Hi Folks, We already tweeted the information so I think most of you are already aware that Camptocamp is developping financial repports using the webkit render engine.
We really took the necessary time to get reports: - Reliable (complex used cases tested), - Fast (14min for 100 000 move lines / 2143 pages) - I remind that performance is reached with no extra dedicated server - a simple webkit library added !) - and Generic (we think these reports can be used in any country and any business) Nevertheless, we also really would like to get feedback from the community. You can already download the v6 module from Openerp apps : http://apps.openerp.com/addon/6244?filter={%22order_by%22%3A+%22click_counter+desc%22%2C+%22text_search%22%3A+%22webkit%22}&page=0 We have backported this module to v5 (we will publish it soon) and we will maintain this module for future version ...unless OpenERP accept to use it as standard financial reports which would be even better of course :) So far we are done with the general ledger and the partner ledger (PL report being in fact, if you give a closer look, the equivalent of 3 reports : all partner entries, open invoices only and open invoices as of...'report date'-> see below). We plan mid-october to also add the trial balance and partner balance (with previous year comparisons) ; the aged partner balance should hopefully follow later (but not sure yet we will find the time) Here are the functionalities we have added to the GL & PL reports : *The General leder: details of all entries posted in your books sorted by account. - Correct opening balance calculation : even if you do not have created your opening entries yet. If you did so, system will simply uses your opening entries amounts otherwise it will be calculated backwards until the last opening entries posted. (it remains important to post opening entries if you do not want to loose performance but with few data it is not mandatory anymore) - Filter by account in the wizard (no need to go to the Chart of account to do this anymore) or by view account (the report will display all regular children account) ie: you can select all P&L accounts. - Thanks to a new checkbox in account form, you will have possibility to centralize any accounts you like. ie: you do not want to see all entries posted under the account ‘VAT on sales’ ; you will only see aggregated amounts by periods. This option can save hundreds of useless pages ! - The report will now print only account' with movements OR with a balance not null'. No more endless report with accounts with no data. (the field: display account is hidden in the wizard). This mean that even with a long/unclean chart of account, you see still have a sexy report with only usefull data (...as 'sexy' a financial report can be of course) - Reports now show cumulative balances - You can filter, for exemple from the 02/2011 to 06/2011 with an opening balance that will includes not only previous years data but also data from begining of fiscal year until the period start of your filter ; so you will always match with your trial balance. - User name added on foot page (+ date, time, page of course) - Counterpart account displayed for each transaction (3 accounts max.) to ease searching. - Better ergonomy on the wizard: important information at the top, filters in the middle, options at the bottom, more specific filtering on a different tab. No more unique wizard layout for all financial reports (ie: we have removed the journal tab useless for the GL report) - And an improved style *The partner ledger: details of entries relative to payable & receivable accounts posted in your books sorted by account and partner. - Filter by partner now possible (eventually!) - Possibility to print 'unreconcilied transactions only' *at any date in the past* (thanks to the brand-new field: last_rec_date which calculated the last move line reconciled date). No more pain to get open invoices at the last closing date. - Now you can see accounts then Partner with subtotals for each account allowing you to check you data with trial balance and partner balance for instance & accounts are ordered the same way than in the Chart of account - period have been added (date only is uncompleted) - Reconciliation mark column added - A new date called 'report date' in the wizard gives you the possibility to print open invoices like if you were positionning yourself at a later date. ie : you can print 2011 open invoices still considered as open on the 31/03/2012. This financial tool, (which is not commonly provided with many accounting software) is usually used for the closing process (example : provision estimation on receivables). - same as GL report: The report will now print only account with movements OR with a balance not null. No more endless report with accounts with no data. (field: display account is hidden) - same as GL report: opening balance is fully calculated ; no need to generate opening entry anymore - same as GL report: Reports now show cumulative balances - same as GL report: You can filter, for exemple from the 02/2011 to 06/2011 with an opening balance that will includes not only previous years data but also data from begining of fiscal year until the period start of your filter ; so you will always match with your trial balance. - same as GL report: User name added on foot page (+ date, time, page of course) - same as GL report: Better ergonomy on the wizard: - And an improved style We also kept all good functionnalities of current RML reports. Please test this module, it will have no impact on existing reports you will simply see 2 extra reports called 'webkit General ledger' and webkit 'Partner ledger'.
