Hi Bogdan,
OpenERP definitely generate an opening entry generating balances brought
forward... and logically it has to be posted on the on the new fy 1st day.
What is a bit confusing in the way openERP manage it, is that the
closing entry is included in this opening entry.
In theory we should have, one entry balancing all P&L accounts to the
P&L account (2990 in CH - through '9xxx accounts' if you like ) AND a
2nd step bring the balance forward to the new fy. But with the OpenERP
CoA and financial reports...the first entry is useless because, when you
check previous years financials in CoA, you don't want to see the
figures after closing otherwise you see no figures in P&L
accounts...hope this is clear
