General principles
Wiki Markup The general ledger of ofbiz consists out of a list of 'ledger buckets = glAccounts' with a non meaningfull ID: \[glAccountId\] and a meaningfull code \[accountCode\] and a meaningfull name \[accountName\] Initially, in the demo data, the account id and code are the same. When reorganizations are required these codes can be easily renamed without changing the glAccountId.
hierachyWiki Markup The buckets are in a
hierarchy where totals of the lower levels are added together and be shown at the higher levels, therefore every ledger bucket has a parent \[parentGlAccountId\]; with one exeption if the glaccount is a toplevel glAccount/bucket.
Wiki Markup Every glAccount has a account type id \[glAccountTypeId\] with a organization dependent second default glAccountId \[GlAccountTypeDefault.glAccountId\] to be able for the system to create the double booking. (Currently the system will do that always to "ACCOUNTS_RECEIVABLE" default glAccountTypeId for sales invoices).
- Transactions are created for several reasons like posting of invoices or payments, inventory movements and workeffort costs.
- GlAccount class is used for categorization and reporting.
