----------------------------------------------------------

Hi all, 
I'm a former auditor, and currently work in an ERP project for a group of 
companies. I have gone through the document from Simon and totally agree with 
it. These are the standard functionalities that a standard ERP/accounting 
package should have.
Regarding general accounting reports & consolidation, point 2.11 and 2.15, 
which I have been testing, my first opinion is the calculation (adding up GL 
accounts' balance to individual report and consolidated report) works well. 
However, the interface and format of reports definitely need improvement as per 
described in the doc.
Hope to see the community have more issues from this doc solved in the near 
future.

> We have the possibility here to be able to introduce Apache OFBiz accounting 
> in a large multi company organization. This organization is evaluating the 
> several alternatives and after evaluation of OFBiz, came up with a function 
> which OFBiz needs to have, in order to be considered.
> The user story:
> Although OFBiz accounting has the 'costcenter' function, it is not 
> fine-grained enough, we need to be able to segment the ledger to a lower 
> level that the GL accounts namely to the accounting transaction.. Further, 
> all existing reports should have the facility to be able to select a segment 
> of the ledger for either costing, profit or other purposes like special 
> projects.
> The proposed user interface.
> We need at least at the order item level the ability to specify a 
> parent-segment/segment and a percentage, if the percentange is not 100% the 
> remainder to 100% should be assigned to another segment.
> These segments can be defined and assigned by the user to the order item upon 
> entry. When the related invoice is created the segment(s) will be copied and 
> can overridden before posting when these segment names will be copied to the 
> accounting transaction.
> The proposed user reporting.
> All existing ledger reports will have the additional ability to select these 
> segments and will only incorporate accounting transactions where this segment 
> is specified.
> The proposed technical implementation.
> 1. add a new entity called LedgerSegment with fields: ledgerSegmentId, 
> parentSegmentId, description
> 2. add another 3 similar entities: OrderItemSegment, InvoiceItemSegment, 
> AcctTransSegment to make the relation to the LedgerSegment entity and to 
> specify the percentage.
> 3. Change the order, invoice, accounting transaction screens and ledger 
> report entity views to be able to use the segment names when available in the 
> LedgerSegment entity
> As i said , please let me know what you think, this is a great opportunity 
> for OFBiz accounting.
