Introduction

The Odoo Multi-Level Deferred Accounts module offers a significant enhancement to Odoo's standard deferred revenue and expense management capabilities. While Odoo typically uses a single, global account for all deferrals, this module provides the flexibility to assign distinct deferred accounts at a more granular level. You can now configure specific deferred revenue and expense accounts directly on individual products or even on specific invoice lines. This allows for a more precise and automated accounting workflow, ensuring that your financial statements accurately reflect the deferred revenue and expenses associated with different products or services.

Key Features

• Product-Specific Deferred Accounts: Assign unique deferred revenue and expense accounts directly on the product form.

• Invoice Line Customization: Override default settings by selecting a specific deferred account for individual invoice or bill lines.

• Intelligent Account Prioritization: The system automatically uses the most specific account available, starting from the invoice line, then the product, and finally reverting to the company-wide default.

• Seamless Integration: Works perfectly with Odoo's native deferred revenue and expense functionalities.

• Automated Journal Entries: The module ensures that the correct, specified deferred accounts are used when generating deferral journal entries.

• User-Friendly Configuration: Easily set up product-specific accounts through the standard product accounting tab.

Benefits

• Enhanced Financial Accuracy: Achieve more precise financial reporting by tracking deferred revenues and expenses at the product level.
