This module provides a way to record Credit Card purchases and to pay them the same way regular purchases are recorded (via Vendor Bills) and paid (via Vendor Payments).
By default, if vendor bills are used to record credit card purchases, the liability (AP) from the supplier/vendor must be moved to the credit card company via a manual journal entry.
Because a journal entry contains less information than a vendor bill, there may be a loss of information that affects book keeping accuracy and the ability to properly reconcile the AP amount when the credit card statement arrives and needs to be settled. This method also requires an additional step not needed when a vendor bill is paid via bank or cash.
This module automates the creation of the manual journal entry required to move the AP to the credit card company, retains all information about the purchase in an invoice document, and leverages the standard purchase and payment workflow already in place for bank and cash payments.
It supports as many Credit Cards as are needed, configured in the same way an additional payment method would be (i.e. via the creation of a new journal).
To settle a Credit Card statement, the regular workflow to record a vendor payment is used – allowing the removal of charges not included in the statement. Non-purchase transactions like fees for annual membership, balance transfers, cash advances and foreign transactions; as well as charges for late payments and returned checks; can be entered either as Vendor Invoices or manual Journal Entries as users elect.
Both of these methods will allow these items to be settled when making a payment to the credit card company.
This module also supports payment cancellation and re-entry (in the case a mistaken amount is entered) as well as refunds (where the purchase is returned and a credit from the credit card company will be issued).
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Lets you flag a bank journal as a credit card journal and pick the credit card company. When entries are posted in that journal, Odoo automatically creates the offsetting lines that transfer the payable to the credit card company.
This module adds credit card handling to the accounting journals in Odoo.
On a bank journal's configuration form you get two new fields: a checkbox "Transfer AP to Credit Card Company" and a "Credit Card Company" contact field. Both are only shown for journals of type bank, and the company field only appears once the checkbox is ticked.
When an entry is posted in a journal that has this checkbox enabled, Odoo automatically creates extra journal item lines. These lines mirror the original entry lines with debit and credit swapped, and the partner is replaced by the credit card company set on the journal (falling back to the line's own partner if none is set). This is what moves the amount owed from the vendor to the credit card company, so the credit card statement can later be reconciled against the credit card company's account.
The module touches the journal configuration screen and the posting process of accounting entries. It does not add its own menu; the new options live inside the existing journal settings.
