Hi Ismael, In your specific case, what I would do is avoid even doing the adjustments, and when I need to make a sale, just sum up the cost bases in all the historical lots to obtain the average cost basis at that point and record a sale with that basis. The sum of the units, and the sum of the cost bases (signed units x cost price), should separately be correct even if the postings don't reduce each other.
I hope this helps, On Tue, Oct 24, 2017 at 6:03 PM, Ismaël Bouya < [email protected]> wrote: > In France, the taxation model when buying and selling actions is based on > mean value of the actions rather than "older first".
