Re: What financial reports for the OpenERP community ?

 

Wow, I have come to realize that this theme was delayed by me that much,

Hello Dear, Joel,

then we are in common ground

let's work together in a new branch, let it account-financial-report/trunk
or 8.0

Lets create a blueprint with the Wishlist and the problems we have to
overcome.

That way beginning with a fresh start.

It is always wonderful work on community,

Best Regards.
