Hello  
Please I need some help to configure my dolibarr for analytic accounting. I have four business units and I would like to have a P&L for each of them. I am using OHADA accounting.

How can I please go about it?

Kind regards

Vermont

Hi Vermont,

If you’re not using the project features yet, you may define 1 project per business unit and assign you selling and purchase invoices to the relevant project to get a summary of earnings/spendings in project tab.

It may be more difficult otherwise, but projects can have tags, and then these could be used to define the business units. You would then have to gather the data of the projects based on the tag selection.

Regards,  
Marc

We have recently finished developing a specific module for the management of [Analytical Accounting](https://www.dolistore.com/en/modules/1899-Manufacturing-Production---Analytical-Accounting.html) (for cost centres).  
Here you can find a short [explanatory video](https://youtu.be/xU3B4CAwhQE)
