+
+How can I automate tasks when an IP address change occurs?
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+**Odoo.sh notifies project administrators of IP address changes.**
+Additionally, when the IP address of a production instance changes, an HTTP `GET` request is made
+to the path `/_odoo.sh/ip-change` with the new IP address included as a query string parameter
+(`new`), along with the previous IP address as an additional parameter (`old`).
+
+This mechanism allows custom actions to be applied in response to the IP address change
+(e.g., sending an email, contacting a firewall API, configuring database objects, etc.)
+
+For security reasons, the `/_odoo.sh/ip-change` route is accessible only internally by the platform
+itself and returns a `403` response if accessed through any other means.
+
+Here is a pseudo-implementation example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class IPChangeController(http.Controller):
+
+        @http.route('/_odoo.sh/ip-change', auth='public')
+        def ip_change(self, old=None, new=None):

+            # ir.config_parameter, send an email, contact an external firewall service's API, ...

+An upgrade involves moving a database from an older version to a newer supported version (e.g., from
+Odoo 16.0 to Odoo 18.0). Regular upgrades are crucial as each version offers new features, bug
+fixes, and security patches. Using a :doc:`supported version <supported_versions>` is strongly

 .. spoiler:: Automatic upgrades: Odoo Online's Rolling Release process
 
-   The Rolling Release process allows Odoo Online customers to upgrade their database directly from
-   a message prompt sent to the database administrator as soon as a new version is released. The
-   invitation to upgrade is only sent if no issues are detected during the automatic tests.

-   Clicking :guilabel:`I want to test first` redirects to `the database manager
-   <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases/>`_, where it is possible to request an upgraded test database
-   and check it for any discrepancies.
+   Concretely, Odoo’s Upgrade Team performs a silent test upgrade of every database that should be
+   upgraded. If the test is successful and lasts less than 20 minutes, you can directly trigger the
+   upgrade from the database. If the test fails, you can test an upgrade using the `database manager
+   <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_.
 
-   It is **not** recommended to click :guilabel:`Upgrade Now` without testing first, as it
-   immediately triggers the live production database upgrade.
+   When you are invited to upgrade, it is strongly recommended to :ref:`request an upgraded test
+   database <upgrade-request-test>` first and spend time :ref:`testing <upgrade-testing>` it.
 
-   If the Rolling Release process detects an issue with the upgrade, it will be deactivated until

+:doc:`Purchase <../inventory_and_mrp/purchase/advanced/analyze>` report for the *Purchase* app,
+among others.
+
+The options in the :icon:`fa-adjust` :guilabel:`Comparison` section are used to compare data from
+two different time periods. There are two comparison options to choose from: :guilabel:`(Time
+Filter): Previous Period` and :guilabel:`(Time Filter): Previous Year`.
+
+.. important::
+   For some reports, the :guilabel:`Comparison` section **only** appears in the
+   :guilabel:`Search...` bar drop-down menu if one (or more) time periods have been selected in the
+   :guilabel:`Filters` column. This is because, if no time period is specified, there is nothing to
+   compare.
+
+   Additionally, some reports only allow use of the :guilabel:`Comparison` feature when the
+   :icon:`fa-pie-chart` :guilabel:`(pie chart)` graph type, or the :icon:`oi-view-pivot`
+   :guilabel:`(pivot)` view, is selected. A :guilabel:`Comparison` option can be selected even if
+   another view is enabled, but doing so does **not** change the way data is displayed on the
+   report.
+
+.. image:: search/comparison-section.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The Search... bar for the production analysis report.
+
+To view data using one of the two comparisons, begin by selecting a time period in the
+:guilabel:`Filters` column of the :guilabel:`Search...` bar drop-down menu. Then, select either
+:guilabel:`(Time Filter): Previous Period` or :guilabel:`(Time Filter): Previous Year` in the
+:guilabel:`Comparison` section.
+
+With one of the :guilabel:`Comparison` options enabled, the report compares the data for the
+selected period, with the data for the same unit of time (month, quarter, year), one period or year
+prior. The way the data is displayed depends on the selected view:
+
+- The :icon:`fa-bar-chart` :guilabel:`(bar chart)` shows two bars, side-by-side, for each unit of
+  time for the selected time period. The left bar represents the selected time period, while the
+  right bar represents the previous time period.
+- The :icon:`fa-line-chart` :guilabel:`(line chart)` is displayed with two lines, one representing
+  the selected time period, and the other representing the previous time period.
+- The :icon:`fa-pie-chart` :guilabel:`(pie chart)` appears as a large circle with a smaller circle
+  inside. The larger circle represents the selected time period, while the smaller circle represents
+  the previous time period.
+- The :icon:`oi-view-pivot` :guilabel:`(pivot table)` is displayed with each column split into two
+  smaller columns. The right column represents the selected time period, while the left column
+  represents the previous time period.
+
+.. example::
+   In the :guilabel:`Production Analysis` report of the :menuselection:`Manufacturing` app, data for
+   the second quarter of 2024 is compared to data for the second quarter of 2023. :guilabel:`Q2` is
+   selected in the :guilabel:`End Date` filter section of the :guilabel:`Search...` bar drop-down
+   menu. In the :guilabel:`Comparison` section, :guilabel:`End Date: Previous Year` is selected.
+
+   The current year is 2024, so the larger circle shows data for the second quarter (Q2) of 2024.
+   The smaller circle shows data for the second quarter (Q2) of 2023, which is the same time period,
+   but one *year* prior.
+
+   If :guilabel:`End Date: Previous Period` is selected instead, the smaller circle shows data for

-and delivered. It must also include other information needed to pay the
-invoice in a timely and precise manner.
+An invoice must include the required information to enable the customer to pay promptly for their

+  To change these values for this specific invoice, edit them directly on the invoice. To change
+  them for future invoices, change the values on the contact record.

+Odoo's :doc:`follow-up actions <payments/follow_up>` help companies follow up on customer invoices.
+Different actions can be set up to remind customers to pay their outstanding invoices, depending on
+how much the customer is overdue. These actions are bundled into follow-up levels that trigger when
+an invoice is overdue by a certain number of days. If there are multiple overdue invoices for the
+same customer, the actions are performed on the most overdue invoice.
 
-Payment
--------
+.. _accounting/invoice/sequence:
 
-In Odoo, an invoice is considered to be paid when the associated
-accounting entry has been reconciled with the payment entries. If there
-has not been a reconciliation, the invoice will remain in the Open state
-until you have entered the payment.
+Sequence
+========
 
-A typical journal entry generated from a payment will look like as
-follows:
+The sequence that Odoo assigns to each document is a unique number made up of a prefix and a number.
+The prefix combines the journal code and the entry date and is used to group entries by period. The
+number is unique for each period and is used to identify the entry. The default sequence on customer
+invoices is INV/YYYY/number. In some specific cases,
+:ref:`resequencing <accounting/invoice/resequencing>` invoices might be necessary.

+Resequencing
+------------
 
-You can manually enter your bank statements in Odoo, or you can import
-them in from a csv file or from several other predefined formats
-according to your accounting localisation.
+Resequencing is not possible:
 
-Create a bank statement from the accounting dashboard with the related
-journal and enter an amount of $100 .
+- When entries are before a lock date.
+- When the sequence leads to a duplicate.
+- When the :guilabel:`Invoice Date` doesn't match the date contained in the new sequence number,
+  e.g., if the sequence is changed to INV/2023/XXXXX for a document with an :guilabel:`Invoice Date`
+  of 2024.
 
-.. image:: customer_invoices/invoice06.png
+To change the invoice sequence with the structure INV/YYYY/MM/number, add `/MM` with the number of
+the month of the :guilabel:`Invoice date`. Odoo will recognize the "/" term as a month and update
+the future invoice sequence appropriately with the month of the :guilabel:`Invoice date`. For
+example, if the invoice date is January, change the sequence to `INV/2024/01/XXXXX`.
 
-Reconcile
----------
+In this case, if the :guilabel:`Invoice date` isn't aligned with the sequence number, a
+:guilabel:`Validation Error` message appears.
 
-Now let's reconcile!
+.. note::
 
-.. image:: customer_invoices/invoice07.png
+   - All sequence changes are logged in the chatter to keep the information.
+   - Sequence changes also affect the format of future invoices' sequences.
 
-You can now go through every transaction and reconcile them or you can mass reconcile with instructions at the bottom.
+.. _accounting/invoice/resequencing-one-invoice:
 
-After reconciling the items in the sheet, the related invoice will now
-display "You have outstanding payments for this customer. You can
-reconcile them to pay this invoice. "

+Mass-resequencing invoices
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-.. image:: customer_invoices/invoice10.png
+It can be helpful to resequence multiple invoice numbers. For example, when importing invoices from
+another invoicing or accounting system and the reference originates from the previous software,
+continuity for the current year must be maintained without restarting from the beginning.
 
-Payment Followup
-----------------
+.. note::
+   This feature is only available to users with administrator or advisor access.
 
-There's a growing trend of customers paying bills later and later.
-Therefore, collectors must make every effort to collect money and
-collect it faster.
+Follow these steps to resequence invoice numbers:
 
-Odoo will help you define your follow-up strategy. To remind customers
-to pay their outstanding invoices, you can define different actions
-depending on how severely overdue the customer is. These actions are
-bundled into follow-up levels that are triggered when the due date of an
-invoice has passed a certain number of days. If there are other overdue
-invoices for the same customer, the actions of the most overdue invoice
-will be executed.

-        account** for the month less the balance of your **Purchases account**
-        for the month.

-
-To record a new expense, begin in the main :menuselection:`Expenses` app dashboard, which presents
-the default :guilabel:`My Expenses` view. This view can also be accessed from
-:menuselection:`Expenses app --> My Expenses --> My Expenses`.
-
-First, click :guilabel:`New`, and then fill out the various fields on the form.
-
-- :guilabel:`Description`: Enter a short description for the expense in the :guilabel:`Description`
-  field. This should be short and informative, such as `lunch with client` or `hotel for
-  conference`.
-- :guilabel:`Category`: Select the expense category from the drop-down menu that most closely
-  corresponds to the expense. For example, an airplane ticket would be appropriate for an expense
-  :guilabel:`Category` named :guilabel:`Air Travel`.
-- :guilabel:`Total`: Enter the total amount paid for the expense in one of two ways:
-
-  #. If the expense is for one single item/expense, and the category selected was for a single item,
-     enter the cost in the :guilabel:`Total` field (the :guilabel:`Quantity` field is hidden).
-  #. If the expense is for multiples of the same item/expense with a fixed price, the
-     :guilabel:`Unit Price` is displayed. Enter the quantity in the :guilabel:`Quantity` field, and
-     the total cost is automatically updated with the correct total (the :guilabel:`Unit Price` x
-     the :guilabel:`Quantity` = the total). Be advised, the word "total" does not appear, the total
-     cost simply appears below the :guilabel:`Quantity`.
-
-     .. example::
-        For example, in the case of mileage driven, the :guilabel:`Unit Price` is populated as the
-        cost *per mile*. Set the :guilabel:`Quantity` to the *number of miles* driven, and the total
-        is calculated.
-
-- :guilabel:`Included Taxes`: If taxes were configured on the expense category, the tax percentage
-  and amount appear automatically after entering either the :guilabel:`Total` or the
-  :guilabel:`Quantity`.
-
-  .. note::
-     When a tax is configured on an expense category, the :guilabel:`Included Taxes` value will
-     update in real time as the :guilabel:`Total` or :guilabel:`Quantity` is updated.
-
-- :guilabel:`Employee`: Using the drop-down menu, select the employee this expense is for.
-- :guilabel:`Paid By`: Click the radio button to indicate who paid for the expense and should be
-  reimbursed. If the employee paid for the expense (and should be reimbursed) select
-  :guilabel:`Employee (to reimburse)`. If the company paid directly instead (e.g. if the company
-  credit card was used to pay for the expense) select :guilabel:`Company`. Depending on the expense
-  category selected, this field may not appear.
-- :guilabel:`Bill Reference`: If there is any reference text that should be included for the
-  expense, enter it in this field.
-- :guilabel:`Expense Date`: Using the calendar module, enter the date the expense was incurred. Use
-  the :guilabel:`< (left)` and :guilabel:`> (right)` arrows to navigate to the correct month, then
-  click on the specific day to enter the selection.
-- :guilabel:`Account`: Select the expense account that this expense should be logged on from the
-  drop-down menu.
-- :guilabel:`Customer to Reinvoice`: If the expense is something that should be paid for by a
-  customer, select the :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)` and customer that will be invoiced for this expense
-  from the drop-down menu. All sales orders in the drop-down menu list both the :abbr:`SO (Sales
-  Order)` as well as the company the sales order is written for, but after the expense is saved, the
-  customer name disappears and only the :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)` is visible on the expense.
-
-  .. example::
-     A customer wishes to have an on-site meeting for a custom garden (design and installation) and
-     agrees to pay for the expenses associated with it (such as travel, hotel, meals, etc.). All
-     expenses tied to that meeting would indicate the sales order for the custom garden (which also
-     references the customer) as the :guilabel:`Customer to Reinvoice`.
-
-- :guilabel:`Analytic Distribution`: Select the account(s) the expense should be written against
-  from the drop-down menu for either :guilabel:`Projects`, :guilabel:`Departments`, or both.
-  Multiple accounts can be listed for each category if needed. Adjust the percentage for each
-  analytic account by typing in the percentage value next to the account.
-- :guilabel:`Company`: If multiple companies are set up, select the company this expense should be
-  filed for from the drop-down menu. The current company will automatically populate this field.
-- :guilabel:`Notes...`: If any notes are needed in order to clarify the expense, enter them in the
-  notes field.

-------------------------------------------

-Rather than manually inputting all of the information for an expense, expenses can be created by
-scanning a PDF receipt.
-
-First, in the main :guilabel:`Expenses` app dashboard view (this view can also be accessed from
-:menuselection:`Expenses app --> My Expenses --> My Expenses`), click :guilabel:`Scan`, and a file

-
-Automatically create new expenses from an email
------------------------------------------------
-
-Instead of individually creating each expense in the *Expenses* app, expenses can be automatically
-created by sending an email to an email alias.
-
-To do so, first, an email alias needs to be configured. Go to :menuselection:`Expenses app -->
-Configuration --> Settings`. Ensure :guilabel:`Incoming Emails` is enabled.

-(if available) and the amount of the expense in the email subject. Next, attach the receipt to the
-email. Odoo creates the expense by taking the information in the email subject and combining it with
-the receipt.
-
-To check an expense categories internal reference, go to :menuselection:`Expenses app -->
-Configuration --> Expense Categories`. If an internal reference is listed on the expense category,
-it is listed in the :guilabel:`Internal Reference` column.
-

-   be `FOOD $25.00`.
-
-   Explanation:
-
-   - The :guilabel:`Internal Reference` for the expense category `Meals` is `FOOD`
-   - The :guilabel:`Cost` for the expense is `$25.00`

-.. _expenses/report:
-
-Create an expense report
-========================
-
-When expenses are ready to submit (such as at the end of a business trip, or once a month), an
-*expense report* needs to be created. Go to the main :menuselection:`Expenses` app dashboard, which
-displays a default :guilabel:`My Expenses` view, or go to :menuselection:`Expenses app --> My
-Expenses --> My Expenses`.
-
-Expenses are color coded by status. Any expense with a status of :guilabel:`To Report` (expenses
-that still need to be added to an expense report) the text appears in blue. All other statuses
-(:guilabel:`To Submit`, :guilabel:`Submitted`, and :guilabel:`Approved`) the text appears in black.
-
-First, select each individual expense for the report by clicking the check box next to each entry,
-or quickly select all the expenses in the list by clicking the check box next to :guilabel:`Expense
-Date`.
-
-Another way to quickly add all expenses that are not on an expense report is to click
-:guilabel:`Create Report` without selecting any expenses, and Odoo will select all expenses with a
-status of :guilabel:`To Submit` that are not already on a report.
-
-.. image:: expenses/create-report.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: Select the expenses to submit, then create the report.
-
-.. note::
-   Any expense can be selected from the :guilabel:`My Expenses` list, regardless of status. The
-   :guilabel:`Create Report` button is visible as long as there is a minimum of 1 expense with a
-   status of :guilabel:`To Report` selected. When the :guilabel:`Create Report` button is clicked,
-   only expenses with a status of :guilabel:`To Submit` that are *not* currently on another expense
-   report will appear in the newly created expense report.
-
-Once the expenses have been selected, click the :guilabel:`Create Report` button. The new report
-appears with all the expenses listed in the :guilabel:`Expense` tab. If there is a receipt attached
-to an individual expense, a :guilabel:`📎 (paperclip)` icon appears next to the :guilabel:`Customer
-to Reinvoice` and :guilabel:`Analytic Distribution` columns.
-
-When the report is created, the date range for the expenses appears in the :guilabel:`Expense Report
-Summary` field by default. It is recommended to edit this field with a short summary for each report
-to help keep expenses organized. Enter a short description for the expense report (such as `Client
-Trip NYC`, or `Repairs for Company Car`) in the :guilabel:`Expense Report Summary` field. Next,
-select a :guilabel:`Manager` from the drop-down menu to assign a manager to review the report. If
-needed, the :guilabel:`Journal` can be changed. Use the drop-down menu to select a different
-:guilabel:`Journal`.
-
-.. image:: expenses/expense-report-summary.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: Enter a short description and select a manager for the report.
-
-If some expenses are not on the report that should be, they can still be added. Click :guilabel:`Add
-a line` at the bottom of the :guilabel:`Expense` tab. A pop up appears with all the available
-expenses that can be added to the report (with a status of :guilabel:`To Submit`). Click the check
-box next to each expense to add, then click :guilabel:`Select`. The items now appear on the report
-that was just created. If a new expense needs to be added that does *not* appear on the list, click
-:guilabel:`New` to create a new expense and add it to the report.
-
-.. image:: expenses/add-an-expense-line.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: Add more expenses to the report before submitting.
-
-.. note::
-   Expense reports can be created in one of three places:
-
-   #. Go to the main :menuselection:`Expenses` app dashboard (also accessed by going to
-      :menuselection:`Expenses app --> My Expenses --> My Expenses`)
-   #. Go to :menuselection:`Expenses app --> My Expenses --> My Reports`
-   #. Go to :menuselection:`Expenses app --> Expense Reports`
-
-   In any of these views, click :guilabel:`New` to create a new expense report.
-
-.. _expenses/submit:
-
-Submit an expense report
-------------------------
-
-When an expense report is completed, the next step is to submit the report to a manager for
-approval. Reports must be individually submitted, and cannot be submitted in batches. Open the
-specific report from the list of expense reports (if the report is not already open). To view all
-expense reports, go to :menuselection:`Expenses app --> My Expenses --> My Reports`.
-
-If the list is large, grouping the results by status may be helpful since only reports that have a
-:guilabel:`To Submit` status need to be submitted, reports with an :guilabel:`Approved` or
-:guilabel:`Submitted` status do not.
-
-The :guilabel:`To Submit` expenses are easily identifiable not just from the :guilabel:`To Submit`
-status, but the text appears in blue, while the other expenses text appears in black.
-
-.. image:: expenses/expense-status.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: Submit the report to the manager.
-
-.. note::
-   The status of each report is shown in the :guilabel:`Status` column on the right. If the
-   :guilabel:`Status` column is not visible, click the :guilabel:`Additional Options (two dots)`
-   icon at the end of the row, and enable :guilabel:`Status`.
-
-Click on a report to open it, then click :guilabel:`Submit To Manager`. After submitting a report,
-the next step is to wait for the manager to approve it.
-
-.. important::
-   The :ref:`expenses/approve`, :ref:`expenses/post`, and :ref:`expenses/reimburse` sections are
-   **only** for users with the *necessary rights*.
-
-.. _expenses/approve:
-
-Approve expenses
-================
-
-In Odoo, not just anyone can approve expense reports— only users with the necessary rights (or
-permissions) can. This means that a user must have at least *Team Approver* rights for the
-*Expenses* app. Employees with the necessary rights can review expense reports, approve or reject
-them, and provide feedback thanks to the integrated communication tool.
-
-To see who has rights to approve, go to the main :menuselection:`Settings` app and click on
-:guilabel:`Manage Users`.
-
-.. note::
-   If the *Settings* app is not available, then certain rights are not set on the account. Check the
-   :guilabel:`Access Rights` tab of a user's card in the :menuselection:`Settings` app. the
-   :guilabel:`Administration` section (bottom right of the :guilabel:`Access Rights` tab) is set to
-   one of three options:
-
-   - :guilabel:`None (blank)`: The user cannot access the *Settings* app at all.
-   - :guilabel:`Access Rights`: The user can only view the :guilabel:`User's & Companies` section of
-     the *Settings* app.
-   - :guilabel:`Settings`: The user has access to the entire *Settings* app with no restrictions.
-
-   Please refer to :doc:`this document </applications/general/users>` to learn more about managing
-   users and their access rights.
-
-Click on an individual to view their card, which displays the :guilabel:`Access Rights` tab in the
-default view. Scroll down to the :guilabel:`Human Resources` section. Under :guilabel:`Expenses`,
-there are four options:
-
-- :guilabel:`None (blank)`: A blank field means the user has no rights to view or approve expense
-  reports, and can only view their own.
-- :guilabel:`Team Approver`: The user can only view and approve expense reports for their own
-  specific team.
-- :guilabel:`All Approver`: The user can view and approve any expense report.
-- :guilabel:`Administrator`: The user can view and approve any expense report, as well as access the
-  reporting and configuration menus in the *Expenses* app.
-
-Users who are able to approve expense reports (typically managers) can easily view all expense
-reports they have access rights to. Go to :menuselection:`Expenses app --> Expense Reports`, and a
-list appears with all expense reports that have a status of either :guilabel:`To Submit`,
-:guilabel:`Submitted`, :guilabel:`Approved`, :guilabel:`Posted`, or :guilabel:`Done`. Expense
-reports with a status of :guilabel:`Refused` are hidden in the default view.
-
-.. image:: expenses/expense-reports-list.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: Reports to validate are found on the Reports to Approve page.
-
-When viewing expense reports, there is a panel of filters that can be enabled or disabled on the
-left side. The three categories that filters can be applied on are :guilabel:`Status`,
-:guilabel:`Employee`, and :guilabel:`Company`. To view only expense reports with a particular
-status, enable the specific status filter to display the expense reports with only that status.
-Disable the specific status filter to hide the reports with that status. To view expense reports for
-a particular employee and/or company, enable the specific employee name filter and/or company filter
-in the :guilabel:`Employee` and :guilabel:`Company` sections.
-
-Reports can be approved in two ways (individually or several at once) and refused only one way. To
-approve multiple expense reports at once, remain in the list view. First, select the reports to
-approve by clicking the check box next to each report, or click the box next to :guilabel:`Employee`
-to select all the reports in the list.
-
-.. important::
-   Only reports with a status of :guilabel:`Submitted` can be approved. It is recommended to only
-   display the submitted reports by adjusting the status filter on the left side by only having the
-   :guilabel:`Submitted` filter enabled.
-
-   If a report is selected that is unable to be approved, the :guilabel:`Approve Report` button
-   **will not appear**, indicating there is a problem with the selected report(s).
-
-Next, click the :guilabel:`Approve Report` button.
-
-.. image:: expenses/approve-report.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: Approve multiple reports by clicking the checkboxes next to each report.
-
-To approve an individual report, click on a report to go to a detailed view of that report. In this
-view, several options are presented: :guilabel:`Approve`, :guilabel:`Report in Next Payslip`,
-:guilabel:`Refuse`, or :guilabel:`Reset to draft`. Click :guilabel:`Approve` to approve the report.
-
-If :guilabel:`Refuse` is clicked, a pop-up window appears. Enter a brief explanation for the refusal
-in the :guilabel:`Reason to Refuse Expense` field, and then click :guilabel:`Refuse`.

-
-Team managers can easily view all the expense reports for their team members. While in the
-:guilabel:`Expense Reports` view, click the drop-down arrow in the right-side of the search box, and
-click on :guilabel:`My Team` in the :guilabel:`Filters` section. This presents all the reports for
-the manager's team.

-.. tip::
-   If more information is needed, such as a missing receipt, communication is easy from the chatter.
-   In an individual report, simply click :guilabel:`Send message` to open the message text box. Type
-   in a message, tagging the proper person (if needed), and post it to the chatter by clicking
-   :guilabel:`Send`. The message is posted in the chatter, and the person tagged will be notified
-   via email of the message, as well as any followers.
-
-   The only people that can be tagged in a message are *followers*. To see who is a follower, click
-   on the :guilabel:`👤 (person)` icon to display the followers of the expense.

-.. _expenses/post:
-
-Post expenses in accounting
-===========================
-
-Once an expense report is approved, the next step is to post the report to the accounting journal.
-To view all expense reports, go to :menuselection:`Expenses app --> Expense Reports`. To view only the
-expense reports that have been approved and need to be posted, adjust the filters on the left side
-so that only the :guilabel:`Approved` status is enabled.

-Payslip`, :guilabel:`Refuse`, or :guilabel:`Reset to Draft`. Click :guilabel:`Post Journal Entries`
-to post the report.
-
-If :guilabel:`Refuse` is clicked, a pop-up window appears. Enter a brief explanation for the refusal
-in the :guilabel:`Reason to Refuse Expense` field, and then click :guilabel:`Refuse`. Refused
-reports can be viewed by going to :menuselection:`Expenses app --> Expense Reports`, then adjusting
-the filters on the left so that only :guilabel:`Refused` is selected. This will only show the
-refused expense reports.
-
-.. important::
-   To post expense reports to an accounting journal, the user must have following access rights:
-
-   - Accounting: Accountant or Adviser
-   - Expenses: Manager
-
-.. _expenses/reimburse:
-
-Reimburse employees
-===================
-
-After an expense report is posted to an accounting journal, the next step is to reimburse the
-employee. To view all the expense reports to pay, go to :menuselection:`Expenses app --> Expense
-Reports --> Reports To Pay`.
-
-.. image:: expenses/reports-to-pay.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: View reports to pay by clicking on expense reports, then reports to pay.
-
-Just like approvals and posting, expense reports can be paid in two ways (individually or several at
-once). To pay multiple expense reports at once, remain in the list view. First, select the reports
-to pay by clicking the check box next to each report, or click the box next to :guilabel:`Employee`
-to select all the reports in the list. Next, click :guilabel:`Register Payment`.
-
-.. image:: expenses/register-payment.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: Post multiple reports by selecting them, clicking the gear, and then post the entries.
-
-To pay an individual report, click on a report to go to a detailed view of that report. Click
-:guilabel:`Register Payment` to pay the employee.
-
-A :guilabel:`Register Payment` pop-up appears, and the :guilabel:`Journal`, :guilabel:`Payment
-Method`, and :guilabel:`Payment Date` can be modified, if needed. When the selections are correct,
-click :guilabel:`Create Payment` to send the payment to the employee.
-
-To pay an individual report, click on a report in the list view to go to a detailed view of that
-report. Click :guilabel:`Register Payment` to pay the employee. A :guilabel:`Register Payment`
-pop-up appears, but when paying an individual expense report instead of several at once, more
-options appear in the pop-up. In addition to the :guilabel:`Journal`, :guilabel:`Payment Method`,
-and :guilabel:`Payment Date` fields, a :guilabel:`Recipient Bank Account`, :guilabel:`Amount`, and
-:guilabel:`Memo` field appear. Select the employee's bank account from the drop-down menu to

-   :align: center
-   :alt: Different options appear when registering an individual expense report versus multiple
-         expense reports at once.
-
-Re-invoice expenses to customers
-================================
-
-If expenses are tracked on customer projects, expenses can be automatically charged back to the
-customer. This is done by creating an expense, referencing the :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)` the expense
-should be added to, and then creating the expense report. Next, managers approve the expense report,
-and the accounting department posts the journal entries. Finally, once the expense report is posted
-to a journal, the expense(s) appears on the :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)` that was referenced. The sales
-order can then be invoiced, thus invoicing the customer for the expense.
-
-Setup
------
-
-First, specify the invoicing policy for each expense category. Go to :menuselection:`Expenses app
---> Configuration --> Expense Categories`. Click on the expense category to open the expense
-category form. Under the :guilabel:`Invoicing` section, click the radio button next to the desired
-selection for :guilabel:`Re-Invoicing Expenses`. Options are :guilabel:`None`, :guilabel:`At cost`,
-and :guilabel:`Sales price`.
-
-:guilabel:`Re-Invoicing Expenses`:
-
-- :guilabel:`None`: Expense category will not be re-invoiced.
-- :guilabel:`At cost`: Expense category will invoice expenses at their real cost.
-- :guilabel:`At sales price`: Expense category will invoice the price set on the sale order.
-
-Create an expense
------------------
-
-First, when :ref:`creating a new expense <expenses/new>`, the correct information needs to be
-entered in order to re-invoice a customer. Select the *sales order* the expense will appear on in
-the :guilabel:`Customer to Reinvoice` section, from the drop-down menu. Next, select the
-:guilabel:`Analytic Account` the expense will be posted to. After the expense(s) are created, the
-expense report needs to be :ref:`created <expenses/report>` and :ref:`submitted <expenses/submit>`
-as usual.
-
-.. image:: expenses/reinvoice-expense.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: Ensure the customer to be invoiced is called out on the expense.
-
-.. important::
-   Selecting a :guilabel:`Customer to Reinvoice` when creating an expense is critical, since this is
-   what causes the expenses to be automatically invoiced after an expense report is approved.
-
-   The :guilabel:`Customer to Reinvoice` field can be modified *until an expense report is*
-   **approved**, then the field is no longer able to be modified.
-
-Validate and post expenses
---------------------------
-
-Only employees with permissions (typically managers or supervisors) can :ref:`approve expenses
-<expenses/approve>`. Before approving an expense report, ensure the :guilabel:`Analytic
-Distribution` is set on every expense line of a report. If an :guilabel:`Analytic Distribution` is
-missing, assign the correct account(s) from the drop-down menu, and then click :guilabel:`Approve`
-or :guilabel:`Refuse`.
-
-The accounting department is typically responsible for :ref:`posting journal entries
-<expenses/post>`. Once an expense report is approved, it can then be posted. The :abbr:`SO (Sales
-Order)` is **only** updated *after the journal entries are posted*. One the journal entries are
-posted, the expenses now appear on the referenced :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)`.
-
-Invoice expenses
-----------------
-
-Once the :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)` has been updated, it is time to invoice the customer. After the
-expense report has been approved and the journal entries have been posted, click the
-:guilabel:`Sales Orders` smart button to open the :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)`. The expenses to be
-re-invoiced are now on the :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)`.
-
-.. image:: expenses/sales-order.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: After the expense report is posted to the journal entry, the sales order can be called up
-         by clicking on the sales order number.
-
-.. note::
-   More than one :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)` can be referenced on an expense report. If more than one
-   :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)` is referenced, the :guilabel:`Sales Orders` smart button will list the
-   number of :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)`'s. If multiple :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)`'s are listed, the
-   :guilabel:`Sales Orders` smart button opens a list view of all the :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)`'s on
-   the expense report. Click on a :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)` to open the individual :abbr:`SO (Sales
-   Order)`.
-
-The expenses are listed in the :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)` :guilabel:`Order Lines` tab.
-
-.. image:: expenses/so-details.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: See the expenses listed on the sales order after clicking into it.
-
-Next, click :guilabel:`Create Invoice`, and select if the invoice is for a :guilabel:`Regular
-invoice`, a :guilabel:`Down payment (percentage)`, or a :guilabel:`Down payment (fixed amount)` by
-clicking the radio button next to it. Then, click :guilabel:`Create Invoice`. The customer has now
-been invoiced for the expenses.
