Yes I think this is a way to go until the wizard is adapted. The "special" period might also have another use for merging and splitting companies. So in the long run we need * special_open and special_close to handle the fiscal year issues * special to allow to include/exclude certain periods holding data from mergers and split other way to go is to use special journals for this and to include/exclude these - which seems to be more flexible, but also needs an extension of the printing wizard(s) @Joël - as you are concerned about the reports please comment see also stable_5.0-extra-addons/account_financial_report and the suggested patches in this thread. -- Best Regards ChriCar Beteiligungs- und Beratungs- GmbH http://www.chricar.at/ChriCar/index.html Dr. Ferdinand Gassauer Official Tiny Partner _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-expert-accounting Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-expert-accounting More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
