1) Balance Sheet in Double Entry system is completely wrong? App adds the credit and debit values up. I mean seriously? 2) General Ledger also not showing correct values in Double Entry system? 3) Profit and Loss statement useless after Journal Entries in Double Entry system? 4) Many Revenues and Expenses in free part of app are missing from Journal Entry record entries in Double Entry system? 5) Categories in Revenues and Expenses are set to Deposit and Others respectively when Journal Entry record entries made in Double Entry system?
I had big debate with accountant and I was banking on Akaunting team saying how can they be wrong on such basic and fundamental points? But my accountant proved me wrong with examples. Now I realized how can an accountant be wrong, off course the developer can be wrong as he can't be better than a chartered accountant who lives on accounting.
The whole Akaunting App as such is quite buggy. It takes more than 3 - 4 attempts before installation just because developer was just lazy not to handle situations smartly. Not a thoughtful development at all. App randomly will show blank pages at times. On most pages things are not really thoughtfully designed. I'm getting to a point that I'm desperate to either get these fixed urgently or find another ROBUST accounting open source self-hosted platform.
Anyone faced such issues? And got any ideas how to fix them?
