I really appreciate the work of Dhariwal, but for the Anglo-Saxon accounting countries this will not work. We still miss the interim accounts and the "cost of goods sold" that are taken at the moment the sales invoice is activated!

And that's exactly the difference between the Anglo-Saxon accounting countries and the Normandy (also called Rhine or Continental) accounting countries. (Cost of Goods Sold versus Cost of Sales and the moment they are taken)
See for some background info http://www.megaessays.com/viewpaper/6498.html

Resulting that I can not accept his proposition for this specific bugreport.
Also I have my concerns with "may be pass it to the accounting guys..." as far as it concerns the Anglo Saxon accounting system. Is there a member available that does know the differences?

But for the proposition from dhariwal for the Normandy (Rhine or Continental) accounting system there are interesting added functionalities proposed that could give OpenERP added value, that could benefit also the Anglo-Saxon accounting systems.

Hope you can understand my answer.
