Chapter: 4 - Financial management aspects of vendors and customers with Odoo Accounting

Batch payment configuration

Your business will have numerous regular customers who are trustworthy and the ones you know in person building up the confidence to trust each other in business as well as personal aspects. These sorts of relationships can be well seen in small and medium scale businesses other than large scale and multinational organizations. One such aspect of trust can be seen in the payment where the customer will be paying for the invoices in advance as well as in total at the end of a term.

The Odoo platform supports the aspects of Batch payments that will help the business to post a payment in batches which will be beneficial for the business to be running smoothly. You can deal with the Batch payment configuration in the Odoo Accounting module under the Customers tab. On Selecting the menu options, you will be depicted with all the Batch payments that have been defined. Moreover, just like any menu in Odoo, there are definite Filtering as well as Group by available options.

Here you can create new Batch payment configuration aspects, firstly you need to define the Batch Type, Bank details as well as the Payment Method, Date, and the reference of the respective Batch payment.
