Since odoo/documentation#903, the guideline for the location of new resource (images, downloadable files, RST includes...) files is to place those inside the directory of the RST page that references them. For example, if `doc1.rst` has a reference to `image.png` and to `download.zip`, the file structure should look like this: ├── parent_doc/ │ └── doc1/ │ │ └── image.png │ │ └── download.zip │ └── doc1.rst │ └── doc2.rst ├── parent_doc.rst Before this commit, most of the resource files were still located inside 'media' directories holding all the resource files referenced by RST pages located at the same level as these directories. In the example above, a single 'media' directory would hold all the resource files referenced by both `doc1.rst` and `doc2.rst`. Doing so prevented us from figuring out easily which resource file was referenced by which RST page and, thus, lead to unused resource files piling up in the repository. It also made it more complicated to define codeowners regex rules because a team could not simply be assigned to `/some_page.*` but needed to be assigned to both `/some_page\.rst` and to the location of 'media'. In order to help new content writers figure out the guideline when taking examples from other RST pages, this commit retroactively applies the guideline to existing resource files and 'media' directories. The left-over resource files that are not referenced by any RST page are removed. task-2497965 Part-of: odoo/documentation#2067

Manage a bank in a foreign currency
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
In Odoo, every transaction is recorded in the default currency of the
|
|
company. Reports are all based on the currency of the company. But 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.
|
|
|
|
When you have a bank account in a foreign currencies, for every
|
|
transaction, Odoo stores two values:
|
|
|
|
- The debit/credit in the currency of the company
|
|
|
|
- The debit/credit in the currency of the bank account
|
|
|
|
Currency rates are updated automatically using yahoo.com, or the
|
|
European Central bank web-services.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Activate the multi-currency feature
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to allow your company to work with multiple currencies, you
|
|
should activate the multi-currency mode. In the accounting application,
|
|
go into :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings --> Accounting & Finance Features`
|
|
make sure the **Allow Multi-currencies** box is ticked. Provide
|
|
a **Currency Exchange Gain / Loss** account, then click on **Apply**.
|
|
|
|
Configure currencies
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Once the Odoo is configured to support multiple currencies, you should
|
|
activate the currencies you plan to work with. To do that, go to the menu
|
|
:menuselection:`Configuration --> Currencies`. All the currencies are created by default,
|
|
but you should activate the ones you plan to support (to activate a
|
|
currency, check its "Active" field).
|
|
|
|
After having activated the currencies, you can configure the parameters
|
|
to automate the currency rate update. These options are also in the
|
|
settings of the Accounting application, in the bottom of the page:
|
|
|
|

|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Click on the **Update Now** link to update the currency rates now.
|
|
|
|
Create a new bank account
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
In the accounting application, we first go to :menuselection:`Configuration -->
|
|
Accounting / Bank account`, and we create a new one.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: foreign_currency/foreign02.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Once you save this bank account, Odoo will create all the documents for
|
|
you:
|
|
|
|
- An account in the trial balance
|
|
|
|
- A journal in your dashboard
|
|
|
|
- Information about the bank account in the footer of your invoices if
|
|
checked the box **Show in Invoices Footer**
|
|
|
|
Example: A vendor bill in a foreign currency
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
Based on the above example, let's assume we receive the following bill
|
|
from a supplier in China.
|
|
|
|
In the :menuselection:`Purchase --> Vendor Bills` , this is what you could see:
|
|
|
|
.. image:: foreign_currency/foreign03.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Once you are ready to pay this bill, click on register payment on the
|
|
bill to record a payment.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: foreign_currency/foreign04.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
That's all you have to do. Odoo will automatically post the foreign
|
|
exchange gain or loss at the reconciliation of the payment with the
|
|
invoice, depending if the currency rate increased or decreased between
|
|
the invoice and the payment date.
|
|
|
|
Note that you can pay a foreign bill with another currency. In such a
|
|
case, Odoo will automatically convert between the two currencies.
|
|
|
|
Customers Statements
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Customers and vendor statements are managed in the currency of the
|
|
invoice. So, the amount due by your customer (to your vendor) is always
|
|
expressed in the currency of the invoice.
|
|
|
|
If you have several invoices with different currencies for the same
|
|
customer, Odoo will split the customer statement by currency, as shown
|
|
in the report below.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: foreign_currency/foreign05.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
In the above report, the account receivable associated to Camptocamp is
|
|
not managed in a secondary currency, which means that it keeps every
|
|
transaction in its own currency. If you prefer, you can set the account
|
|
receivable for this customer in a secondary currency and all its debts
|
|
will automatically be converted to this currency.
|
|
|
|
In such a case, the customer statement always has only one currency. In
|
|
general, this is not what the customer expect as he prefers to see the
|
|
amounts in the currency of the invoices he received;
