Dear all

What I understood is the following :
- some people want to check Date in periods (no entries with date outside of each period and of course there won't be any entries out of fiscal years)
- some people wants to enter entries out of period (bank moves at end of period may have a date out of period) but in the fiscal year (some entries can be out of period, but stay in the fiscal year...)
- some people (i/e accounting experts) want to enter entries out of fiscal year but in that case, I suggest not to be "too much out" (+ or - 1 fiscalyear)

Best regards
Cordialement

Thank you all for the feedback and Frédéric for the detailed explanation on the functional background for this constraint.

I'll consider preparing a merge proposal to make the check optional depending on a flag on the journal (Check Date in Fiscal Year, similar to the existing Check Date in Period).
May be I miss something
if "Check Date in Period" is successful  "Check Date in Fiscal Year" must be successful too !?


Best regards,

@ Robin @DP ... 

Posting invoices/expenses to a prior period is still allowed what we want to block is to do this on a previous *fiscal year*.

However, legally, you are correct there is not issue removing this constraint since this is the period which is important not the date. 

But, saying that, I do not count the number of times customers called us complaining about financial reports because they printed report by date and then by fiscal year and noticed differences.

I have also been asked many times why webkit financial reports do not compute initial balance when date filters are used... 

It is a fact : Most of OpenERP finance users are not accounting specialist. Users expect adequation between date and fiscalyear (even period sometimes). 

OpenERP is great for its flexibility but for accounting purposes most people dare to make mistake and want a work frame.

Hi experts!

In module account_constraints, there is a check that the date of the move is in the same fiscal year as the period.

Here in Belgium I meet accountants saying that, while exceptional, it is perfectly valid to enter a supplier invoice with a date in previous fiscal year while forcing the period in current fiscal year.

How would you recommend dealing with this situation? Should account_constraints be split in more granular modules implementing subsets of constraints so we can chose the one that are applicable in our regions?

Hello Stéphane,
otherwise, you could make the constraints optional, based on company or user group settings.

Regards
