Fiscal Years - Automatic Creation
This module extends the functionality of Accounting Odoo module, to auto generate fiscal years.
Once installed, a cron is running each day. It will create, for each company, a new fiscal year, if it is the last day of the current fiscal year.
This module is interesting specially in multi company context, to avoid annoying setup every year.
The fiscal year created has a classical "12 monthes" duration, but the accountant can modify it, once created.
Example
If a company has it last fiscal year, defined as:
- name: FY 2021-2022
- date_from: 2021-06-01
- date_to: 2022-05-31
When the cron will be executed on May 31, 2022, it will create the following fiscal year:
- name: FY 2022-2023
- date_from: 2022-06-01
- date_to: 2023-05-31
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Automatically creates the next fiscal year for each company when the current one ends, so accountants don't have to set it up manually every year.
This module adds a daily scheduled job called "Auto Create Fiscal Years" that runs in the background. For every company, it looks at the most recent fiscal year recorded and, once that year's end date has passed, it creates a new fiscal year starting the day after.
The new fiscal year is built from the previous one: - The name is generated by replacing the old years with the following years (for example, "FY 2021-2022" becomes "FY 2022-2023"). - If a fiscal year with that name already exists for the same company, a fallback name based on the start and end dates is used instead. - The start date is the day after the previous end date, and the end date is one year later minus one day, giving a standard 12-month period.
This is especially useful for companies with several legal entities, because each company gets its own next fiscal year without manual entry. The created fiscal year can still be edited afterwards by the accountant if the real period differs. The module works on the account.fiscal.year model and depends on the Fiscal Year module.
