Erik, I looked the the "chart" view. It only lists the account and the account_headings and all of the id's. No linking was apparent. There is no monetary data shown in the view, as there is when looking at reports->COAÂ from the web interface.

Thanks for your additional analysis. It allowed me to find the cause quite quickly. I have identified the problem to be in LedgerSMB/RP.pm::&get_accounts(). The issue is in the query at line 927 which joins transactions with the id column in the 'chart' view.

If the intent of the report is to show monetary information, then providing a summation for the accounts under the heading make sense. In my case the "summation" appears to be just reflecting the amount from the account "id"Â that matches the account_heading "id".Â

ÂYea. The intent of the report is to show monetary info on each account, just to find accounts on which balances are being held. The hard part of trying to solve this issue is that I know for a fact that this code has been replaced in 1.4 already: the entire code in RP.pm has been replaced by much more robust code which looks more 2013 as well.

My idea would be to change the (INNER) join between acc_trans and chart to a LEFT or RIGHT join with an additional join restriction: the account type being 'A' (thus not being 'H').

Erik.

I have been digging around and here is what I've found.Â in every case, where an amount is shown on a "heading", the "id" from the account_heading table matches the "id" from the account table. The id for the "1000 Current Assets" is 1. The "id" for "Checking Account" is 1. The "id" for "3300 Share Capital" is 6. The "id" for "1820 Office Equipment" isÂ 6, etc.

It appears that there is a join between the "account" table and the "account_heading" table using "id" from each.

That's correct: in LedgerSMB 1.3, there's a "chart" view which does exactly what you describe. Maybe you could check that and see if it presents you with incorrect data? If that's the case, we at least know the cause.

The solution for the CoA report is probably not to use the 'chart' view, but that'd be the next step.
