quicken home and business?

Hi Jonatan,
I admit I thought this was much easier when I started with a mapping last
year.
My basic understanding is just as yours, however, I have no proven case with
that yet. As my first project is just going hot live these days, I need to
wating for some figures before fully trusting what I did and meanwhile
keeping parallel books :-/ (you can't do that with a 10+ Txn per day shop, I
am afraid, unless you really have nothing else to do).
Kind regards
Carsten

After a huge research on that topic I found very useful information about
it, but still having doubts about what will be the effect if I try to
change
the GlAccountClass hierarchy.
This topic (
http://osdir.com/ml/user.ofbiz.apache.org/2009-07/msg00484.html)
describes
very well the difference between them so in short my conclusions are:
GlAccountType: It is used to map GlAccounts for automatic posts purposes
on
the GL.
GlAccountClass: It is basically used for reporting purposes.
(Please correct me if my assumptions are wrong)
I've spent few hours reviewing the code seeking for the impact of doing
this. I believe that other companies/projects based in Ofbiz have had to do
it in some way in order to adapt it to their corresponding accountancy
models. I really appreciate if someone can share a similar experience about
this task.
On the other hand, I think GlAccountType is harder to redefine. The reason
that makes me think so is because needs recheck every service where an
automatic post is involved and in some cases changing the whole
implementation. BTW I believe (not sure at all) it's reusable using the
OOTB
values, at least in my case.
TIA
