auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 20.0

Installs the Paraguayan accounting setup in Odoo: a complete chart of accounts, IVA 10% and 5% taxes, exempt/exonerated taxes and ready-made fiscal positions for purchases and sales.

This module adds Paraguay as an accounting localization. When you set a company's country to Paraguay and load the local chart template, Odoo creates the "Plan de Cuentas - Paraguay (Resolución General N° 49/14)" with 6-digit account codes, covering assets, liabilities, equity, income, costs and expenses (including agricultural, livestock and export accounts).

It also pre-configures the default accounts used by Odoo: customer receivables, supplier payables, default income and expense accounts, bank, cash and transfer account prefixes, currency exchange gain/loss accounts, cash difference accounts and the journal suspense account.

Taxes are ready to use: IVA 10% and IVA 5% for both sales and purchases, plus Exento and Exonerado taxes at 0%. They are grouped into tax groups (IVA 10%, IVA 5%, Exento) with payable and receivable accounts already linked, and the default sale and purchase taxes are set to IVA 10%.

Fiscal positions are provided for common Paraguayan cases: purchases that are non-taxed or exempt, late supplier invoices, rejected expenses, free-of-charge deliveries, fixed assets, supermarket purchases, exempt sales and export sales. The export sales fiscal position is flagged with a dedicated "Exportación (PY)" checkbox, used to identify export operations automatically instead of relying on the translated name.
