I am having problems finding documentation about Accounting in OpenERP.
Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:

First and foremost, to enable import/export in OpenERP, you must check the option
[â] Allow users to import data from csv files
Under
Settings->configuration->general settings
You can do it in a lot of ways.
(1) You can export a sample chart of accounts list from OpenERP, edit them in a spreadsheet and finally Import back your completed Chart of Accounts.
To do this, go to:
Accounting Module -> Configuration -> Accounts
Check/tick a few accounts click [More] button and click Export.
(2) You can also start fresh by deleting all the accounts under
Accounting Module -> Configuration -> Accounts
and creating your the accounts one by one.
(3) I think, the most ideal way would be to create a template at
Accounting Module -> Configuration -> Templates -> Chart of Accounts Templates
You can also import and export the templates later on.
Hello. As commented below I'm looking for the method to create a COA from an installed COA template
@Abner Galeno it would be nicer to use back quotes "`" in stead of code block
Code block
[â] Allow users to import data from csv files
Back quote
[â] Allow users to import data from csv files
Thanks for the tip :)
Well I have a different problem though. Is it possible to export a configured chart of account from one data base to another in openerp v7.0?
Hello, I am trying to create a new chart of accounts + chart of taxes by following the instructions.
Under accounting, configuration, accounts, account - here you can add, modify, delete accounts
There are a number of default charts of account available for different countries, these will install templates in Accounting/configuration/accounts/templates and when you set up your company you can inherit your chart of accounts from one of these. For the tax reports it is essential that every line of every invoice is coded up to something, if it is not tax relevant then you must code it as zero rated or exempt as appropriate, otherwise the tax reports won't pick up the total sales and purchases correctly.
Hello I looked in Accounting/configuration/accounts/templates and I don't have any templates relating to the French COA that I wish to install. I have things like Configurable Account Chart. Where could I find this template? Thanks
This blog may get you started.

Unfortunately, it hasn't been completed yet,
I appreciate every little bit of information that you provide on your blog. I also think it is cool that you write your thought-process, as well :)
Thanks for the vote of confidence! It distresses me that that is now obsolete. I did the automation scripts for 6.0 and then discovered they're useless for 6.1, let alone 7.0. It now needs a complete re-write :-(
Hi, If you already have the template, all you have left s to activate it. Go to Settings / Accounting and select you account template.
do we need to do this?? is their any other way that if we choose the customize chart of account when installing it will automically puts the customize accounting templates??
We have the german accounting templates installed but it is only one time possible to install it. If you do not do it or are not using a very tricky module installation and configuration order then you will never again be able to do it. It seems to me that this could be a bug in OpenERP 7.

i have tried to import chart of account in v7. but i couldn't match the 'Balance' field. it says "no match found" when i try to search . any help would be appreciated
In general, before anything else try typing "l10n_", followed by your country code, into the search box of this page: http://v6apps.openerp.com/ l10n is an abbreviation of "localization" (10 letters between the l and the n) Example: "l10n _ es" lists all localization modules for Spain.
Hello. This is an answer for v6 not v7
