Definition
In general ERP practice
A balance sheet shows assets, liabilities and equity at a specific date. It describes the financial position, with assets equal to liabilities plus equity under a balanced accounting model.
In Odoo
Odoo Accounting’s Balance Sheet uses ledger accounts and their types to present the selected date’s position. Unpaid customer invoices and vendor bills affect receivable and payable balances, even when no cash has moved.
