[Bug 699815] Re: v6rc2 account_bank_statement for foreign curency banks

 

Thanks Fabien,
Just to make sure we refer to the same view:
Accounting>Periodical Processing>Statements> Statements Reconciliation

Please see attached screenshot:
the transactions tree view has no mention of any foreign currency balance - it shows the  base currency value only - 42.66 is a base currency value, when we should be able to see in this view the foregin currency of HKD 258.70.

The account_move_line tree view has some restrictions as far as
modifications go - asked the question here about that -

Now when I said the computations are done in base currency, this is why I said that:
- The statement total shown is 258.68, yet it should be 258.70 whcih is the value of the payment as entered by the operator. I presumre that for computing the totals, the module uses base currency and translate it into the foreign currency at the date of the transaction, which is not right. You will have a lot of rounding problems, which is not acceptable from the accounting point of view. We, accountants demand farmacy grade precision, and if the system cant offer that, then we have a problem.

  - similar issue with this bug I reported in the accounting_voucher
described here https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-addons/+bug/699872.

I would be happy to help as much as I can with feedback to help iron
these issues out to perfection as I understand that a lot of developers
are not accountants and not many accountants have any ideas about the
database structure of the accounting systems.

Title:
  v6rc2 account_bank_statement for foreign curency banks

Status in OpenObject Addons Modules:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Probably this is not a bug, but something that has not been
  implemented yet and I just would like to confirm either this will be
  done for the v6 release or not.

  Currently the statement reconciliation does ignore the foreign curency
  bank balances for foreign banks and does all the computations in the
  base company curency instead.

  Example:
  base curency - EUR
  Bank and bank journal curency - GBP

  The bank reconciliation screen for this bank journal should present
  the entries and totals in GBP, not in EUR. EUR could be presented
  optionally for if you like to implement the additional feature of the
  monthly bank revaluation, yet this operation is normally done via a
  different module/screen.

  This is the corect logic of all the other accounting systems that I
  came accross to date.
