<h2>Accounting with Operating Units</h2>
<p>This module allows a company to manage the accounting based on Operating
Units (OU's).</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The financial reports (Trial Balance, P&L, Balance Sheet), allow to report
the balances of one or more OU's.</li>
<li>If a company wishes to report Balance Sheet and P&L accounts based on
OU's, they should indicate at company level that the OU's are
self-balanced, and the corresponding Inter-Operating Unit clearing account.
The Chart of Accounts will always be balanced, for each Operating Unit.</li>
<li>A company considering Operating Unit as applicable to report only profits
and losses will not need to set the OU's as self-balanced.</li>
<li>The self-balancing of Operating Unit is ensured at the time of posting a
journal entry. In case that the journal involves posting of items in
separate Operating Units, new journal items will be created, using the
Inter-Operating Unit clearing account, to ensure that each OU is going to
be self-balanced for that journal entry.</li>
<li>Adds the Operating Unit (OU) to the invoice. A user can choose what OU to
create the invoice for.</li>
<li>Adds the Operating Unit (OU) to payments and payment methods. The operating
unit of a payment will be that of the payment method chosen.</li>
<li>Implements security rules at OU level to invoices, payments and journal
items.</li>
</ul>

<a name="configuration"></a>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<p>If your company is required to generate a balanced balance sheet by
Operating Unit you can specify at company level that Operating Units should
be self-balanced, and then indicate a self-balancing clearing account.</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p class="first">Create an account "Inter-OU Clearing". It is a balance sheet account.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Go to <em>Settings / Companies / Configuration</em> and Set the "Operating Units
are self-balanced" checkbox.</p>
<p>Then set the "Inter-OU Clearing" account in "Inter-Operating Unit
clearing account" field.</p>
</li>

each Payment Method (journals of type cash or bank), the Operating Unit
that will be used in payments.</p>
</li>

<h3>Usage</h3>

<li><p class="first">Add the Operating Unit to invoices.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Report invoices by Operating Unit in <em>Accounting / Reporting</em>
<em>Business Intelligence / Invoices</em></p>

by default adopt this Operating Unit.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Add Operating Units to the move lines.</p>
<p>If they differ across lines of the same move, and the OU's are
self-balanced, then additional move lines will be created so as to make
the move self-balanced from OU perspective.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">In the menu <em>Accounting / Reporting / PDF Reports</em>, you can indicate the
Operating Units to report on, for the <em>Trial Balance</em>, <em>Balance Sheet</em>,

<h3>Known issues / Roadmap</h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The <em>General Ledger</em>, <em>Aged Partner Balance</em> reports do not support the
filter by Operating Unit. Basically due to lack of proper hooks in the
standard methods used by these reports, to introduce the ability to filter
by Operating Unit.</li>
