pandiyan 0ad0d7733b fix: use company currency instead of global default in report (backport #56561)
Reports like Sales Order Trends and Purchase Order Trends showed the global
default currency symbol instead of the transacting company's currency.

Threads the company currency through conditions["company_currency"] in
trends.get_columns and uses it for both the chart's currency and the Total
row. The chart now skips the grand-total row by its label instead of by a
falsy first periodic cell, so the already-summed Total row is not added into
the datapoints a second time.

Backport of #56561 (frappe/erpnext). Two parts of the original PR are not
included: the Landed Cost Report does not exist on this branch, and the
trends report test files do not exist either.

Accounts module contains masters and transactions to manage a traditional double entry accounting system.

Accounting heads are called "Accounts" and they can be groups in a tree like "Chart of Accounts"

Entries are:

  • Journal Entries
  • Sales Invoice (Itemised)
  • Purchase Invoice (Itemised)

All accounting entries are stored in the General Ledger

Payment Ledger

Transactions on Receivable and Payable Account types will also be stored in Payment Ledger. This is so that payment reconciliation process only requires update on this ledger.

Key Fields

Field Description
account_type Receivable/Payable
account Accounting head
party Party Name
voucher_no Voucher No
against_voucher_no Linked voucher(secondary effect)
amount can be +ve/-ve

Design

debit and credit have been replaced with account_type and amount. against_voucher_no is populated for all entries. So, outstanding amount can be calculated by summing up amount only using against_voucher_no.

Ex:

  1. Consider an invoice for ₹100 and a partial payment of ₹80 against that invoice. Payment Ledger will have following entries.
voucher_no against_voucher_no amount
SINV-01 SINV-01 100
PAY-01 SINV-01 -80
  1. Reconcile a Credit Note against an invoice using a Journal Entry

An invoice for ₹100 partially reconciled against a credit of ₹70 using a Journal Entry. Payment Ledger will have the following entries.

voucher_no against_voucher_no amount
SINV-01 SINV-01 100
CR-NOTE-01 CR-NOTE-01 -70
JE-01 CR-NOTE-01 +70
JE-01 SINV-01 -70
