Description Fabien COELHO 2002-12-27 15:17:06 UTC 
about version 1.7.6

the balance sheet is not balanced, as actual profits or losses
on commodities are not included (also virtual profits and losses
ARE included).

Last time I said that, I was told that I had to include them
as revenues or expenses. Fine, but I do not know how to do it cleanly,
and I have not found how to do it in the documentation.

My humble opinion is that a balance sheet computed with ALL accounts
selected should always be balanced. If I had a revenue or loss, I
don't know where to peak the money from...

Please note that I put the bug in the "Documentation" category.

My question is, if the "balance sheet" is unbalanced because I'm
a poor accountant who does not know how to put things correctly,
well I'm ready to learn how I can do that correctly!
