Introduction of Buchungsgruppen
Prior to Lx-Office v2.4.0 the user had to chose the accounts
for each part and service.
Lx-Office 2.4.0 introduces two new concepts: tax zones and
Buchungsgruppen.
There are four tax zones.
A Buchungsgruppe consists of a descriptive name and the
account numbers for the income and expense accounts for those four
tax zones as well as the inventory account number.
Now the user must select a single Buchungsgruppe for each
part instead of three distinct accounts.
Therefore there's no need to create the same article more
than once if it is sold or bought in/from another tax
zone.
This upgrade script tries to map all existing parts in the
database to the newly created Buchungsgruppen.
It is possible to do this automatically for some
Buchungsgruppen, but not for all.
You have to create new Buchungsgruppen for all the
combinations of inventory, income and expense accounts that have
been used already.
