    How to configure VAT settings[back]

    VAT settings have to be matched within Odoo and Procountor for these to work correctly. Procountor settings are fetched from Procountor by Fetch VAT setting functionality in Procountor connection settings.

  • Procountor VAT status specified for Fiscal Position will effect on invoice level. If VAT statuses for invoice lines are needed they has to specified per tax rate. This is normally the case with EU goods and services.
  • If the company pays taxes to different countries than its own then Procountor VAT country has to be specified. When VAT country is different than company's then only Domestic VAT status is allowed.
  • something wrong with module.template.image record

    Taxes

  • If Procountor VAT statuses are needed per invoice row, these have to be specified in Taxes -> Advanced tab.
  • This is normally the case with EU goods and services.

    How to configure Payment state [back]

    In case the Odoo Accounting module is used instead of the Invoicing module, there is an additional payment state "In Payment" that should be bypassed since it does not make any sense to use it with the Procountor connector. something wrong with module.template.image record Setting the Incoming and Outgoing payments accounts to the same on the used bank journal makes Odoo directly use the "Paid" status, which is more clear.

    How to import Procountor customers[back]

    If customer information is also needed in Procountor, then the create customers option should be used. Before starting to use this function customers in Procountor have to be imported to Odoo as partners. Alternatively, if some of the customers already exits in Odoo then Procountor ID has to be updated for these. These can be fetched using the Fetch Procountor Customers functionality.

    Fetch Customers

  • Fetch customers functionality will fetch all the customers from Procountor whose Procountor ID doesn't exist for partners in Odoo

  • How to import Procountor products[back]

  • Sending sales invoices and credit notes[back]

    Invoices and credit notes can be sent one by one or by sending all unsent. These can be sent to Procountor only once. If there are changes to invoice or credit note it cannot be resent / updated. These situations have to be handled manually.

    To send one invoice or credit note you can use the Send to Procountor button in invoice/credit note view.

    To send multiple invoices or credit notes to Procountor you can use the invoice or credit note list view. Select which invoices/notes you want to send and select Action -> Send selected invoices to Procountor- There is also ready made filter Not sent to Procountor which can be used to send all not sent invoices.

    Fetching payments [back]

    Fetching payments can be done for one invoice, multiple invoices or run as a Scheduled action. Only positive payments are fetched. Fetching doesn't handle special cases that can be done in Procountor. For example removing payment etc., these situations have to be handled manually. After invoice has been marked as paid in Odoo no payment information is fetched for it.

    For the payment fetching to work Journals have to be created in Odoo. One journal of type Bank and another with type Cash. These will be used when importing payments.

    To fetch payment for one invoice use the Fetch Procountor payments button in invoice view. The button will be available if invoice has been successfully sent to Procountor.

    To fetch payments for multiple invoices invoice list can be used. Select the invoices for which you want to fetch payments for and select Action -> Fetch Procountor Payments.

    The Scheduled action fetches payments for all the invoices that have been sent to Procountor but are not yet paid.

    Fetching vendor bills [back]

    With normal Process with external accounting, vendor bills are managed in Procountor (accepting bills, paymemts).

    However, sometimes it is useful to have vendor billd imported to Odoo as well, usually for reporting purposes. E.g. if you want to report project profitability on Odoo side, you need external costs to be visible also in Odoo, as costs on a project.

    For this purpose, functionality for fetching accepted vendor bills to Odoo is available in Connector. To import bills you need to activate transfer in Connector settings and select a Journal into which the vendor bills are imported. Please note that accounts must match on each side. Connector gets the bill line accounts from the Procountor Ledger information and if same accounts don't exist in Odoo, the transfer fails.
