Trying to configure tryton for UK accounts

[dave (David Harper)]

Hi Eamonn,

Welcome.

Even though I’m still working on the account_uk module, you should hopefully find that it is okay to use.

@splegla

How do I get the latest version and install it on my venv (using pipenv).

The module can be found on the codereview site: https://codereview.tryton.org/287741002/

You can create the source package by downloading the latest raw patchset from the link above, and then use patch on it to create the module. You should then update the version in the tryton.cfg file to match the version of trytond that you are running. Once you have done this you can then create the package using python and the setup.py file. You should be able to do this by doing this:

$ curl https://codereview.tryton.org/download/issue287741002_327131002.diff | patch -f -p1
$ cd modules/account_uk
$ sed -i -e '/^version=/s/.*/version=5.6.0/' tryton.cfg
$ python3 setup.py sdist

You should then find the package in the dist directory.

I haven’t used pipenv before, but you might be able to install it by doing something like this?

$ pipenv install dist/trytond_account_uk-5.6.0.tar.gz

I note that the company accounts are to be used as the basis for it therefore I anticipate I will need to make adjustments, primarily in the shares/capital section in order to make it suitable for sole traders.

As the aim was to create a single UK chart of accounts, you should find that there are already accounts that cover your needs(?). However, once you have created the chart of accounts from the template you may want to deactivate some of the accounts in under the Capital and Reserves account that you do not need - specifically those with codes 32 to 35 (and their children). You may find the Account chart to choose? thread useful for this.

I know this is an old thread however it still seems relevant given that the module isn’t yet released therefore apologies if this isn’t the right etiquette here.

I know that sometimes resurrecting old threads is not the best thing to do, but as your post is on topic I think it is fine here.

If you have any problems getting it working let me know. Also I would be very interested to hear any comments you have about the account_uk module. I’m especially interested in feedback about the structure of the accounts and about any accounts that you think are incorrect, missing, or in the wrong place. Also any other information which can help improve it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
