Outbound payments: select account
The module allows users to specify which account to use in outbound payments.
Without this module, you can only use a payable account, not being able to use a cost account.
This is useful when you need to track payment status, also attaching files and chatting, for payments not tracked by other documents, like fiscal payments, penalties, etc.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0Lets you choose a specific cost account for outbound payments, instead of being limited to the default payable account. Useful for tracking payments like taxes or penalties that aren't linked to an invoice.
When you create an outbound payment in Odoo, this module adds a new field called "Cost account" on the payment form. This field lets you pick any account from your chart of accounts to be used as the counterpart account for the payment's journal entry.
- The field appears only for outbound payments (payments you make to a vendor or other party).
- It is required while the payment is in draft state, so you must choose an account before confirming.
- Once the payment is confirmed, the field becomes read-only.
- When you select a destination account on the payment, the cost account is automatically filled with that same account, but you can change it to a different one.
- The chosen cost account is used when Odoo creates the accounting journal entry for the payment, replacing the default counterpart account.
This is helpful for payments that are not tied to a specific invoice, such as fiscal payments or penalties, because you can still track them, attach files, and use the chatter. The module only affects the account.payment model and its form view; no new menus or reports are added.
