Estimated reading: 2 minutes 302 views

Odoo Accounting brings invoicing, payments, bank reconciliation and financial reporting together in one system, suited to businesses of any size that want fewer manual tasks and clearer visibility of their finances.

Chart of accounts

The chart of accounts categorises every financial transaction. Go to Accounting > Configuration > Chart of Accounts to import an existing structure or create accounts organised by category: assets, liabilities, income, expenses and equity.

Customer invoices

Go to Accounting > Customers > Invoices and click Create to add customer details, product or service lines and payment terms. Invoices can carry the company logo and branding, be sent by email or downloaded as PDF, and their status (draft, sent, paid, overdue) is tracked in real time.

Vendor bills and payments

Record bills received from suppliers under Accounting > Vendors > Bills. Document digitisation can extract details from a scanned bill automatically, and payments can be scheduled or matched against bills for a clear audit trail.

Bank synchronisation and reconciliation

Connect a bank account to import transactions automatically. Odoo suggests matches between transactions and existing invoices, bills or expenses, and multiple transactions can be reconciled in batches, with a real-time cash flow view.

Financial reports

Go to Accounting > Reporting for key reports:

  • Profit and Loss Statement: income and expenses over a period.
  • Balance Sheet: a snapshot of assets, liabilities and equity.
  • Aged Receivables and Payables: outstanding customer invoices and vendor bills by due date.
