Expense Type is useful to quickly identify the nature of expense based on other custom parameter than analytic account.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0Lets you create your own list of expense types and tag each expense with one, so you can classify and group expenses by their nature.
This module adds a simple catalogue of "Expense Types" that you can use to label employee expenses.
- A new menu item "Expense Types" appears under the Expenses configuration menu, where you can create, edit and delete types. Each type has a name (required), a code, a free description and a company.
- On every expense record, a new "Expense Type" field is available next to the employee, both in the expense list and in the expense form.
- In the expense search filters, you can filter by expense type and group the expense list by type, which makes it easy to see totals per nature of expense.
- Access is controlled: ordinary HR users can only read the list of types, while HR managers can create, change and delete them.
The module only extends the existing expense model hr.expense and adds the new model hr.expense.type; it does not change amounts, taxes or accounting entries.
