Comment 2 for bug 930283

I know there will be no development or bug fixing in 6.0

However, in 6.1 it is still wrong.

The image you posted shows:

Liability -4000
Assets 4000

That is not a correct balance sheet. In a balance sheet, both Assets and Liability should be equal. Furthermore, Net Profit has to be shown as a positive amount on the Liabilities site, Net Loss as a positive amount on the Assets side. It is necessary that negative signs are displayed, but this must be according to the balance of the account, while also considering the correct side of the balance sheet.

In 6.1 the P/L is not correct either. There is also a sign problem. In 6.1 you can now select the sign for accounts on PL. However, with the same sign selected, Income is negative (incorrect), while Revenues are positive (correct). See this post in the forum: http://www.openerp.com/forum/post101286.html#p101286

With all due respect, I would recommend the OpenERP development team to pay more attention to the basic technical issues of accounting reporting, not just the programming side. Both in 6.0 it was wrong, and in 6.1 there was a lot of development, and it is still not correct. Unfortunately, while a number of others and myself have tried to point out omissions in accounting reporting, and tried to help by explaining what was wrong, issues have been ignored or denied.
