The accounting closing in Odoo is a simple process. The objective of Odoo is to allow you to follow your activity closely and in real-time and to make your closing operations as straightforward as possible while respecting the logic of accounting principles.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!In Odoo, you don’t need to make a transaction to close the income statement. The reports are calculated automatically.
For the balance sheet accounts, the initial balance corresponds to the sum of all transactions recorded in previous years since there is no carry forward (Closing balance sheet before distribution).
The income statement corresponds directly to the dates of your report.
The balance of the account (the balance sheet) only includes the transactions that took place during the year. The initial balance is always zero.
