Just as in general accounting, analytic entries must belong to an account and an analytic journal.
11
Analytic records can be distinguished from general records by the following characteristics:
13
* they're not necessarily legal accounting documents,
15
* they don't necessarily belong to an existing accounting period,
17
* they're managed according to their date and not an accounting period,
19
* they don't generate both a debit and a credit entry, but a positive amount (income) or a negative

*Analytic account records for a customer project*
30
The figure :ref:`fig-accanmv` represents the entries on an analytic account for a customer project.
34
* the service costs for staff working on the project,
36
* the costs for reimbursing the expenses of a return journey to the customer,
38
* purchases of goods that have been delivered to the customer,
40
* sales for recharging these costs.
45
Analytic accounting is totally integrated with the other Open ERP modules, so you never have to re-
46
enter the records. They're automatically generated by the following operations:
48
* confirmation of an invoice generates analytic entries for sales or purchases connected to the
49
account shown in the invoice line,
51
* the entry of a service generates an analytic entry for the cost of this service to the given
54
* the manufacture of a product generates an entry for the manufacturing cost of each operation in
57
Other documents linked to one of these three operations produce analytic records indirectly. For
58
example, when you're entering a customer sales order you can link it to the customer's analytic
59
account. When you're managing by case or project, mark the project with that order. This order will
60
then generate a customer invoice, which will be linked to the analytic account. When the invoice is
61
validated it will automatically create general and analytic accounting records for the corresponding
64
Expense receipts from an employee can be linked to an analytic account for reimbursement. When a
65
receipt is approved by the company, a purchase invoice is created. This invoice represents a debit
66
on the company in favor of the employee. Each line of the purchase invoice is then linked to an
67
analytic account which automatically allocates the costs for that receipt to the corresponding
70
To visualize the general entries following these different actions you can use one of the following
73
#. To see all of the entries, :menuselection:`Financial Management --> Entries Encoding --> Analytic Entries
74
--> Entries Encoding by Line` and then click :guilabel:`Open Entries`,
76
#. To see the entries per account, click the :guilabel:`Analytic Account` field of any of the lines
77
of Analytic Entries to see the details of that entry, then use the analytic :guilabel:`Account name` to
78
start a search of all entries with that name (just click the :guilabel:`Date` hyperlink on a line in the web
79
client, or double-click the line in the GTK client).
81
#. To see all of the entries by Journal, :menuselection:`Financial Management --> Entries Encoding -->
82
Analytic Entries --> Analytic Entries by Journal` and then click on one of the journal names.
87
Even though most analytic entries are produced automatically by the other Open ERP documents it's
88
sometimes necessary to make manual record entries. It's usually needed for certain analytic
89
operations that have no counterpart in the general accounts.
91
To make manual record entries, use the menu :menuselection:`Financial Management --> Entries Encoding-->
92
Analytic Entries --> Entries Encoding by Line`.

.. note:: Analytic entries
99
To make an analytic entry, Open ERP asks you to specify a general account.
100
This is given only for information in the different cross-reports.
101
It won't create any new entries in the general accounts.
103
Select a journal and complete the different fields. Write an expense as a negative amount and income
104
as a positive amount.

.. tip:: Entering a date
111
To enter a date in the editable list you can use the calendar widget in the web client or, in the
112
GTK client, if you enter just the day of the month Open ERP automatically completes the month and
113
year when you press the tab key (Tab).
115
.. note:: Example Cost redistribution
117
One of the uses of manual data entry for analytic operations is reallocation of costs. For
118
example, if a development has been done for a given project but can be used again for another
119
project you can reallocate part of the cost to the other project.
121
In this case, make a positive entry on the first account and a negative entry for the same
122
amount on the account of the second project.
