+**Odoo Invoicing** is a standalone invoicing app that allows you to :doc:`issue invoices
+<accounting/receivables/customer_invoices/overview>`, send them to your customers, and manage
+payments, including :doc:`online payments
+<accounting/receivables/customer_payments/online_payment>`. It works as a "lighter" version of Odoo
+Accounting, and you can upgrade it to Odoo Accounting if you need more advanced accounting features.
+
+**Odoo Accounting** is a complete and strong accounting app. The automation of processes is at the
+core of its development with its perfect integration with all Odoo apps and with features such as
+:doc:`AI-powered invoice recognition <accounting/payables/supplier_bills/ocr>`,
+:doc:`synchronization with your bank accounts <accounting/bank/feeds/bank_synchronization>`, and
+:doc:`automatic suggestions for a simplified reconciliation process
+<accounting/bank/reconciliation/reconciliation_models>`.

+
+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 uses the rules of double-entry bookkeeping system: all journal
+entries are automatically balanced (sum of debits = sum of credits).
+
+.. seealso::
+   - :doc:`Understand Odoo's accounting transactions per document
+     <accounting/getting_started/memento>`
+
+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.
+
+.. seealso::
+   - :doc:`View impact of the valuation method on your transactions
+     <../inventory_and_mrp/inventory/management/reporting/inventory_valuation_config>`
+
+Easy retained earnings
+======================
+
+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.

+Validity of electronic signatures
+=================================
+
+The legal validity of electronic signatures generated by Odoo depends on the legislation of your
+country. Companies doing business abroad should consider electronic signature laws of other
+countries as well.
+
+In the European Union
+---------------------
+
+The `eIDAS regulation <http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2014/910/oj>`_ establishes the framework for
+electronic signatures in all `27 member states of the European Union
+<https://europa.eu/european-union/about-eu/countries_en>`_.
+
+It distinguishes three types of electronic signatures:
+
+#. Electronic signatures
+#. Advanced electronic signatures
+#. Qualified electronic signatures
+
+Odoo generates the first type, regular electronic signatures, and these signatures can produce legal
+effects in the EU, as the regulation states that “an electronic signature shall not be denied legal
+effect and admissibility as evidence in legal proceedings solely on the grounds that it is in an
+electronic form or that it does not meet the requirements for qualified electronic signatures.”
+
+Note that electronic signatures may not be automatically recognized as valid. You may need to bring
+supporting evidence of a signature’s validity.
+
+In the United States of America
+-------------------------------
+
+The `ESIGN Act (Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act)
+<https://www.fdic.gov/regulations/compliance/manual/10/X-3.1.pdf>`_, at the interstate and
+international levels, and the `UETA (Uniform Electronic Transactions Act)
+<https://www.uniformlaws.org/committees/community-home/librarydocuments?communitykey=2c04b76c-2b7d-4399-977e-d5876ba7e034&tab=librarydocuments>`_,

+<https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs5.asp?ActID=89&>`_ and `New York
+<https://its.ny.gov/electronic-signatures-and-records-act-esra>`_ have not adopted the UETA, but
+similar acts instead.
+
+Overall, to be recognized as valid, electronic signatures have to meet five criteria:
+
+#. A signer must show a clear intent to sign. For example, using a mouse to draw a signature can
+   show intent. The signer must also have the option to opt-out of electronically signing a
+   document.
+#. A signer must first express or imply their consent to conduct business electronically.
+#. The signature must be clearly attributed. In Odoo, metadata, such as the signer’s IP address, is
+   added to the signature, which can be used as supporting evidence.
+#. The signature must be associated with the document being signed, for example, by keeping a record
+   detailing how the signature was captured.
+#. Electronically signed documents need to be retained and available for later reference by all
+   parties involved, for example, by providing the signer either a fully-executed copy or the option
+   to download a copy.
+
+.. note::
+   The information provided here does not constitute legal advice; it is provided for general
