Basic accounting

Question

I'm trying to use OpenERP for very basic accounting.  Make an invoice with 13% tax, and register a payment when the cheque arrives.  Later make payments to bills and have the sales tax get subtracted from tax owed to government.  Below our the issues I've had.  It's pretty tough to explain without a video so this is what I have so far: http://youtu.be/YLdkq1UtpqI

Issues:
- Starfleet invoice shows up as accounts receivable AND adds total amount twice to journal
- Treats our subspace transmission

The journal entries *view* (not to consider this view with the trial balance of accounts) is showing each posting; therefore

as a purchase or a sale are creating a double entry (debit balancing with credit)

it shows 2 lines.

Debit expense account/ credit third party account

Then payments are creating 2 other lignes

debit: third party /credit bank for suppliers or reverse for customers

When you check the Trial balance you can verify that accounts payable and accounts receivable have a zero

Thank you Ad Libitom.  This is when a non-accountant tries to use ERP software :)

I am puzzled however why this report is showing a loss when I've had sale of $328 and only one expense at $37.  The bank balance at the bottom is finally showing up as correct. That is a huge win!
