    These terms are common accounting terms. Please ask an accountant or consult arbitrary accounting sources.

    I need to know their meaning from Odoo point view (their impact on other modules, fields ...etc. Example customer account display only receivable/payable account ).

    so that I can choose them properly especially for my country Moroccan accounting which is a little bit different from this (it's the case of each country)

    Hi Everybody


    I got an answer, maybe it will help some of you.

    1/ In the chart of accounts ( account.account ) we find a type of account where you should choose one of the list mentioned above.
    2/ This type is used for 3 reasons:
         * To show accounting reports in a good format (grouped by type ...etc).
         * For Restrictions (Exemple : When you want to choose an account for customer, it will show you only accounts with type "Receivable" ).
         * In Financial year closure.

    Good Luck
