Comment 30 for bug 551630

We have finished testing new financial reports on the 6.0. I must say that it is a big step forward.

Quick summary of what we like the most:
- Chart of account can be filtered by period
- All filters in reports works fine. On all reports, you can select periods and posted/draft entries.
- Layout printout issues have been solved
- "Initial balance" checkbox on General Ledger works perfectly (unticked by default)
- General Ledger and Trial balance are now correct
- And performance has been improved (although we have not done testings with many entries)

Now... what still does not work? Partner reports initial balance

- There is an "Initial balance" checkbox for the Partner ledger but works only for Partners with transactions during current FY. If there is no move entry during the current year, the initial balance (IB) is simply not shown (neither the partner).
- Opening entries do not appear on the report. (I must specify that the deferral method selected is "unreconciled" for creditors and debtors but does not generate opening entries split by partner ; I see only one grouped entry line with empty partner column. (see my bug report 655595)
On that point, I need clarification please : I think that the partner ledger will work only if the deferral method for debtors & creditors is "unreconciled" otherwise impossible to get initial balance for each partner - is it correct?

- Small layout problem: on partner ledger, please increase size of column "currency" - we do not want to see the currency symbol on a new line.

And a final comment, I did not test centralized and general Journal but I think both reports give exactly the same report.

I leave apart the aged partner report for the moment (we need a fixed partner ledger first)

Thanks to OpenERP team for this excellent job.

We are getting closer and closer to what we need... !
