ODOO BEHAVIOUR

By removing the notion of opening journal and compute the opening journal on the fly, Odoo proposes a very powerful approach. You can generate an intermediate situation at any date and you are no more locked with a fixed opening journal. Drawback is that you cannot easily export the opening journal in a standard format (excel, csv,...) for communication with 3rd party or BI reports out of Odoo.

CLUEDOO BEHAVIOUR

Cluedoo proposes to export the opening journal at any date in order for you to have this journal, for re-constructing your balance sheet in Excel for instance, for reports, for 3rd party (accounting firm, auditors, bank,...) which could require the opening journal. 

MODULE +

The dynamic opening journal approach by Odoo does no more have the drawback that it's working only inside Odoo. It can be exported and so used anywhere.

BUSINESS CASE

Business Case 1: your mother company has a specific consolidation tools which requires the opening journal.

Business Case 2: you prepare your bookkeeping internally but work with an accounting firm for supervision and validation. The accounting firm has its own tool, and ask you to export the whole general ledger of the period, opening journal included in Excel in order for them to import in their accounting software.
