General Account in Analytic Accounting

Reference - Bug # 337350 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337350

Hi Jay,

I just have to clarify the function of the field 'General Account.' In the workcenters form, I have the fields Analytic Journal, Analytic Account and General Account.

I see that the analytic entries are being generated after I click on 'Production done.' However, I don't see these values being posted to the financial side (Financial Management --> Configuration -- > Financial Accounting).

The reason I'm asking if this is carried forward to Financial Accounting is because my Balance Sheet and Income Statement (shortcut via Chart of Accounts preview) should report 1.) A decrease in raw materials inventory after the completion of a production order; 2.) An increase in expense incurred from the production.

My assumption is that the link between the Analytic accounting entries and that of Financial Accounting is the General Account. If the General Account is functioning properly (a financial accounting entry is generated simultaneously with the analytic entries), then that should ensure that my Financial statements report the correct account balances.

Thank you.
