From Invoice to Payment Collection
33
==================================
44

5-
Odoo provides you easy flow to process various invoices easily and
6-
collecting its payment with easy steps.
5+
Odoo supports multiple invoicing and payment workflows, so you can
6+
choose and use the ones that match your business needs. Whether you want
7+
to accept a single payment for a single invoice, or process a payment
8+
spanning multiple invoices and taking discounts for early payments, you
9+
can do so efficiently and accurately.
10+
11+
From Draft Invoice to Profit and Loss
12+
=====================================
13+
14+
If we pick up at the end of a typical 'order to cash' scenario, after
15+
the goods have been shipped, you will: issue an invoice; receive
16+
payment; deposit that payment at the bank; make sure the Customer
17+
Invoice is closed; follow up if Customers are late; and finally present
18+
your Income on the Profit and Loss report and show the decrease in
19+
Assets on the Balance Sheet report.
20+
21+
Invoicing in most countries occurs when a contractual obligation is met.
22+
If you ship a box to a customer, you have met the terms of the contract
23+
and can bill them. If your supplier sends you a shipment, they have met
24+
the terms of that contract and can bill you. Therefore, the terms of the
25+
contract is fulfilled when the box moves to or from the truck. At this
26+
point, Odoo supports the creation of what is called a Draft Invoice by
27+
Warehouse staff.
28+
29+
Invoice creation
30+
================
31+
32+
Draft invoices can be manually generated from other documents such as
33+
Sales Orders, Purchase Orders,etc. Although you can create a draft
34+
invoice directly if you would like.
35+
36+
An invoice must be provided to the customer with the necessary
37+
information in order for them to pay for the goods and services ordered
38+
and delivered. It must also include other information needed to pay the
39+
invoice in a timely and precise manner.
40+
41+
Draft invoices
42+
==============
43+
44+
The system generates invoice which are initially set to the Draft state.
45+
While these invoices
46+
47+
remain unvalidated, they have no accounting impact within the system.
48+
There is nothing to stop users from creating their own draft invoices.
49+
50+
Let's create a customer invoice with following information:
51+
52+
- Customer: Agrolait
53+
- Product: iMac
54+
- Quantity: 1
55+
- Unit Price: 100
56+
- Taxes: Tax 15%
57+
58+

59+
:align: center
60+
61+
.. image:: ./media/invoice02.png
62+
:align: center
63+
64+
The document is composed of three parts:
65+
66+
- the top of the invoice, with customer information,
67+
- the main body of the invoice, with detailed invoice lines,
68+
- the bottom of the page, with detail about the taxes, and the totals.
69+
70+
Open or Pro-forma invoices
71+
==========================
72+
73+
An invoice will usually include the quantity and price the of goods
74+
and/or services, the date, any parties involved, the unique invoice
75+
number, and any tax information.
76+
77+
"Validate" the invoice when you are ready to approve it. The invoice
78+
then moves from the Draft state to the Open state.
79+
80+
When you have validated an invoice, Odoo gives it a unique number from a
81+
defined, and modifiable, sequence.
82+
83+
.. image:: ./media/invoice03.png
84+
:align: center
85+
86+
Accounting entries corresponding to this invoice are automatically
87+
generated when you validate the invoice. You can see the details by
88+
clicking on the entry in the Journal Entry field in the "Other Info"
89+
tab.
90+
91+
.. image:: ./media/invoice04.png
92+
:align: center
93+
94+
Send the invoice to customer
95+
============================
96+
97+
After validating the customer invoice, you can directly send it to the
98+
customer via the 'Send by email' functionality.
99+
100+
.. image:: ./media/invoice05.png
101+
:align: center
102+
103+
A typical journal entry generated from a validated invoice will look
104+
like as follows:
105+
106+
+-----------------------+---------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
107+
| **Account** | **Partner** | **Due date** | **Debit** | **Credit** |
108+
+=======================+===============+================+=============+==============+
109+
| Accounts Receivable | Agrolait | 01/07/2015 | 115 | |
110+
+-----------------------+---------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
111+
| Taxes | Agrolait | | | 15 |
112+
+-----------------------+---------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
113+
| Sales | | | | 100 |
114+
+-----------------------+---------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
115+
116+
Payment
117+
=======
118+
119+
In Odoo, an invoice is considered to be paid when the associated
120+
accounting entry has been reconciled with the payment entries. If there
121+
has not been a reconciliation, the invoice will remain in the Open state
122+
until you have entered the payment.
123+
124+
A typical journal entry generated from a payment will look like as
125+
follows:
126+
127+
+-----------------------+---------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
128+
| **Account** | **Partner** | **Due date** | **Debit** | **Credit** |
129+
+=======================+===============+================+=============+==============+
130+
| Bank | Agrolait | | 115 | |
131+
+-----------------------+---------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
132+
| Accounts Receivable | Agrolait | | | 115 |
133+
+-----------------------+---------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
134+
135+
Receive a partial payment through the bank statement
136+
====================================================
137+
138+
You can manually enter your bank statements in Odoo, or you can import
139+
them in from a csv file or from several other predefined formats
140+
according to your accounting localisation.
141+
142+
Create a bank statement from the accounting dashboard with the related
143+
journal and enter an amount of $100 .
144+
145+

147+
148+
Reconcile
149+
=========
150+
151+
Now let's reconcile!
152+
153+
.. image:: ./media/invoice07.png
154+
:align: center
155+
156+
You can now go through every transaction and reconcile them or you can mass reconcile with instructions at the bottom.
157+
158+
After reconciling the items in the sheet, the related invoice will now
159+
display "You have outstanding payments for this customer. You can
160+
reconcile them to pay this invoice. "
161+
162+
.. image:: ./media/invoice08.png
163+
:align: center
164+
165+
.. image:: ./media/invoice09.png
166+
:align: center
167+
168+
Apply the payment. Below, you can see that the payment has been added to
169+
the invoice.
170+
171+

172+

173+
174+
Payment Followup
175+
================
176+
177+
There's a growing trend of customers paying bills later and later.
178+
Therefore, collectors must make every effort to collect money and
179+
collect it faster.
180+
181+
Odoo will help you define your follow-up strategy. To remind customers
182+
to pay their outstanding invoices, you can define different actions
183+
depending on how severely overdue the customer is. These actions are
184+
bundled into follow-up levels that are triggered when the due date of an
185+
invoice has passed a certain number of days. If there are other overdue
186+
invoices for the same customer, the actions of the most overdue invoice
187+
will be executed.
188+
189+
By going to the customer record and diving into the "Overdue Payments"
190+
you will see the follow-up message and all overdue invoices.
191+

198+
Customer aging report:
199+
----------------------
200+
201+
The customer aging report will be an additional key tool for the
202+
collector to understand the customer credit issues, and to prioritize
203+
their work.
204+
205+
Use the aging report to determine which customers are overdue and begin
206+
your collection efforts.
207+

210+
211+
Profit and loss
212+
===============
213+
214+
The Profit and Loss statement displays your revenue and expense details.
215+
Ultimately, this gives you a clear image of your Net Profit and Loss. It
216+
is sometimes referred to as the "Income Statement" or "Statement of
217+
Revenues and Expenses."
218+
219+
.. image:: ./media/invoice14.png
220+
:align: center
221+
222+
Balance sheet
223+
=============
224+
225+
The balance sheet summarizes the your company's liabilities,
226+
assets and equity at a specific moment in time.
227+
228+
.. image:: ./media/invoice15.png
229+
:align: center
230+
231+
.. image:: ./media/invoice16.png
232+
:align: center
233+
234+
For example, if you manage your inventory using the perpetual accounting
235+
method, you should expect a decrease in account "Current Assets" once
236+
the material has been shipped to the customer.
