Allow to revert a credit note. Standard Odoo does not allow it. When reverting the credit note from the journal entry Standard Odoo does not link it to the Sales order, because the reversal is not an invoice. This module just ensure the reveral is a customer invoice, so it counts as invoice in the sales order.

This also serves when the posting credit notes by mistake. For example, when adding a negative quantity in the sale line and creating Odoo will actually create a credit note, then, if other lines with positive quantites are added nothing changes, and the invoice will be still a credit note.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Adds a "Revert Credit Note" button on posted customer credit notes so the reversal is created as a customer invoice linked to the sales order.

Standard Odoo lets you reverse a credit note from the journal entry, but the result is not treated as an invoice and stays unlinked from the sales order. This module changes that behaviour for customer credit notes.

  • On a posted customer credit note (account.move with type out_refund) an extra button "Revert Credit Note" appears next to the standard Reverse button. It is only visible to users with invoicing rights and only when the document is posted.
  • When the reversal is created, the module automatically turns the resulting document into a customer invoice (out_invoice) instead of a credit note, so it counts as an invoice on the related sales order.
  • In the reversal wizard the field label is renamed to "Reversal reason" and the confirmation button now reads "Reverse and Create Invoice/Credit Note", making it clearer what will happen.

The module touches the accounting move model (account.move) and the reversal wizard (account.move.reversal), and it extends the standard invoice form view and the reversal wizard view. It is useful when a credit note was posted by mistake, for example after entering a negative quantity on a sale line, because the reversal will be recorded as a regular customer invoice.
