Turn payroll into a bank-ready payment advice

One-click generation of formal, bank-facing payment advice documents from finalized payslip batches — grouped by bank, validated before submission, with an approval workflow, PDF and Excel output, and email delivery.

The problem

Finalizing a payslip batch is only half the job — payroll teams still have to hand-build bank-facing advice documents, re-key IBANs into spreadsheets, and hope nothing is missing before the file reaches the bank. Missing account details surface only at submission, there is no single trustworthy total to reconcile, and no record of what was sent where.

The solution

Payroll Bank Advice turns a closed payslip batch into a validated, bank-ready advice in one click. Employees are grouped by receiving bank, missing or invalid accounts are flagged before generation, and every advice moves through a visible approval workflow with PDF, Excel, and email output — plus a full submission history.

Capabilities

Everything a bank advice needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

One-Click Generation

Turn a finalized payslip batch into bank advice documents in a single click, launched right from the payslip batch form.

02

Automatic Bank Grouping

Employees are automatically partitioned by their receiving bank or payment journal, so each advice matches exactly one bank submission.

03

Pre-Submission Validation

Every employee's bank account is checked before generation; missing or invalid accounts are flagged on a data-gap warning banner instead of failing at the bank.

04

Formatted PDF Advice

Produce a formal, printable PDF advice listing every employee, account number, and net amount, with a grand total ready for the bank.

05

Excel Export

Export the same advice to Excel with per-bank worksheet separation for teams who need a spreadsheet rather than a letter.

06

Approval Workflow & Stage Badges

Advices move through draft, confirmed, approved, and sent stages with visible badges, so nothing reaches a bank without sign-off.

07

Email Straight To The Bank

Send the finished advice to the bank directly from Odoo using a customizable mail composer and template — no separate email client needed.

08

Bulk Actions

Confirm or mark multiple advices as sent in bulk from the list view, keeping large payroll runs with several banks moving quickly.

09

Guided Setup & Payments

A consolidated Settings page configures the disbursement journal, approval requirement, and email template, and confirmed advices can create draft payments in one click.

Workflow

How it works

1

Close the payslip batch

Finalize payroll as usual; the batch form gains a Generate Bank Advice button and a Bank Advices smart button.

2

Generate & preview

Launch the wizard to group employees by bank, preview the row count, total, and any missing bank accounts before anything is created.

3

Validate & approve

Confirm each advice, resolve any flagged accounts, and route it through the approval workflow with visible stage badges.

4

Send & reconcile

Email the PDF or Excel advice to the bank, then create and reconcile the resulting payments — with a full per-bank submission history.
