This module allows to compensate the balance of a receivable account with the balance of a payable account for the same partner, creating a journal item that reflects this operation.
WARNING: This operation can be forbidden in your country by the accounting regulations, so you should check current laws before using it. For example, in Spain, this is not allowed at first instance, unless you document well the operation from both parties.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Lets accountants offset a partner's receivable and payable balances by creating and posting a single journal entry that reconciles the selected journal items.
This module adds a "Compensate" action on the Journal Items list (account.move.line). Select at least two posted journal items for the same partner and run it to open a wizard.
The wizard shows the partner, the amount to compensate and whether it is "To pay" or "To receive", plus a general journal, a date and a reference (default "AR/AP netting"). It refuses to continue if fewer than two items are selected, if a line is not posted, already reconciled or has no partner, if the accounts are not payable or receivable, if all lines share the same account (use Reconcile instead), or if the lines belong to different partners.
On confirmation it creates a journal entry in the chosen journal, posts it, and reconciles the new lines with the selected ones per account, leaving only the remaining balance on the partner. The user is then taken to the created entry.
Access is granted to the accountant and accounting manager groups. Note that netting receivables against payables may be restricted by local accounting rules.
