After a huge research on that topic I found very useful information about it, but still having doubts about what will be the effect if I try to change the GlAccountClass hierarchy.
This topic (http://osdir.com/ml/user.ofbiz.apache.org/2009-07/msg00484.html) describes very well the difference between them so in short my conclusions are: GlAccountType: It is used to map GlAccounts for automatic posts purposes on the GL. GlAccountClass: It is basically used for reporting purposes. (Please correct me if my assumptions are wrong) I've spent few hours reviewing the code seeking for the impact of doing this. I believe that other companies/projects based in Ofbiz have had to do it in some way in order to adapt it to their corresponding accountancy models. I really appreciate if someone can share a similar experience about this task. On the other hand, I think GlAccountType is harder to redefine. The reason that makes me think so is because needs recheck every service where an automatic post is involved and in some cases changing the whole implementation. BTW I believe (not sure at all) it's reusable using the OOTB values, at least in my case. TIA * * -- ----- Jonatan Soto
