The analytic account module adds the fundamentals required to analyse accounting using multiple different axes.
A chart of analytic accounts can be setup for each axis.
An analytic account is defined by these fields:
Name
Code
Company
Type:
- Root: define an axis
- View: sum amounts of children accounts
- Normal: store analytic lines
- Distribution: distribute linked lines between different accounts
Parent
Balance/Credit/Debit
State:
- Draft
- Opened
- Closed
Note
An analytic line defines the amount of money from a move line to be assigned to an analytic account. It contains the following fields:
- Debit/Credit
- Account
- Move Line
- Date
When the linked move is posted, an analytic state is calculated for each of the move lines. It is only valid if all the analytic axes have been completely filled. The incomplete lines can be found in the menu entry "Analytic Lines to Complete".
The module contains a rule engine that can automatically create analytic lines when the move is posted, but only if they do not already have analytic lines. The criteria for the rule engine are:
- Account
- Party
- Journal
