Hi Bogdan,

As Fabrice (fhe) mentioned this is on the radar for being resolved.
This has been an issue for US accounting as well as we display some
accounts as negative in the balance sheet reports and on the actual
on-screen chart of accounts for accounts in assets, liabilities,
equity, income and expense. We see this in almost all areas of a
balance sheet for the contra accounts:  Accumulated Depreciation,
Sales Discounts, Purchase Discounts, Distributions in Equity, etc.

My understanding is this would be resolved officially when 6.0.2 is
released.

Title:
  account/Balance Sheet Report: accounts should show negative balances
  in case of credit asset or debit liability

Status in OpenERP Modules (addons):
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hi,

  in 6.0 and in trunk, when the balance sheet report is printed out, it
  is impossible to point out asset accounts with a negative balance or a
  liabilities with a positive balance. Consider the following situation:
  an asset (say, a bank account) which happens to have a negative
  balance does not show up with a negative sum. Therefore, it looks to
  the employee as if the bank account has a positive balance. There are
  a number of other scenarios in which this problem occurs, such as a
  VAT return in case of a net loss.

  Note that the end sum of the balance sheet is correct, but if you add
  up all the numbers manually you end up with a different and wrong
  number (the amounts are simply run through abs() in the RML).

  Regards,
  Stefan.
