Thank you for working on this Jacopo. Would it be possible to get some
basic design information on the wiki?

Hi all,
I apologize for the big commit but it was difficult to split it up into smaller
chunks; the commit log should explain pretty well what I did and why; these
changes were really required to improve the OFBiz GL foundations. Please review
and report any issues you may find and I will fix them asap and of course feel
free to ask for more details. I also decided to backport it to the 13.07 branch
because it doesn't have any release and because it fixes some issues that
should not be published in a new major release.
Thanks,
Jacopo

New Revision: 1530273
URL: http://svn.apache.org/r1530273
Log:
A pretty important refactoring of some GL data and code that fixes a series of
long standing gaps, errors and design issues affecting account balances and the
closure of fiscal periods (some of them introduced by me when I initially wrote
the first version of these business logics; at that time I didn't have a clear
and deep enough understanding of these accounting rules sigh…).
This new version is cleaner (less code, less redundancy of information),
correct and it also resolves some pretty relevant issues (including some db
deadlock errors) affecting performance in instances with medium/high number of
GL postings.
Here is a list of changes introduced in this commit:
* removed the postedBalance field from GlAccount and GlAccountOrganization:
this was a wrong design; the field in GlAccount was not used by the
applications; the field in GlAccountOrganization was used but not consistently
* added openingBalance field to GlAccountHistory: now this entity has full
information about an account in a financial period after the period closed
(opening and ending balance, posted debits and credits); now the endingBalance
is computed correctly both for Debits and Credits accounts
* updated demo data for the data model changes mentioned above
* the business logic to compute the account balances is now implemented in a
service (computeGlAccountBalanceForTimePeriod) and reused consistently
* removed several FIXME/TODO comments now that the new code addresses the
related gaps and issues
* removed some old, incorrect or no more used artifacts:
getGlAcctgOrgWithPostedBalanceSplit (service), getNetBalance (utily methods)
* refactored the TrialBalanceReport and GlAccountTrialBalance reports and
related pdf versions: the new versions have cleaner code and show the correct
balances both for debits and credits
* fixed a series of Groovy compilation issues due to missing imports
