This module introduces to journal items two new fields:

  • Amount (Used Currency)
  • Used Currency

When the journal item is expressed in foreign currency, those fields will be computed with the amount in foreign currency. Otherwise the company currency and balance in company currency is filled in.

Those fields are useful for reporting purposes. For example, in an intercompany context company A (that operates using USD) sells to company B (that operates using EUR) in EUR, and you want to be able to compare the balances in a common account across the two companies, using the same currency EUR.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 14.0

Adds two reporting fields to journal items: the amount expressed in the currency actually used on the line, and that currency itself. This lets you compare balances across companies that use different currencies.

This module adds two extra columns to every journal item (account.move.line): "Amount (Used Currency)" and "Used Currency". They are filled in automatically, so users do not type them.

  • If the journal item is in a foreign currency, the amount shown is the foreign-currency amount and the used currency is that foreign currency.
  • If no foreign currency is used, the amount shown is the balance in the company currency and the used currency is the company currency.

Both fields are computed and stored, so they can be used in reports and grouping. They appear on the journal item form right after the amount in currency, and as optional (hidden by default) columns in the journal items list and in the lines list inside a journal entry. In the lists they are only visible to users with the multi-currency group.

The module also pre-creates the database columns and pre-fills existing journal items during installation, so the values are ready immediately and installation is faster. It touches the accounting area only: journal entries, journal items and their views.
