auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 13.0Adds an access right that controls who is allowed to post journal entries in accounting. When the role policy app is installed together with Accounting, posting an invoice or journal entry can be blocked for users without the right.
This module connects the role policy access-right system to the Accounting app. It installs automatically when both the role policy module and the standard Accounting module are present, so no manual setup is needed.
What it changes for users:
- Posting an accounting document (an invoice, bill or journal entry, i.e.
account.move) is now checked against a permission before it is allowed. - If the user does not have the right to post accounting entries, the posting is refused with an error instead of going through.
- The permission is managed through the role policy configuration, where the new entry "account.move,post" appears in the list of model methods that can be granted or denied per role.
Where it appears in Odoo:
- The new selectable right "account.move,post" is added to the list of methods available in the role policy settings, so administrators can assign it to roles.
- The check happens when the user clicks the Post button on an invoice, bill or journal entry.
Which areas it touches:
- It extends the accounting document model
account.moveand the role policy modelmodel.method.execution.right.
No new menus, reports, scheduled actions or automatic computations are added; the module only adds this posting permission check.
