Package: odoo12-addon-account-operating-unit
This module allows a company to manage the accounting based on Operating
Units (OU’s).The financial reports (Trial Balance, P&L, Balance Sheet), allow to report
the balances of one or more OU’s.If a company wishes to report Balance Sheet and P&L accounts based on
OU’s, they should indicate at company level that the OU’s are
self-balanced, and the corresponding Inter-Operating Unit clearing account.
The Chart of Accounts will always be balanced, for each Operating Unit.A company considering Operating Unit as applicable to report only profits
and losses will not need to set the OU’s as self-balanced.The self-balancing of Operating Unit is ensured at the time of posting a
journal entry. In case that the journal involves posting of items in
separate Operating Units, new journal items will be created, using the
Inter-Operating Unit clearing account, to ensure that each OU is going to
be self-balanced for that journal entry.Adds the Operating Unit to the invoice. A user can choose what OU to
create the invoice for.Adds the Operating Unit to payments and payment methods. The operating
unit of a payment will be that of the payment method chosen.Implements security rules at OU level to invoices, payments and journal
items.Table of contentsConfigurationUsageKnown issues / RoadmapBug TrackerCreditsAuthorsContributorsMaintainersConfigurationIf your company is required to generate a balanced balance sheet by

by default adopt this Operating Unit.Add Operating Units to the move lines. If they differ across lines of the same move, and the OU’s are
self-balanced, then additional move lines will be created so as to make
the move self-balanced from OU perspective.In the menuAccounting / Reporting / PDF Reports, you can indicate the
Operating Units to report on, for theTrial Balance,Balance Sheet,Profit and Loss, andFinancial Reports.Known issues / RoadmapTheGeneral Ledger,Aged Partner Balancereports do not support the
filter by Operating Unit. Basically due to lack of proper hooks in the
standard methods used by these reports, to introduce the ability to filter
by Operating Unit.Trial Balance, P&L and Balance Sheet were removed from Odoo Community. Once
OCA Financial Reports are migrated to 12 we can add the Operating Unit to
those reports.Bug TrackerBugs are tracked onGitHub Issues.
