Hello,

An accountant asked me if it was possible to reverse the sign of the balance 
of liabilities on reports. This looks like a standard requirement but the 
functionality seems to be missing from OpenERP. There is a sign reversal field 
on Account Types that could be used to define which accounts' balance should be 
reversed on reports but no code uses it.

My idea is to have a field like 'balance_with_sign' next to the normal 
'balance' field on account.account that would use the Account Type's setting 
for the sign. Some reports would be modified to use this field instead of the 
normal 'balance'.

What is the opinion of the experts on this list?
