Actually not even 50, but I host FA for my customers, I am part of accountant office, so our customers just use FA so end of the month we run payroll and taxes etc...
so we have to keep all legal accounts just in case.

thanks Poncho1234,

I finally sorted out the problem, it is a server-bandwidth related problem, it appears when you have a large COA (2000+ accounts like OHADA), my solution was setting timeout to 15s restarting all services, sometimes it still does it depending on server load, just refresh and check if operation was successful.

Cheers,

Hi guys,

I am currently experiencing it in 2019 and only when i create a new item, it appears when I select category item, requests then yellow triangle.
FA 2.4.6 is remotely hosted with French COA.

Thanks,

Thank you both for the support, my question is actually technical, on how works p&l account balancing  in FA, in OHADA we do not balance it in an expense account, rather in a class 1 (capital) from P&L class accounts 7(income) and 6 (expenses and COGS) please refer to my first post on how it s calculated.

If i create a P&L account in 6 class, it will balance but when closing the fiscal year i create manual entries for margin, added value, etc...in class 1 (capital) then trial balance will not balance anymore

My issue is: can we disable in system and general setup P&L account or an option to choose later? if i don't choose an account i cannot choose bank charges account, exchange variances account, loss on asset disposal account, etc... which i think are very important. (better option for me as i don't know how it calculates P&L and can do manual entries)

Or disable P&L account validation (that is has to be an expense account).

Thanks a lot,

Even better, I have created sql for OHADA (will attach it when i reach office), but is for DR Congo and if applied to other countries it needs minor changes.

Cheers,

Thank you Apmuthu for the prompt response, i already have an OHADA COA, no problem with that, i m in trouble with system and general setup.
if i do not set P&L and retained earning accounts i cannot set other accounts ie bank charges etc...
we have P&L and retained earning accounts in ohada but they are both balance accounts, equity types,
there a warning stating retained earnings should be a balance account (check), P&L an expense account (problem)

My questions are :

how does FA calculate P&L and retained earnings?
I can calculate and make entries manually how could I bypass it if i can't really apply to our coa?
how can i integrate income tax 35% on profit ,yearly?

thank you,

JG

Hello,
I am running in serious trouble for the GL setup,  checked in previous posts but do not solve the problem.

We are under OHADA accounting system (almost like french type COA). P&L and retained earnings account in our system are under "assets type" and cannot set it in the system, neither retained earning (still an asset account) as a balance account? please enlight me I do not understand (maybe my english is so bad...)

What is the rationale in FA for P&L? for retained earnings?

Our Procedure in calculating profit and loss has 9 steps:

1. Margin on goods  = income - expense +/- stock variation
2. Margin on components = income - expense +/- stock variation
3. Added value = (Margin on goods + Margin on components + extra income + grants + other income) - (stocked components and supplies purchase) - other purchases - packaging purchase +/- stock variation extra supplies - shipping - services (ie bank charges etc...) - taxes
4. surplus = added value - personnel charges
5. P&L = Surplus + extra stuff
6. financial income
7. ordinary activity income = P&L- financial income
8. extraordinary income
9.fiscal result  = ordinary activity income + extraordinary income - income tax


Now, how can I integrate it?
Even if i go manual and dont use this i cannot set the other accounts because of these two so exchange rate loss cannot be set etc...

How can be calculated income tax (35% yearly)?

Thanks,
JG
