Introduction
Openbravo automatically generates an accounting representation of all the transactions within the enterprise that have an economic relevance. Accounting is the system of tracking the assets, the debts, the income and the expenses of a business.
In Openbravo, most of the accounting entries are automatically created while posting documents such as:
- Goods Receipts and Purchase Invoices in the Procurement Management business area
- Goods Shipments and Sales Invoices in the Sales Management business area.
Accounting entries do not directly related to documents managed within a given application area can be created and posted in a G/L Journal. For instance a provision for stock depreciation accounting entry.
There are three ways of accounting in Openbravo:
- To manually post each document by using the process button "Post".
The process button "Post" can be found in the window used to create a given document. For instance a purchase invoice is created and therefore could be posted in the Purchase Invoice window.- This button is shown for accounting users if the Attribute "ShowAcct" is visible for them. This configuration is enabled through a Preference.
- To manually post all the documents/transactions related to a given database table for instance the table "Invoices", by using the process GL posting by DB Tables
- or to automatically post accounting transactions of any type by scheduling the "Accounting Server Process" in the Process Request window.
Accounting activities such as:
- creating and opening of the accounting periods
- entering and posting accounting transactions
- managing payables and receivables accounts as well as the asset depreciation
- reviewing and submitting financial and tax reports to the official authorities
- and closing the accounting year
are performed within the Financial Management application area.
Finally Openbravo has an integrated accounting system that combines general accounting and analytical accounting:
- General accounting aims to primary exploit dimensions such as "Account" (or "Subaccount" in Openbravo terms)
- Analytical accounting aims to exploit other dimensions such as "Cost Center" or "Campaign" to get a slightly different but also rich financial information.
In other words, Openbravo allows to post transactions to the ledger which can include different dimensions:
- Those dimensions can be centrally maintained in the Client therefore are available to all the organizations within that Client. Moreover Organizations of that Client can also have additional dimensions configured separately in its General Ledger Configuration.
Those dimensions are then available just for that Organization. - On the other hand, those dimensions can not be centrally maintained in the Client but independently maintained in the Organization's General Ledger Configuration.
This application area covers the Period End Close to Financial Report business flow and the Payables and Receivables Management business flow.
