So I'm deploying OpenERP accounting, migrating from a previous 
accounting system. I'm wondering specifically what is the best way to 
import balances from open invoices from the previous year. I see two 
options:

1) create journal entries for the total open balance for each customer 
or supplier, and continue to use the old system to handle tracking when 
payments are due and such. Payments are still entered also in OpenERP, 
but against the journal entry and not any specific invoice

2) enter all the open invoices individually into OpenERP, back-dating 
them as appropriate.

I don't see why either of these wouldn't work, but I'm wondering if 
anyone has been through this and can offer any experience one way or the 
other.
