Michafn, I will give a look on the url you posted. Thank you. I am still looking for a solution for this since in our country we really need accounts of view type, not just because customers wants this accounts but mainnly for legal purposes. Thank you once again

Michafn, the url you sent is the standard odoo v9 enterprise process for new reporting. It does not represent any account of view type there.

well that is correct, but there might be a chance to use this logic to show an account hierachy. But I agree this is not exactly what we need and not a good solution either. If this feature is not availble anymore, this might become a show stopper for us to use odoo 9. It would be very helpful if someone from odoo could drop a statement here. They seem not to be quite responsive unless selling partnerships or enterprise plans, unfortunately.

https://odoo-community.org/groups/contributors-15/contributors-27018?mode=thread . it seems that this is indeed a gap in odoo 9 and the view type in the chart of accounts has been removed on some weird purpose

I've read many of the links provided here and elsewhere, including Odoo Community Association's accounting gap analysis document, Fabian P.'s responses to why hierarchical charts of accounts add unnecessary complexity and more. I have not found a practical illustration from start to finish: Start: Create a simplified chart of accounts. Include, for example, two or more expense categories. Finish: Show a view or report consolidating the expenses in each category, then show the consolidation of all expenses. Alternately: Explain the 'Odoo v9' way to summarize journal entries. Is this some sort of tags we haven't found yet?

Dear Kevin. Hope not. It does not make any sense to use most of chart of accounts without a way to organize them. It's a basic accounting practice and this is done woth accounts of view type. Perhaps the tags solution you provided is an additional option, but anyway, let's wait to see if someone has another solution/explanation for this issue. Anyway, thank you very much.

I agree less that ideal - I can see why they have done as ties in to the new financial reporting structure. But most of my client use the view accounts. Plus not sure now how you can do group accounting with no consolidation accounts

https://www.odoo.com/apps/modules/9.0/gts_coa_hierarchy_v9/ is not community base app.

If V9/10 do not provide a way to view and modify the type of COA then, should We stay on version 8?, what do you all think?.

I hope that on V11 things come back as on V8.
