Use cases in the bank reconciliation process?
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Linking your bank statements with your accounting can be a lot of work.
|
|
You need to find invoices back, relate payments and that amount of
|
|
administration can cast a lot of time. Luckily, with Odoo you can very
|
|
easily link your invoices or any other payment with your bank
|
|
statements.
|
|
|
|
Two reconciliation processes exist in Odoo.
|
|
|
|
1. We can directly register a payment on the invoices
|
|
2. We can reconcile open invoices with bank statements
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
No special configuration is necessary to register invoices. All we need
|
|
to do is install the accounting app.

User cases
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Case 1: Payments registration
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
We received the payment proof for our invoice of 2100 euros issued to
|
|
Smith & Co.
|
|
|
|
We start at our issued Invoice of 2100 euros for Smith & Co. Because the
|
|
sold product is a service we demand an immediate payment. Our accountant
|
|
only handles the bank statements at the end of week, so we have to mark
|
|
the invoice as paid so we can remember we can start the service with our
|
|
customer.
|
|
|
|
Our customer send us a payment confirmation. We can thus register a
|
|
payment and mark the invoice as paid.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
By clicking on **register payment,** we are telling Odoo that our
|
|
customer paid the Invoice. We thus have to specify the amount and the
|
|
payment method
|
|
|
|
.. image:: media/use03.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
We can always find the payment back from the Invoice by clicking on the
|
|
:menuselection:`Info --> Open Payment`.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: media/use04.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
The invoice has been paid and **the reconciliation has been done
|
|
automatically.**
|
|
|
|
Case 2: Bank statements reconciliations
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
We start at our issued Invoice of 3000 euros for Smith & Co. Let's also
|
|
assume that other Invoices are open for different customers.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: media/use05.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
We receive our bank statement and not only the invoice of Smith & Co has
|
|
been paid, the one of Buzz of 92 euros as well.
|
|
|
|
**Import** or **Create** the bank statements. Please refer to the
|
|
documents from the Bank Feeds section.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
On the dashboard, click on **Reconcile # Items**
|
|
|
|
.. image:: media/use07.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
If everything was right (correct partner name, right amount) odoo will
|
|
do the reconciliations **automatically**.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: media/use08.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
If some issues are found, you will need to take **manual actions**.
|
|
|
|
For example, if the partner is missing from your bank statement, just
|
|
fill it in :
|
|
|
|

|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
If the payment is done with a down payment, just check if it is all
|
|
right and validate all related payments :
