Analytic Account Module

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.

Account

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

Line

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”.

Rule

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
