Bank reconciliation process - use cases
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Matching your bank statements with your accounting records can be a tedious task. You need to find the corresponding invoices, compare the amounts and partners' details with those in the bank statement. These steps can take a lot of time. Luckily, with Odoo you can very easily match your invoices or any other payment document with your bank statements.
|
|
|
|
Two options of the reconciliation process exist in Odoo.
|
|
|
|
1. We can directly specify the payment on the invoice
|
|
2. We can reconcile open invoices with bank statements
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
No special configuration is necessary to record invoices. All we need
|
|
to do is to install the accounting app.

Use cases
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Case 1: Payments registration
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
We received the proof of payment of our invoice in the amount 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 bank statements at the end of week, so we have to mark
|
|
this invoice as paid immediately in order to indicate that we can start rendering services to 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 has paid the Invoice. We thus have to specify the amount and the
|
|
payment method.
|
|
|
|

|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Now we can always find the payment details in 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 find that not only the invoice issued to Smith & Co has
|
|
been paid, but the one to 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**.
|
|
|
|

|
|
: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 :
|
|
|
|

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