I'm trying to understand our balance sheet that the accounting module produces. You'd think the profit would simply be income minus expenses. But Odoo expresses the profit as a negative number when income is greater than expenses. I'm not an accountant and I'm wondering if it's a bug in the software. Odoo 10 CE.  Income = $30,000.  Expenses = $20,000.   Profit (loss) to report = $  -10,000


PS:    How  do  I  add  an  attachment  to  this  post?

A profit must have the same sign as equity, but that is accounting 101.

Thanks Ermin. Since I don't understand what you said and I'd like to understand the output from the odoo accounting reports, I guess I need to do some adult education class for accounting.

Hi Donald

The report will show the loss as a negative amount, which will appear on the Balance Sheet to balance it.

However, you may review the (Financial Reports) menu with the Developer mode to confirm the calculation for Profit & loss and  edit  it  if  needed, because the number you mentioned should result in a Positive 10,000

Thanks Yossef. I wanted to attach files to my post to show what I'm talking about but don't see a way to do it. Any help with that?

And PS: it is not a loss. It is a profit. And so common sense (as opposed to accounting sense) says it should be a positive number.

Don't think you can attach a screenshot, I think you need to review the formula of the Net Profit on the "Profit & Loss" report from the Financial Reports menu as I mentioned above.
It should equal to (OPINC + OIN - COS - EXP - DEP) if there are any difference modify it until it's correct

Well, I don't know what OPINC, OIN, COS, EXP and DEP are. If you can explain that I might be able to begin my education and investigation. Thanks.
