I have completely installed the system according to the instructions (version 7.6.0 as dev), selected company + chart of accounts + number ranges + fiscal year. When I now enter a booking via “Account Moves” I can set the document to “post” status without debit == credit — I am more than confused. Is there an explanation for this? Shouldn’t there be an error message? ---

There is an [error message](https://foss.heptapod.net/tryton/tryton/-/blob/78632c9aa00ffb6abdfec5c7bc789a9a1a666e11/modules/account/move.py#L493) which is triggered when posting the move. Could you share the steps you used to post an unbalanced move? ---

What is the setup of the currency? Especially the rounding and digits. ---

rounding factor: 0.01 and digits: 2 … I entered the currency; I believe the values were pre-set. ---

Are you using SQLite as backend? ---

Yes, it is a test installation according to [Setup — Tryton server](https://docs.tryton.org/7.0/server/tutorial/module/setup.html#) ---

SQLite is not a backend for production. The SQL implementation is missing important features. I suspect that the balance check which is done using a SQL query using Round function has weird behavior due to the lack of typing of SQLite. Please try with PostgreSQL as backend. ---

OK—thanks—when I press the post button: **To post move “None”, you must balance all its lines debits and credits.** ---
