Chart of Accounts - outdated
----------------------------

The chart of accounts is based on the "Sterchi" chart of accounts (see `Kontenrahmen KMU Vorlage <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vc_UMKJSfisAqwZLnmoO91fXmpC6Ozwa?rtpof=true&usp=drive_fss>`_). This template and more information can be found in the folder `Chart of Accounts <https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wVr5_jJiX-xCCPRsC3vDBU2JjT8hwrEz&usp=drive_fs>`_. The Sterchi chart of accounts is a standard for Swiss small and medium sized companies, see also `Schweizer Schulkontenrahmen KMU <https://www.buchen.ch/Schweizer-Schul-Kontenrahmen-KMU-Buchhaltung-Rechnungswesen-Basis-2013.pdf>`_.

Customer - Chart of Accounts
----------------------------

The customer must be given the following accounts in the "Accounting Entries" settings:

- Account Receivable: 1100 Forderungen aus Lieferungen und Leistungen (Debitoren)

- Account Payable: 2000 Verbindlichkeiten aus Lieferungen und Leistungen (Kreditoren)

The python function :func:`odoo_xmlrpc_twisted.functions.create_user` creates the customers (= users) in the odoo system.

Odoo Database Tables - outdated
-------------------------------

A business document is a historical representation of a transaction. The general ledger is the central repository (based on double entry bookkeeping) recording those transactions so the impact on the business can be measured. For every accounting document there is a corresponding entry in the general ledger.

1. Documents:

  - account.invoice - stores invoices and refund invoices (credit notes) for customers and suppliers

  - account.invoice.line - stores the lines from an invoice

  - account.voucher - stores payments

  - account.voucher.line - stores the lines from a payment

2. Entries:

  - account.move - stores journal entries

  - account.move.line - stores the lines from a journal entry (journal items)
