This module adds a payee on payment for check printing.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 15.0Adds a Payee field to payments made by check, so the name printed on the check can be controlled separately from the vendor/customer name. The payee defaults to the partner name and can be edited while the payment is still in draft.
This module extends the check printing feature in Accounting. When a payment uses the check printing method, a new "Payee" field appears on the payment form, right before the check number. The payee is what will be written on the printed check, and it defaults to the partner's name (or a dash if there is no partner).
- On a saved payment, the payee is read-only; it can only be changed while the payment is still in draft.
- When you register a payment through the payment wizard, the payee is computed automatically from the selected partner and can still be adjusted before confirming.
- The payee value is carried over into the payment that the wizard creates, both for single payments and for batch payments.
- The field is only shown when the payment method is check printing, so it stays out of the way for other payment types.
On installation, the module fills in the payee for all existing payments using the partner name, so older records are consistent. It touches the account.payment and account.payment.register models and their forms.
