The *Account Product Module* mainly extends existing accounting and product
|
|
concepts.
|
|
|
|
.. _concept-product:
|
|
|
|
Product
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
The *Product* concept is extended with a set of methods that allow access to
|
|
the product's accounting related properties.
|
|
|
|
Many of these properties are set in the product's accounting category.
|
|
The accounting category is a special type of
|
|
`Product Category <model-product.category>`.
|
|
Unlike standard product categories, each product can only have a single
|
|
accounting category.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
The `Product <product:concept-product>` concept is introduced by the
|
|
:doc:`Product Module <product:index>`.
|
|
|
|
.. _model-product.category:
|
|
|
|
Product Category
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
The *Account Product Module* allows some *Product Categories* to be marked as
|
|
accounting categories.
|
|
These product categories can have accounting properties such as
|
|
`Taxes <account:model-account.tax>`, and revenue and expense
|
|
`Accounts <account:model-account.account>` associated with them.
|
|
|
|
When placing categories into a structure all the categories in the structure
|
|
must be either standard categories or accounting categories.
|
|
This means an accounting category cannot have a standard category as its
|
|
parent or as any of its subcategories.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
The `Product Category <product:model-product.category>` concept is
|
|
introduced by the :doc:`Product Module <product:index>`.
|
|
|
|
.. _model-analytic_account.rule:
|
|
|
|
Analytic Account Rule
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The *Account Product Module* extends the *Analytic Account Rules* allowing
|
|
`Products <concept-product>` and `Categories <model-product.category>` to be
|
|
used as criteria by the analytic rule engine.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This feature is only available when the *Analytic Account Module* is
|
|
activated.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
The *Analytic Account Rule* concept is introduced by the :doc:`Analytic
|
|
Account Module <analytic_account:index>`.
