This module allows users to update the currency manually for invoices that are still in the draft stage. It offers flexibility to companies when calculating currency rates for invoicing.
For example, if a company makes a deal with a vendor but the actual purchase happens on a different day, this module lets them choose whether to use the currency rate from the accounting date or a special rate agreed upon during the deal. This ensures accurate currency rate calculations for invoices, even when the purchase date and deal date differ.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Lets accountants set a custom exchange rate on draft invoices and on payment registration, instead of always using Odoo's automatic rate. Useful when the agreed deal rate differs from the accounting-date rate.
This module adds a manual currency option to customer and vendor invoices (account.move) and to the payment registration wizard.
On a draft invoice in a foreign currency, a new "Manual Currency" checkbox appears next to the journal field (only for users with multi-currency rights). When ticked, you can type your own exchange rate and choose its direction: either "Currency per 1 company currency" or "company currency per 1 Currency". A refresh button recalculates the rate from the invoice date and currency. The rate can only be changed while the invoice is still in draft; once posted, the fields become read-only and the refresh action raises an error.
When a manual rate is used, the invoice lines and the invoice currency rate follow that rate, and a "Total (company currency)" amount is shown above the tax totals whenever the invoice currency differs from the company currency.
In the Register Payment wizard, the same manual currency fields appear when the payment currency differs from the company currency. The wizard refuses to continue if the selected invoices do not all share the same manual currency setting, and the chosen rate is copied onto the generated payment entries.
A dedicated decimal precision named "Manual Currency" (12 digits) is created for the rate field.
