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

Forecast future bills to pay
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
When you get hundreds of vendor bills per month with each of them having
|
|
different payment terms, it could be complex to follow what you have to
|
|
pay and when. Paying your vendors too early can decrease your cash
|
|
availabilities and paying too late can lead to extra charges.
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, Odoo provides you the right tools to manage payment orders
|
|
to vendors efficiently.
|
|
|
|
Configuration: payment terms
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
In order to track the vendor conditions, we use payment terms in Odoo.
|
|
Payment terms allow to keep track of the conditions to compute the due
|
|
date on an invoice. As an example, a payment term can be:
|
|
|
|
- 50% within 30 days
|
|
|
|
- 50% within 45 days
|
|
|
|
To create your most common payment terms, use the menu: :menuselection:`Configuration -->
|
|
Management --> Payment Terms` in the **Accounting** application. The following
|
|
example show a payment term of 30% directly and the balance after 30
|
|
days.

|
Once payment terms are defined, you can assign them to your vendor by
|
|
default. Set the Vendor Payment Term field on the Accounting tab of a
|
|
vendor form. That way, every time you will purchase to this vendor, Odoo
|
|
will propose you automatically the right payment term.

|
|
|
|
If you do not set a specific payment term on a vendor, you will still be
|
|
able to set a specific payment term on the vendor bill.

Forecast bills to pay with the Aged Payables report
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
In order to track amounts to be paid to the vendors, use the Aged
|
|
Payable report. You can get it from the Reports menu of the Accounting
|
|
application. This report gives you a summary per vendor of the amounts
|
|
to pay, compared to their due date (the due date being computed on each
|
|
bill using the payment term).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
This reports tells you how much you will have to pay within the next
|
|
months.
|
|
|
|
Select bills to pay
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Using the menu :menuselection:`Purchases --> Vendor Bills`, you can get a list of vendor
|
|
bills. Using the advanced filters, you can list all the bills that you
|
|
should pay or the bills that are overdue (you are late on the payment).

From this screen, you can also switch to the pivot table or the graph
|
|
view to get statistics on the amount due over the next month, using the
|
|
group by "Due Date" feature.
