Hi Quentin,

I know you guys are busy working on finalizing items for the
community/partner days - do you have an ETA when the negative/positive
balance field on the account will hit the production/stable system. I
know you guys originally targeted 6.0.2 - but I'm not sure it made it
through your testing to be included in that release based on your
workload.

This issue is causing the users of the system here in the US to have to
manually calculate the balance sheet and P&L statements and not be able
to use the canned OpenERP reports without the negative/positive balance
fields for the reports as FHE has mentioned. Basically, they have to
export the data into Excel and then manipulate the data to show
shareholders and owners today.

We can solve it with other code - but something as fundamental as this
we need to really need to have it in the base system.

Could you advise with a quick update??

Thx.

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

Status in OpenERP Modules (addons):
  Confirmed

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.
