Payments
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
In Odoo, payments can either be linked automatically to an invoice or bill or be stand-alone records
|
|
for use at a later date.
|
|
|
|
If a payment is **linked to an invoice or bill**, it reduces the amount due of the invoice. You can
|
|
have multiple payments related to the same invoice.
|
|
|
|
If a payment is **not linked to an invoice or bill**, the customer has an outstanding credit with
|
|
your company, or your company has an outstanding debit with a vendor. You can use those outstanding
|
|
amounts to reduce unpaid invoices/bills.

Registering payment from an invoice or bill
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
When clicking on :guilabel:`Register payment` in a customer invoice or vendor bill, it generates a
|
|
new journal entry and changes the amount due according to the amount of the payment. The counterpart
|
|
is reflected in an outstanding receipts or payments account. At this point, the customer invoice or
|
|
vendor bill is marked as :guilabel:`In payment`. Then, when the outstanding account is reconciled
|
|
with a bank statement line, the invoice or vendor bill changes to the :guilabel:`Paid` status.
|
|
|
|
The information icon near the payment line displays more information about the payment. You can
|
|
access additional information, such as the related journal, by clicking on :guilabel:`View`.

|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
- The customer invoice or vendor bill should be in the status :guilabel:`Posted` to register the
|
|
payment.
|
|
- When clicking on :guilabel:`Register payment`, you can select the amount to pay and make a
|
|
partial or full payment.
|
|
- If your main bank account is set as :ref:`outstanding account
|
|
<bank/outstanding-accounts>`, and the payment is made in Odoo (not related to a
|
|
bank statement), invoices and bills are directly registered in the status :guilabel:`Paid`.
|
|
- If you unreconciled a payment, it still appears in your books but is no longer linked to the
|
|
invoice.
|
|
- If you (un)reconcile a payment in a different currency, a journal entry is automatically
|
|
created to post the currency exchange gains/losses (reversal) amount.
|
|
- If you (un)reconcile a payment and an invoice having cash basis taxes, a journal entry is
|
|
automatically created to post the cash basis tax (reversal) amount.

Registering payments not tied to an invoice or bill
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
When a new payment is registered via the menu :menuselection:`Customers / Vendors --> Payments`, it
|
|
is not directly linked to an invoice or bill. Instead, the account receivable or the account payable
|
|
are matched with the outstanding account until they are manually matched with their related invoice
|
|
or bill.
|
|
|
|
Matching invoices and bills with payments
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
A blue banner appears when you validate a new invoice or bill and there is an outstanding payment
|
|
for this specific customer or vendor. It can easily be matched from the invoice or the bill by
|
|
clicking on :guilabel:`ADD` under :guilabel:`Outstanding Credits` or :guilabel:`Outstanding Debits`.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: payments/add-option.png
|
|
:alt: Shows the ADD option to reconcile an invoice or a bill with a payment
|
|
|
|
The invoice or bill is now marked as :guilabel:`In payment` until it is reconciled with the bank
|
|
statement.

Batch payment
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Batch payments allow you to group different payments to ease :doc:`reconciliation
|
|
<bank/reconciliation>`. They are also useful when you deposit checks to the bank or
|
|
for SEPA Payments. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Customers --> Batch Payments` or
|
|
:menuselection:`Accounting --> Vendors --> Batch Payments`. In the list view of payments, you can
|
|
select several payments and group them in a batch by clicking on :menuselection:`Action --> Create
|
|
Batch Payment`.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Payments matching
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The :guilabel:`Payments matching` tool opens all unreconciled customer invoices or vendor bills and
|
|
gives you the opportunity to process them all one by one, doing the matching of all their payments
|
|
and invoices at once. You can reach this tool from the :menuselection:`Accounting Dashboard -->
|
|
Customer Invoices / Vendor Bills`, and click on :guilabel:`⋮` and select :guilabel:`Payments
|
|
Matching`, or by going to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Reconciliation`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
During the :doc:`reconciliation <bank/reconciliation>`, if the sum of the debits
|
|
and credits does not match, there is a remaining balance. This either needs to be reconciled at a
|
|
later date or needs to be written off directly.
|
|
|
|
Batch payments matching
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
To reconcile several outstanding payments or invoices at once, for a specific customer or vendor,
|
|
the batch reconciliation feature can be used. Go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Reporting -->
|
|
Aged Receivable / Aged Payable`. You now see all transactions that have not been reconciled yet, and
|
|
when you select a customer or vendor, the :guilabel:`Reconcile` option is displayed.
|

|
|
|
|
Reconciling payments with bank statements
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
Once a payment has been registered, the status of the invoice or bill is :guilabel:`In payment`. The
|
|
next step is to reconcile it with the related bank statement line to have the transaction finalized
|
|
and the invoice or bill marked as :guilabel:`Paid`.
