Comment 19 for bug 784339

Thanks for sending me.

Unfortunately I was not successful in running you r module. I had to make these changes in order to get the module loaded:

-> In openerp/addons/account/report/__init__.py I had to comment out:
#import account_balance_sheet
#import account_profit_loss
because the new modules would conflict with existing modules

-> openerp/addons/account_report_alt/report/account_balance_sheet.py I had to make this change:
#from openerp.addons.account_report_alt.report import account_profit_loss
import account_profit_loss
because the server complained it couldn't find openerp.addons.account_report_alt.report import account_profit_loss

Error #1 is of course related to #2, but I fail to see what is wrong with the path openerp.addons.account_report_alt.report.

Anyway, WHEN I have it up and running, I get this error:
[2012-02-17 14:18:34,408][demo] ERROR:web-services:[11]: File "/usr/share/pyshared/openerp/addons/account_report_alt/report/account_profit_loss.py", line 63, in set_context

> /usr/share/pyshared/openerp/netsvc.py(131)abortResponse()
-> raise
Which seems to me either a version problem or a wrong object class, maybe because I changed the wrong things.
I think the errors are because my lack of understanding.

However, when I look into the code of account_profit_loss.py, it seems to me that still the absolute value of the account balance is being used to calculate net profit or net loss.

In the mean time, I got some replies on my own bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930739 and in the OpenERP forum.

Unless the error is solved sooner, I would be gratefule if you could reproduce the bug in the demo version and confirm. I noticed you are from the Netherlands as well, so may it is a Dutch problem that we want to have negative balances on Expense accounts.

Just kidding, the demo database I use is English language with a generic accounting scheme.
