Contents |
Introduction
The Indian COA file is designed for a start up manufacturing entity who would be maintaining their finances in openbravo.
Once installed and applied as described here, the Indian Chart of Accounts module creates:
- an "Account Tree" which can be reviewed in the "Account Tree" window
- and it also creates a defaulted "General Ledger Configuration".
Besides, the "General Accounts" such as "Income Summary" account and the "Default" accounts such as "Customer Receivables", "Tax Due" and "Tax Credit" are also provided and properly configured within
the General Ledger configuration window.
Account Tree
To check the "Account Tree" structure, follow these steps:
1. Login as Administrator of your Client.
2. Go to Financial Management -> Accounting -> Setup -> Account Tree or just type 'Account Tree' in 'Quick Launch window'.
3. You will see the accounting structure as below:
Prefixes are used for every account tree element: "Headings", "Breakdown", "Account" and "Sub-Account" so that the classification is easy for the user to understand and follow.
Following prefixes are used:
L : Equities and Liabilities
A : Assets
R : Revenues
E : Expenses
PL: Statement of Profit and Loss
V : Profit Before Exceptional , Extra ordinary items and Tax.
999: Temporary Accounts.
Additionally, the corresponding "Subaccounts" are also provided for the Openbravo's "Defaults" account configuration within the "General Ledger Configuration" Window. See next section.
