This module notifies users of the group Billing Administrator when currency rates are older than 3 days (this default number of days can be modified).
When Odoo converts an amount to another currency at date D in company C, it takes the currency rate of company C (or with an empty Company field) that is dated date D or the closest rate before date D. But Odoo doesn't say anything when there is no rate on date D and the closest rate before date D is far away in the past. This is a real problem because the converted amount may be irrelevant!
This module provides a daily monitoring of the necessity to always have up-to-date rates in your Odoo database.
If the user is allowed in several companies, the notification pop-up will display, for each currency, in which companies the lastest rate is too old.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Warns accounting managers when currency exchange rates in Odoo are older than a set number of days, so converted amounts stay reliable. The warning appears as a pop-up notification and the threshold is configurable in Accounting settings.
This module adds a daily check on currency exchange rates. If the most recent rate for a currency (other than a company's own currency) is older than the allowed number of days, the accounting managers receive a pop-up notification listing the affected currencies.
Where it appears: - In Accounting settings, under the main currency section, a new field "Warn when currency rates are older than" lets you set the number of days (default 3). - A scheduled job named "Currency rates: notify if too old" runs once a day and sends the notifications.
Business rules and behaviour: - The check compares the latest rate date for each currency and company against today's date minus the configured number of days. - A company's own currency is skipped. - Only users in the Billing Administrator group are notified. - If a user belongs to several companies, the pop-up shows, for each currency, which companies have an outdated rate. - If no rate exists at all for a currency, it is also reported.
The module touches the currency rate model res.currency.rate and the settings screen res.config.settings. It relies on the notification system to display the warning.
