r4 Posted Balances not showing is chart of accounts

[snowch]

Steps I have taken:

- install ofbiz, load seed data
- imported the demo chart of accounts
- assigned two of the accounts to company (e.g. GL Account IDs 121100 and 111100)
- created a manual journal entry using these accounts
- manually posted the transactions

In "List GL Organization", the amount from the above transaction is shown as being posted to each account - 121100 and 111100.  However, the Chart of Accounts does not show a posted balance against the accounts.

[David E. Jones-2]

The accounting functionality in the release4.0 branch is only  
partially implemented. The people who took over that effort did so in  
a forked project (opentaps), and fortunately in the last 2.5 years  
others in the OFBiz contributor community have done an excellent job  
of completing that implementation (in many ways that are superior,  
IMO, to what is in opentaps... of course I _am_ biased).

Again, why are you investing time and effort in what could safely be  
called "ancient" code?

Hi David,

I have a client that will probably want to use accounting - however, I don't yet feel confident with 9.04.  That said, I can probably delay their use of accounting functionality.

Also there is more documentation for r4.

Many thanks,

Chris

I've just taken a look at accounting in 9.04.  I can see that a lot of the missing functionality in 4.0 has been completed.

Snowch,

In 9.04 during test the functionality, if in case you find any issue  
with any of the Accounting functionality please post it immediately I  
will try to fix it ASAP.

Thanks And Regards
