How to edit Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Account formats in openERP 7.0
I run openERP 7.0 on debian. I have conveniently configured the chart of account to suit a guest house the way I want it. I realized though that in the Balance Sheet reports generated by openERP, I get a format that looks something like this:
Name Balance Liability -35837.78 GH¢ Profit (Loss) to report -34283.18 GH¢
Assets 35837.78 GH¢
This is not very desirable as I require a reporting style thus:
Fixed Assets xxx Current Assets xxx Less Current Liabilities xxx Net Current Assets xxx
Capital Account Stated Capital xxx
I have done some research and found that publicus wrote a module that is quite similar to what I need but that's for version 6 or 6.1 (not sure) and I have not found anything yet on openERP v.7. Does any one know if it is possible in v7 to edit the reporting style to suit different needs and how?
Hi, Dawn. Your answer touches the topic I'm looking for. I'm trying to setup a new General Ledger according to our Country laws, but I can't get it to show me the custom report that I've created using the steps you posted earlier. Can I be missing something out?? Just for the record, I went through the accounting module, configuration, financial reports and account reports. Then I created a parent, added the children with the proper accounts setup.
