Hello

We have a customer inquiry on how to manage sub-accounts in Odoo accounting. It seems that this functionality is changed a lot between Odoo versions and the documentation is very hard to find. Does anyone have experience on this or have a location for up-to-date documentation.  

The client is used on managing the expence accounts in Compaq system in the following manner:


500 - Expences
501 - Rent expences
501.1 Rent expences, We Work
501.1.1 Rent expences, We work office space
501.1.1.1 Rent expences, we work freelance workspace rent
501.1.1.2 Rent expences, we work fixed office rent, Coyoacan
501.1.1.3 Rent expences, we work fixed office rent, Centro
501.1.2 Rent expences, We work meeting rooms
501.1.2.1 Rent expences, We work meeting rooms hour-based, Coyoacan
501.1.2.2 Rent expences, We work meetingrooms hour-based, Centro

With traditional accounting it is rather easy to roll up the expences to higher level. Therefore for example the account 501.1 shows a total sum of all expences below it whereas "501.1.1 Rent expences, We work office space" shows only its sub-accounts.

Now the question: how on earth could one do this in Odoo? How can we create accounts where the expences should be recorded and have them to be rolled up to the higher level? Does Odoo even have this functionality?
