Double-entry bookkeeping
|
||||
========================
|
||||
|
||||
Odoo automatically creates all the behind-the-scenes journal entries
|
||||
for each of your accounting transactions: customer invoices, point of
|
||||
sale order, expenses, inventory moves, etc.
|
||||
Odoo automatically creates all the underlying journal entries for all accounting transactions (e.g.,
|
||||
customer invoices, vendor bills, point-of-sales orders, expenses, inventory valuations, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
Odoo uses the rules of double-entry bookkeeping system: all journal
|
||||
entries are automatically balanced (sum of debits = sum of credits).
|
||||
Odoo uses the double-entry bookkeeping system, whereby every entry needs a corresponding and
|
||||
opposite counterpart in a different account, with one account debited and the other credited.
|
||||
It ensures that all transactions are recorded accurately and consistently and that the accounts
|
||||
always balance.

||||
|
||||
Accrual and Cash Basis Methods
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
|
||||
Odoo supports both accrual and cash basis reporting. This allows you to
|
||||
report income / expense at the time transactions occur (i.e., accrual basis), or when
|
||||
payment is made or received (i.e., cash basis).
|
||||
|
||||
Multi-companies
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
Odoo allows one to manage several companies within the same database. Each
|
||||
company has its own chart of accounts and rules. You can get
|
||||
consolidation reports following your consolidation rules.
|
||||
|
||||
Users can access several companies but always work in one company at a
|
||||
time.
|
||||
|
||||
Multi-currencies
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
Every transaction is recorded in the default currency of the
|
||||
company. For transactions occurring in another currency, Odoo stores
|
||||
both the value in the currency of the company and the value in the
|
||||
currency of the transaction. Odoo can generate currencies gains and
|
||||
losses after the reconciliation of the journal items.
|
||||
|
||||
Currency rates are updated once a day using a yahoo.com online
|
||||
web-service.
|
||||
|
||||
International Standards
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
Odoo accounting supports more than 50 countries. The Odoo core
|
||||
accounting implements accounting standards that are common to all
|
||||
countries. Specific modules exist per country for the
|
||||
specificities of the country like the chart of accounts, taxes, or
|
||||
bank interfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
In particular, Odoo's core accounting engine supports:
|
||||
|
||||
* Anglo-Saxon Accounting (U.S., U.K.,, and other English-speaking
|
||||
countries including Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand)
|
||||
where costs of good sold are reported when products are
|
||||
sold/delivered.
|
||||
* European accounting where expenses are accounted at the supplier
|
||||
bill.
|
||||
|
||||
Odoo has modules to comply with IFRS rules.
|
||||
|
||||
Accounts Receivable and Payable
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Odoo uses a single account for all account
|
||||
receivable entries and one for all accounts payable entries. You can
|
||||
create separate accounts per customers/suppliers, but you don't need
|
||||
to.
|
||||
|
||||
As transactions are associated to customers or suppliers, you get
|
||||
reports to perform analysis per customer/supplier such as the customer
|
||||
statement, revenues per customers, aged receivable/payables, ...
|
||||
|
||||
Wide range of financial reports
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
In Odoo, you can generate financial reports in real time. Odoo's
|
||||
reports range from basic accounting reports to advanced management
|
||||
reports. Odoo's reports include:
|
||||
|
||||
* Performance reports (such as Profit and Loss, Budget Variance)
|
||||
* Position reports (such as Balance Sheet, Aged Payables, Aged
|
||||
Receivables)
|
||||
* Cash reports (such as Bank Summary)
|
||||
* Detail reports (such as Trial Balance and General Ledger)
|
||||
* Management reports (such as Budgets, Executive Summary)
|
||||
|
||||
Odoo's report engine allows you to customize your own report based on
|
||||
your own formulae.
|
||||
|
||||
Import bank feeds automatically
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
Bank reconciliation is a process that matches your bank statement
|
||||
lines, as supplied by the bank, to your accounting transactions in the
|
||||
general ledger. Odoo makes bank reconciliation easy by frequently
|
||||
importing bank statement lines from your bank directly into your Odoo
|
||||
account. This means you can have a daily view of your cashflow without
|
||||
having to log into your online banking or wait for your paper bank
|
||||
statements.
|
||||
|
||||
Odoo speeds up bank reconciliation by matching most of your imported
|
||||
bank statement lines to your accounting transactions. Odoo also
|
||||
remembers how you've treated other bank statement lines and provides
|
||||
suggested general ledger transactions.
|
||||
|
||||
Calculate the tax you owe your tax authority
|
||||
============================================
|
||||
|
||||
Odoo totals all your accounting transactions for your tax period and
|
||||
uses these totals to calculate your tax obligation. You can then check
|
||||
your sales tax by running Odoo's Tax Report.
|
||||
|
||||
Inventory Valuation
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
Odoo support both periodic (manual) and perpetual (automated)
|
||||
inventory valuations. The available methods are standard price,
|
||||
average price, LIFO (for countries allowing it) and FIFO.

||||

||||

|
||||
Easy retained earnings
|
||||
Accrual and cash basis
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
Retained earnings are the portion of income retained by your
|
||||
business. Odoo automatically calculates your current year earnings in
|
||||
real time so no year-end journal or rollover is required. This is
|
||||
calculated by reporting the profit and loss balance to your balance
|
||||
sheet report automatically.
|
||||
Both accrual and cash basis accounting are supported in Odoo. This allows reporting income and
|
||||
expense either when the transaction occurs (accrual basis) or when the payment is made or received
|
||||
(cash basis).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Multi-company
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
Several companies can be managed within the same database. Each company has its :doc:`chart of
|
||||
accounts <accounting/get_started/chart_of_accounts>`, which is also useful to generate consolidation
|
||||
reports. Users can access several companies but can only work on a single company's accounting at a
|
||||
time.
|
||||
|
||||
Multi-currency environment
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
A :doc:`multi-currency <accounting/get_started/multi_currency>` environment with an automated
|
||||
exchange rate to ease international transactions is available in Odoo. Every transaction is recorded
|
||||
in the company's default currency; for transactions occurring in another currency, Odoo stores both
|
||||
the value in the company's currency and the transactions' currency value. Odoo generates currency
|
||||
gains and losses after reconciling the journal items.

||||

||||

|
||||
International standards
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
Odoo Accounting supports more than 70 countries. It provides the central standards and mechanisms
|
||||
common to all nations, and thanks to country-specific modules, local requirements are fulfilled.
|
||||
Fiscal positions exist to address regional specificities like the chart of accounts, taxes, or any
|
||||
other requirements.

|
||||
|
||||
Accounts receivable and payable
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
By default, there is a single account for the account receivable entries and one for the account
|
||||
payable entries. As transactions are linked to your **contacts**, you can run a report per customer,
|
||||
vendor, or supplier.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Partner Ledger** report displays the balance of your customers and suppliers. It is available
|
||||
by going to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Reporting --> Partner Ledger`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Tax report
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
Odoo computes all accounting transactions for the specific tax period and uses these totals to
|
||||
calculate the tax obligation.
|
||||
|
||||
.. important::
|
||||
Once the tax report has been generated for a period, Odoo locks it and prevents the creation of
|
||||
new journal entries involving VAT. Any correction to customer invoices or vendor bills has to
|
||||
be recorded in the next period.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Depending on the country's localization, an XML version of the tax report can be generated to be
|
||||
uploaded to the VAT platform of the relevant taxation authority.
|
||||
|
||||
Bank synchronization
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
The bank synchronization system directly connects with your bank institution to automatically
|
||||
import all transactions into your database. It gives an overview of your cash flow without logging
|
||||
into an online banking system or waiting for paper bank statements.
|
||||
|
||||
.. seealso::
|
||||
:doc:`Bank synchronization <accounting/bank/bank_synchronization>`
|
||||
|
||||
Inventory valuation
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
Both periodic (manual) and perpetual (automated) inventory valuations are supported in Odoo. The
|
||||
available methods are standard price, average price, :abbr:`LIFO (Last-In, First-Out)` and
|
||||
:abbr:`FIFO (First-In, First-Out).`
|
||||
|
||||
.. seealso::
|
||||
:doc:`View the impact of the valuation methods on transactions
|
||||
<../inventory_and_mrp/inventory/management/reporting/inventory_valuation_config>`
|
||||
|
||||
Retained earnings
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
Retained earnings are the portion of income retained by a business. Odoo calculates current year
|
||||
earnings in real-time, so no year-end journal or rollover is required. The profit
|
||||
and loss balance is automatically reported on the balance sheet report.

||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Fiduciaries
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
The :guilabel:`Accounting Firms` mode can be activated by going to :menuselection:`Accounting -->
|
||||
Configuration --> Settings --> Accounting Firms mode`. When enabled:
|
||||
|
||||
- The document's sequence becomes editable on all documents;
|
||||
- The :guilabel:`Total (tax incl.)` field appears to speed up and control the encoding by automating
|
||||
line creation with the right account and tax;
|
||||
- :guilabel:`Invoice Date` and :guilabel:`Bill Date` are pre-filled when encoding a transaction.
|
||||
- A :guilabel:`Quick encoding` option is available for customer invoices and vendor bills.
