auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds a "Cancel all related operations" button on expense sheets so accountants can undo a posted or paid expense, removing its journal entries, payments and reconciliations and returning the sheet to Submitted.
This module adds a cancellation button to the expense sheet form, visible only to users in the Accounting Manager group and only when the sheet is in Posted or Done state. The button is labelled "Cancel all related operations" and its tooltip explains that it cancels journal entries, payments and reconciliations.
When pressed, the module reverses the accounting behind the expense sheet: it detaches the related journal entries, cancels any payments that are not already cancelled, and removes the reconciliations that were created automatically. If the expense was paid by the employee (own account), it also removes the reconciliation between the payment and the expense entries. Journal entries that are not in draft are cancelled and then deleted. Any invoice entries that were automatically created and reconciled by the expense-invoice flow are also cancelled.
After the cleanup, the expense sheet is set back to the Submitted state, so the employee or accountant can correct the expense and submit it again.
It touches the expense sheet (hr.expense.sheet) and payment (account.payment) models, and works together with the expense payment module. No new menus or reports are added; the only visible change is the extra button on the existing expense sheet screen.
