Account Period Lock Date - Multi-Company
This module extends the Odoo Account module to have the possibility to manage account lock dates in a multi company context.
This module is interesting only if you have a lot of companies in a same Odoo instance.
In a mono company context, you can prefer the other OCA module, named account_lock_date_update, in account-financial-tools repository.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Adds a single screen listing all companies where you can edit the accounting lock dates (period and fiscal year) directly in the list, without opening each company one by one.
This module is designed for databases that contain several companies. It adds a new menu entry under the Accounting menu called "Companies Accounting Locks".
Opening it shows a list of all companies with, for each one, its name, its parent company, the period lock date and the fiscal year lock date. The list is editable directly in the grid, so you can change the lock dates of several companies from one screen instead of going into each company's settings.
- Company name and parent company are shown as read-only information.
- The period lock date and the fiscal year lock date are the two fields you can edit.
- You cannot create new companies from this screen; it is only meant for updating the lock dates of existing ones.
The module does not add any new automatic rule, check or computation of its own: it relies on the standard lock date fields already provided by Odoo's Accounting app on the company record. It only changes where and how those dates are displayed and edited, and it touches the company model (res.company) and the Accounting menu area.
