Hi Bogdan,

you are spot on - I checked my accounts yesterday and it's the the net loss which gets added to assets and liabilities. I am using a German SKR04 CoA and it might be that I set the balancing account in the company details wrong. Just not sure which account it needs to be... The other odd thing is that all accounts have a ref nr, where as the net loss has the ref "net loss" so as if OpenERP itself just added it to the accounts in the end underneath the balancing account I specify. 

Do you have a tip in terms of what account type etc. the balancing acct should be? ( or even which acct I need to use if you know the SKR04...at the moment it is set to "297800 Verlustvortrag vor Verwendung")

Cheers,
Frank
