Start here

In plain words: Odoo Community records everything, but the four reports every accountant, auditor and bank asks for are Enterprise features. Financial Reports adds them: the trial balance, the general ledger, the profit and loss and the balance sheet, for any period, on posted entries or all, with a comparison, on screen, in PDF and in Excel.

The trial balance, the profit and loss compared with the previous period, and the balance sheet.

Tip: Every figure comes from your journal items, with no copy of the data. The trial balance and the balance sheet show a difference that must be zero.

What you get

Run a report

In plain words: Open Invoicing → Reporting → Financial Reports and choose a report. Choose the period and the options, then press Show the report.

The options of a trial balance: period, entries, journals, accounts.

Field	Meaning
Period (From, To)	The dates of the report. The default start is the first day of the fiscal year. The balance sheet needs only the date it is as of.
Entries	Posted entries, or all entries (drafts included, cancelled never).
Compare with	Profit and loss and balance sheet: the previous period, or the same period last year.
Journals, Accounts	Empty means all.
Hide empty accounts	Leaves out the accounts with nothing to show.

Tip: The Difference field must show zero. On the trial balance it is debits minus credits; on the balance sheet, assets minus liabilities and equity.

Trial balance

Every account with its opening balance, the debits and credits of the period and the closing balance.

Column	Meaning
Opening	The balance before the first day. For income and expense accounts, the balance since the start of the fiscal year; the results of earlier years are in the line Unallocated Earnings (previous years), so that the openings add up to zero.
Debit, Credit	The movements of the period.
Balance	Opening plus debit minus credit. A negative balance is a credit balance.

General ledger

In plain words: For each account: the opening balance, every journal item of the period with a running balance, and the totals. Limit it to some accounts or journals for a quick look; a period with more than 20,000 items must be narrowed.

The bank account in September: the opening balance, each item and the running balance.

Profit and loss

In plain words: Income, minus the cost of revenue, is the gross profit; plus other income and minus the expenses it is the net profit. Each account is listed under its section.

The third quarter compared with the second.

Balance sheet

In plain words: Assets (receivables, bank and cash, current, prepayments, non-current, fixed), liabilities (payables, credit cards, current, non-current) and equity, with the earnings of the current year and of the previous years. Total assets equal total liabilities and equity.

Print and export

In plain words: Each report has Print (PDF) and Export to Excel.

Who can use it

In plain words: Users of the accounting groups: Accounting readonly, Accountant and Adviser. The reports are created and thrown away by Odoo; nothing is kept for long.

Arabic and right to left

Limits

Limit	Detail
Company currency	The reports are in the company currency, as recorded in the journal items.
No year-end closing	The reports do not close the year. Income and expense accounts restart each fiscal year in the reports; no closing entry is needed.
One company at a time	The report of the company you choose; no consolidation.
Layout	The statements follow the account types of Odoo, not a country's legal layout.
Size	The general ledger is limited to 20,000 items; narrow the period.

For developers

In plain words: Skip this chapter if you only use the module.

report = env['taqnix.fin.report'].create({
    'report_type': 'profit_loss', 'date_from': '2026-01-01', 'date_to': '2026-09-30', 'comparison': 'year',
})
report.action_compute()
for line in report.line_ids:
    print(line.kind, line.name, line.balance, line.compare)

Troubleshooting

Problem	What to do
The Difference is not zero	On a trial balance with a journal or an account filter, a difference is expected. Otherwise look for unbalanced draft entries when you include drafts.
An account is missing	It has no movement and no balance in the period, and Hide empty accounts is on.
I do not see the menu	You need an accounting right (Readonly, Accountant or Adviser).
The general ledger refuses	More than 20,000 items: shorten the period or choose accounts or journals.
