, low level posting services, etc but
we don't yet have automated posting services or financial reports and those are
the big gaps that opentaps fills.

Speaking of OpenTaps, can you provide some clarification on where the
line is drawn between OFBiz functionality and the OpenTaps Financials
module?
For example, does OFBiz take transactions all the way to posting to the
GL? If so, is OpenTaps really just enhanced functionality and reporting?
I'm trying to understand when it makes sense to pull in that module or
just use OFBiz OOTB.

Hmmm... if you are actually using any of these things it must be with
the opentaps financials module or something as these aren't actually
built into OFBiz.
There are some efforts coming to build all of this out in OFBiz
itself, but that is really not close to done yet.
If you are using opentaps, the opentaps forums/lists/whatever might
yield more helpful information.
Good luck!

Ok, thanks for your note, but I would like ofbiz to POST to a specific
account, not to get the report (which is working fine by the way).
The second one is not working for me, but I don't know if there's
another thing to set up plus the parent-child relationship.
Thanks anyway.

Just a quick note: those both sound like things you could do after
the fact in the reports and such that you write. In fact, the second
one is already implied and part of what OFBiz does.

Hi everybody
I am setting up my own GL Chart of accounts with Spanish model and
it's
working quite good (thanks to documentation!) except for the nightmare
of converting the defaults and accountTypes to its Spanish GL
equivalent :-(
Anyway I have a couple of questions.
1- I know how to set up all receivable and payable invoices to its
default GL account but, can I set up some specific GL account for some
customers and some providers? It's very usual here, so it would be
perfect for my accountant. The idea is that all invoices to (or
from) a
particular PartyID may be posted to a GL account "linked" or
associated
to that Party.
2- The second one is related to previous. If there's a parent GL
account
that has several child accounts, how can I set up the parent
balance to
be the sum of all child balances? You can figure it would be very
useful
in above case among others.
I've been looking in docs and google lucklessly :-(
Thanks in advance!
