Financial Reports
Comparison Formatting
Introduction:
For some strange reason, the format of the financial report comparison column figures is not included in the template producing all kinds of spurious figures when trying to produce a valid Balance Sheet or Profit and Loss statement. The monetary sign is also missing. Fortunately this is easily corrected. So far, this problem has been found in Odoo 10, 11 CE editions. The solution below is a manual fix and any upgrade of the source code will overwrite this change.
Problem Example
You notice a rounding error and formatting errors in the comparison column together with no currently symbol.
Solution
The solution is to edit the report_financial view.
From Settings enable/activate the Developer Mode
From the Now available Technical Menu, Select User Interface | Views
Filter on report_financial
Have or create a backup of this view
Select and Edit the View
Typically line 98 will have the formatting for the current period column. Line 99 is the line to update.
Change line 99 to the same formatting options as line 98
The text to add is as follows.
t-options="{'widget': 'monetary', 'display_currency': res_company.currency_id}"
Ensure your syntax is correct and save the view.
Test your change by running a Balance Sheet or Profit & Loss statement with comparison enabled.
