Define journals exclusive to receipts and automatically use them in sale and purchase receipts A normal journal cannot be used in receipts if a receipt journal has been created.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Lets you mark sale and purchase journals as exclusive to receipts, so customer and vendor receipts automatically use those journals and normal invoices cannot.
This module adds a new option on journals so you can dedicate specific journals to receipts only.
- On a sale or purchase journal, a new "Exclusive to Receipts" checkbox appears in the Advanced Settings tab. When checked, that journal is reserved for receipts.
- When you create a customer receipt or vendor receipt, Odoo automatically picks the receipt journal of the matching type (sale or purchase) instead of a normal journal.
- If a receipt journal exists for a type, you can no longer post a normal invoice or bill in it, and you can no longer post a receipt in a normal journal: Odoo blocks it with an error message.
- The journal dashboard button for a receipt journal opens only receipts of the right type, and the "New" button there creates a receipt directly.
- A check ensures the receipt journal has a higher sequence number than the other journals of the same type, so it stays at the end of the list.
- When installing a chart of accounts, two ready-made journals are proposed: "Sale Receipts Journal" (code S-REC) and "Purchase Receipts Journal" (code P-REC).
The module touches account.journal, account.move and the chart of accounts template.
