Hi, There is an aspect of OpenERP which seems to not very well implemented while it is wildly spread in accounting practices: prepayment treatment. In many countries (all?), prepayment accounts have to be different from the AR/AP general account for the mere reason that they are on the other side of the BS. This behavior is at least true in China, NZ, UK, AU and probably in any anglo-saxon accounting countries. We have created a simple module for this ( https://apps.openerp.com/apps/7.0/account_prepayment) to create a separate property for AR and AP prepayments. In every implementation I have in accounting, the prepayment strategy is a problem in standard implementation that we can solve with this very simple module (my point is that this module or similar should be actually a standard module). In ecommerce sales strategy where payment is made on website, we can rely on several modules such as sale_payment_method and sale_automatic_workflow to automate the payment. Nevertheless, they rely on the AR account to create the prepayment transaction which in my opinion is not correct. NB: This could probably be even more complex as for certain payment method, account should "Uncleared Payments". I am thinking of adapting the sale_payment_method to make it dependent on the account_prepayment and add a tickbox "Use prepayment accounts" in payment method and automatic_payment method. What is your opinion/recommendation on this? --
