This document outlines the accounting roadmap for version 8.0 of the OpenERP software. Key focuses include improving usability, modularity between invoice and accounting apps, and adding new views like a kanban view of journals. New features under development include payment management in the invoice app, simple tax management, better reconciliation of bank statements, and redesigning the tax interface. The roadmap also includes adding a cash flow statement report and integrating bank statement imports and PayPal payments.
