Offset AR and AP with one governed workflow

Net open customer invoices against vendor bills for the same partner — with a settlement preview, an approval workflow, and a compliance evidence pack, all inside Odoo.

The problem

Accountants who both sell to and buy from the same partner end up paying one invoice and collecting another when the balances could simply offset. Doing it in stock Odoo means manually opening Journal Entries, hand-picking the right receivable and payable items, and reconciling the pieces one by one — slow, error-prone, and painful once advances, partial settlements, or multiple currencies are involved.

The solution

Cerevantix AR/AP Netting & Compensation auto-populates every open receivable and payable for a partner, shows a full settlement preview before anything posts, and walks the netting through an optional approval step. A candidates dashboard surfaces nettable balances across all partners, and a governed closed-period path allows controlled postings into a locked period with a documented reason and an auditable evidence pack.

Capabilities

Everything you need to net AR/AP cleanly

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

One-Click Open Items

Auto-populate all open customer invoices and vendor bills for a partner at a chosen date — no manual Journal Entries navigation or item hunting.

02

Settlement Preview

Review the exact items, offset amounts, and residual balance before posting, so nothing hits the ledger by surprise.

03

Per-Line Partial Settlement

Net only part of an invoice or bill and choose the exact amount to settle on each line, not just full-item offsets.

04

Netting Candidates Dashboard

A ranked worklist of partners with simultaneous open AR and AP, showing the maximum amount that could be netted for each.

05

Batch Netting Wizard

Process netting for multiple partners in a single guided run instead of repeating the workflow one partner at a time.

06

Partner Quick Netting

A Net AR/AP stat button right on the partner form opens that partner's netting in one click.

07

Approval Workflow

Route a netting to a manager for Approve & Post or Reject before it affects the ledger, with the status visible on the record.

08

Governed Closed-Period Posting

Post into a locked accounting period only through a controlled path that captures an unlock reason and flags the record for compliance.

09

Compliance Evidence Pack

Generate a PDF report documenting who settled what, when, and for how much — backed by a full chatter audit trail on every netting.
