Hi to all,
If I'm not mistaken, when I chose a fiscal year, first I must 'Generate Fiscal Year Opening Entries', and ...
In 'Opening Entries Journal' it's mandatory to define fields 'Default Debit Account' and 'Default Credit Account'
define it with ... '890000 - Bilan d'ouverture' a class 8 accounts, but it does not exist.
For Anglo-Saxon systems, the equivalent is 'Opening Expense Account' and 'Opening Income Account'
Why it is like that ? There may be a reason, but I not know.
I consulted a French accountant expert, his response was: don't use class 8 account !
His explanations:
1/ Class 8 accounts are not used by tax authorities control. If tax authorities control you (Audits of computerized accounting with the FEC file), this can create serious complications !
2/ To close the fiscal year, setting 'Opening Entries Journal':
'Default Debit Account' = "129000 - Résultat de l'exercice (perte)"
'Default Credit Account' = "120000 - Résultat de l'exercice (bénéfice)"
3/ At your level, forget the account class 8 ...
Well now, I understand why there is no class 8 account in the French chart of accounts!
This is unnecessary and dangerous with respect to the tax authorities.
If someone has a comment, or correct something wrong ... he should say!
Response of a French not accountant but associative activist.
Some companies are not subject to taxes: most of association.
So, for, them 8 class of account could be used, couldn't it?
