How to setup Odoo Accounting?
|

=============================
|

===================================================
|
||||
Initial setup of Odoo Accounting and Odoo Invoicing
|
||||
===================================================
|
||||
|
||||
The Odoo Accounting application has an implementation guide that you
|
||||
should follow to configure it. It's a step-by-step wizard with links to
|
||||
the different screens you will need.
|
||||
When you first open your Odoo Accounting app, the *Accounting Overview* page welcomes you with a
|
||||
step-by-step onboarding banner, a wizard that helps you get started. This onboarding banner is
|
||||
displayed until you choose to close it.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have `installed the Accounting
|
||||
application <https://www.odoo.com/apps/modules/online/account_accountant/>`__,
|
||||
you should click on the top-right progressbar to get access to the
|
||||
implementation guide.
|
||||
The settings visible in the onboarding banner can still be modified later by going to
|
||||
:menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: ./media/setup01.png
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Odoo Accounting automatically installs the appropriate **Fiscal Localization Package** for your
|
||||
company, according to the country selected at the creation of the database. This way, the right
|
||||
accounts, reports, and taxes are ready-to-go.
|
||||
|
||||
Accounting onboarding banner
|
||||
============================
|

|
||||
The step-by-step Accounting onboarding banner is composed of four steps:

||||
.. image:: ./media/setup02.png
|
||||
Company Data
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
This menu allows you to add your company’s details such as the name, address, logo, website, phone
|
||||
number, email address, and Tax ID, or VAT number. These details are then displayed on your documents,
|
||||
such as on invoices.

||||

|
||||
:alt: Add your company's details in Odoo Accounting and Odoo Invoicing
|
||||
|
||||
Once a step is done, you can click on the "Mark as Done" button, in the
|
||||
bottom of the screen. That way, you can track the progress of your
|
||||
overall configuration of Odoo.
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
You can also change these settings by going to :menuselection:`Settings --> General Settings -->
|
||||
Settings --> Companies` and clicking on **Update Info**.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _accounting-setup-bank:
|
||||
|
||||
Bank Account
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Connect your bank account database to your database, and have your bank statements synced
|
||||
automatically. To do so, find your bank on the list, click on *Connect*, and follow the instructions
|
||||
on-screen.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
:doc:`Click here <../../bank/feeds/bank_synchronization>` for more information about this feature.
|
||||
|
||||
If your bank can’t be synchronized automatically, or if you prefer not to sync your bank account
|
||||
with your database, you may also configure your bank account manually by clicking on *Create it*,
|
||||
and filling out the form.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Name**: the bank account's name, as displayed on Odoo.
|
||||
- **Account Number**: your bank account number (IBAN in Europe).
|
||||
- **Bank**: click on *Create and Edit* to configure the bank's details. Add the real bank's name
|
||||
and its Identifier Code (BIC or SWIFT).
|
||||
- **Code**: this code is your Journal's *Short Code*, as displayed on Odoo. By default, Odoo creates
|
||||
a new Journal with this Short Code.
|
||||
- **Journal**: if this field is displayed, then select the *Journal* you want to use to record the
|
||||
financial transactions linked to this bank account, or create a new one by clicking on *Create and
|
||||
Edit*.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
You can add as many bank accounts as needed with this tool by going to :menuselection:`Accounting
|
||||
--> Configuration`, and clicking on *Add a Bank Account*.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _accounting-setup-periods:
|
||||
|
||||
Accounting Periods
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Define here your **Fiscal Years**’ opening and closing dates, which are used to generate reports
|
||||
automatically, and your **Tax Return Periodicity**, along with a reminder to never miss a tax return
|
||||
deadline.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the opening date is set on the 1st of January and the closing date on the 31st of
|
||||
December, as this is the most common use.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
You can also change these settings by going to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration -->
|
||||
Settings --> Fiscal Periods` and updating the values.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _accounting-setup-chart:
|
||||
|
||||
Chart of Accounts
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
With this menu, you can add accounts to your **Chart of Accounts** and indicate their initial
|
||||
opening balances.
|
||||
|
||||
Basic settings are displayed on this page to help you review your Chart of Accounts. To access all
|
||||
the settings of an account, click on the *double arrow button* at the end of the line.

|
||||
Accounts.
|
||||
|
||||
Invoicing onboarding banner
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
There is another step-by-step onboarding banner that helps you take advantage of your Odoo Invoicing
|
||||
and Accounting apps. The *Invoicing onboarding banner* is the one that welcomes you if you use the
|
||||
Invoicing app rather than the Accounting app.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have Odoo Accounting installed on your database, you can reach it by going to
|
||||
:menuselection:`Accounting --> Customers --> Invoices`.
|
||||
|
||||
The Invoicing onboarding banner is composed of four main steps:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
#. :ref:`invoicing-setup-layout`
|
||||
#. :ref:`invoicing-setup-payment`
|
||||
#. :ref:`invoicing-setup-sample`
|
||||
|
||||
.. _invoicing-setup-company:
|
||||
|
||||
Company Data
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
This form is the same as :ref:`the one presented in the Accounting onboarding banner
|
||||
<accounting-setup-company>`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _invoicing-setup-layout:
|
||||
|
||||
Invoice Layout
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
With this tool, you can design the appearance of your documents by selecting which layout tamplate,
|
||||
paper format, colors, font, and logo you want to use.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also add your *Company Tagline* and the content of the documents’ *footer*. Note that Odoo
|
||||
automatically adds the company's phone number, email, website URL, and Tax ID (or VAT number) to the
|
||||
footer, according to the values you previously configured in the :ref:`Company Data
|
||||
<accounting-setup-company>`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: media/setup_document_layout.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
:alt: Document layout configuration in Odoo Invoicing
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
Add your **bank account number** and a link to your **General Terms & Condition** in the footer.
|
||||
This way, your contacts can find the full content of your GT&C online without having to print
|
||||
them on the invoices you issue.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
These settings can also be modified by going to :menuselection:`Settings --> General Settings`,
|
||||
under the *Business Documents* section.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _invoicing-setup-payment:
|
||||
|
||||
Payment Method
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
This menu helps you configure the payment methods with which your customers can pay you.
|
||||
|
||||
.. important::
|
||||
Configuring a *Payment Acquirer* with this tool also activates the *Invoice Online Payment*
|
||||
option automatically. With this, users can directly pay online, from their Customer Portal.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _invoicing-setup-sample:
|
||||
|
||||
Sample Invoice
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
Send yourself a sample invoice by email to make sure everything is correctly configured.
