You can add the financial account when creating an analytical item. This is actually quite handy for internal billing between departments, etc. You can simulate P&Ls for each department

Hi,

I’ve never actually seen this specific feature Analytic Simulation in Odoo, which is surprising since we know the Accounting module very well. 

What I can say is that Analytics in Odoo are a powerful tool for splitting Revenue, Costs, and other accounting data into different groups, subgroups, and dimensions. 

At ERPixel we use analytics for Revenue and Cost Planning (our own module) across projects, business units, departments, etc. This allows us to Forecast company profit for future periods. Similarly, we use analytics to plan Cash Flow Direct movements across bank accounts, which gives us projected Cash Flow reports for the whole company or for a selected part (project, business unit, cost center, etc.). Actual data is, of course, automatically fed into the budgets.

Overall, analytics in Odoo are extremely useful and make Odoo attractive compared to many other accounting systems. At ERPixel we implement end-to-end analytic accounting across company groups, so that all financial operations can be split and analyzed by unit, cost center, business owner, and more. This is a very powerful capability.

I've looked through the video and all of the information that I could find on the internet and I am no clearer to understanding how the Analytic Simulation works. It is an option in the reports but there is no documentation whatsoever about it, still with Odoo 18. Odoo AI has no idea about analytic simulations either!

I do not know also for what it serve Analytic Simulation. But, if you want include only analytic item without accounting move lines. You can set "group by" and "analytic filter". If those option do not appear you can set in report configuration.
