AI-generated from the code · Odoo 13.0

When you register a payment for an expense report, this module lets you enter an amount that differs from the total and decide how to handle the difference: keep the report open or mark it fully paid with a write-off account.

This module extends the payment wizard used on expense reports (hr.expense.sheet). When you open the Register Payment screen, the amount is pre-filled with the outstanding balance of the report, calculated from the payable/receivable lines of its journal entry.

If the amount you enter is different from that balance, a new section appears showing the payment difference. You then choose how to treat it:

  • Keep open: the difference stays outstanding on the expense report.
  • Mark invoice as fully paid: the difference is written off, and you must select a Difference Account and a Journal Item Label (default "Write-Off").

The wizard also passes the difference handling, write-off account and label to the created payment, and the payment's own difference computation is adjusted so it matches the expense report context.

Everything happens inside the existing Register Payment wizard of the Expenses app; no new menu is added. The module touches hr.expense.sheet, the payment wizard hr.expense.sheet.register.payment.wizard and account.payment.
