Disable Account Template Items

Accounting License: AGPL-3

This module allows to disable account template items, adding an active field on the following models:

  • account.account.template
  • account.fiscal.position.template and it two related models
  • account.fiscal.position.account.template
  • account.fiscal.position.tax.template

This module can be interesting in a multi company context, if you install a lot of accounting templates, with some changes.

It can also be interesting if you want to developp a custom localization module based on the official one, but with some removed / added / altered items.

Note:

  • The field active is present in the Odoo account module for the model account.tax.template. for that field, this module only adds the active field on the tree view.

For consistency reason,

  • if user disables an account.account.template it will disable the related account.fiscal.position.account.template
  • if user disables an account.tax.template it will disable the related account.fiscal.position.tax.template
  • if user enables an account.fiscal.position.account.template it will enable the related account.account.template
  • if user enables an account.fiscal.position.tax.template it will enable the related account.tax.template

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Lets you archive (disable) or re-enable accounting template items — accounts, taxes and fiscal positions — so they can be hidden from the chart template without deleting them.

This module adds an on/off switch to the accounting template records used when installing a chart of accounts. Instead of deleting a template item you no longer want, you can simply turn it off and it stays in the database but is marked as archived.

Where it appears: - The account template list and form now show an active toggle, and archived lines appear greyed out. - The tax template list and form get the same toggle. - The fiscal position template list and form show the toggle, and inside a fiscal position the related tax and account lines also show their own toggle. - Archived records display a red "Archived" ribbon on their form.

The lists are configured to keep showing archived items, so you can find and re-enable them later.

Automatic behaviour: - If you disable an account template, any fiscal position account line that uses that account as source or destination is disabled too. - If you disable a tax template, any fiscal position tax line that uses that tax as source or destination is disabled too. - Conversely, if you re-enable a fiscal position account line, the accounts it links are re-enabled; re-enabling a fiscal position tax line re-enables the taxes it links.

It touches the account, tax and fiscal position template models and their related fiscal position account and tax line models.
