By default, the fiscal year is set to last 12 months and ends on December 31st. However, its duration and end date can vary due to cultural, administrative, and economic considerations.

If the period lasts more than or less than 12 months, enable Fiscal Years and Save. Go back to the Fiscal Periods section and click Fiscal Years. Then, click New, give it a Name and both a Start Date and End Date.

Note

Once the set fiscal period is over, Odoo automatically reverts to the default periodicity, considering the value specified in the Last Day field.

ก่อนปิดปีบัญชี

Before closing a fiscal year, ensure that everything is accurate and up-to-date:

การปิดปีบัญชี

จากนั้นให้ปิดปีบัญชี:

  • Run a tax report, and verify that all tax information is correct.

  • Reconcile all accounts on the balance sheet:

    • Update the bank balances in Odoo to reflect the actual balances as per the bank statements.

    • Reconcile all transactions in the cash and bank accounts by running the aged receivables and aged payables reports.

    • Audit all accounts, fully understanding all transactions and their nature, including loans and fixed assets.

    • Optionally, match payments to validate any open vendor bills and customer invoices with their payments. While this step is optional, it could assist the year-end closing process if all outstanding payments and invoices are reconciled, potentially finding errors or mistakes in the system.

During the year-end audit, the accountant may print paper copies of all balance sheet items (e.g., loans, bank accounts, prepayments, sales tax statements) to compare them against the balances recorded in Odoo.

Tip

As part of this process, setting a Lock Everything date to the last day (inclusive) of the preceding fiscal year is good practice. This ensures that journal entries with an accounting date on or before the lock date cannot be created or modified during the audit. Users with administrator access rights can still create and edit entries if an exception is configured.

Lock everything date

Setting a lock date prevents modifications to any posted journal entries with an accounting date on or before the lock date. It also prevents posting new entries with an accounting date on or before the lock date. In such cases, the system automatically sets the accounting date to the day after the lock date.

To set a Lock Everything date, go to Accounting ‣ Accounting ‣ Lock Dates. In the Lock Journal Entries window, set the Lock Everything date and Save.

After setting the Lock Everything date, an exception can be made if a modification is necessary.

Lock date exception

Users with Administrator access rights to the Accounting app can create exceptions. To do so:

  1. After setting and saving a lock date, go to Accounting ‣ Accounting ‣ Lock Dates. In the Lock Journal Entries window, remove the Lock Everything date.

  2. In the Exception banner, choose if this exception should be set for me (the current user) or for everyone, and how long it should last.

  3. A Reason for this exception can be added.

  4. All of this information is logged in the chatter of the company record.

Tip

To remove a lock date after it has been saved, configure the exception to apply for everyone and set the duration to forever. This does not apply to the Hard Lock date, which is irreversible to ensure inalterability and to meet accounting requirements in certain countries.

Current year earnings

Important

In versions before Odoo 19, current year earnings were handled differently. For consistency in your reporting history, upgrading users should revisit past fiscal years and explicitly book the results that were previously handled implicitly by the system. These manual journal entries should be made in chronological order. For more information on why this change was made and how versions before Odoo 19 compare to versions after it, see this blog post.

At the end of a fiscal year, a company will almost always have a net profit or a net loss that is calculated by summing the income and expenses accounts of the profit and loss statement. Odoo displays the result for year N as a dynamic line called Result Brought Forward in the trial balance and general ledger of the year N+1. To clear this dynamic line, create a manual journal entry in year N for the end-of-year result using a Current Year Earnings type account.

Appropriation (current year earnings) accounts

Appropriation accounts (also called by their account type, current year earnings) are used to allocate a company's profit or loss, whether that allocation is to reserves, dividends, or any other destination. There are several key pieces of information to know about these accounts and how they function:

  • Annual reset: Like the income and expenses accounts that are also found on the profit and loss statement, allocation accounts have their opening balances reset at the beginning of a fiscal year.

  • P&L presentation: These accounts appear at the bottom of the profit and loss statement.

  • No profit effect: Unlike income and expenses accounts, these accounts do not affect the calculation of the net profit.

  • Balance sheet counterparts: Only the counterparts of the journal items that debit or credit appropriations accounts (e.g., the dividends payable or the reserve accounts) appear on the balance sheet. This maintains a strict separation between the process of distributing profit and the resulting liabilities or equity.

Manual journal entry

To roll up income and expenses and replace the dynamic Result Brought Forward line with an explicit journal item that balances the trial balance, create a manual journal entry by following these steps:

  1. Go to Accounting ‣ Accounting ‣ Journal Entries.

  2. Click the New button.

  3. Add a Reference such as Annual Closing [YEAR], replacing [YEAR] with the current year.

  4. Set the Accounting Date to the end of the fiscal year in which the profit or loss was incurred.

  5. In the Journal Items tab, add the necessary appropriation lines. In the case of recording a profit, debit one or more appropriation (current year earnings) accounts. In the case of recording a loss, credit one or more appropriation (current year earnings) accounts. Either way, to fully distribute the year's profit or loss, the amount should sum to the amount that is on the dynamic Result Brought Forward line of the trial balance for the year after the profit or loss was incurred.

  6. เพิ่มหนึ่งรายการหรือมากกว่าที่บันทึกเครดิต (ในกรณีที่มีกำไร) หรือบันทึกเดบิต (ในกรณีที่ขาดทุน) ไปยังบัญชีปลายทางหนึ่งบัญชีหรือมากกว่าเพื่อปรับสมดุลรายการบันทึกบัญชี ขึ้นอยู่กับการปรับให้เหมาะกับท้องถิ่นและสถานการณ์ บัญชีปลายทางอาจแตกต่างกันไป แต่อาจเป็นบัญชีการจัดสรรอื่นๆ (กำไรสะสมปีปัจจุบัน) บัญชีส่วนของเจ้าของ บัญชีหนี้สินหมุนเวียน หรือการผสมผสานของบัญชีเหล่านี้ ผลรวมของรายการเหล่านี้ต้องสมดุลกับรายการจากขั้นตอนก่อนหน้า

Example

Depending on the localization and the situation, the accounts involved will vary. The following example illustrates one potential journal entry using accounts from the Belgian GAAP / CSA-WVV. This example debits three different allocation (current year earnings) accounts and credits three different destination accounts (two equity accounts and one current liabilities account).

Destination

Profit and loss appropriation account (Debit)

Balance sheet destination account (Credit)

Legal reserve

692000 Appropriations to Legal Reserve

130000 Legal Reserve

Carried Forward

693000 Profits to Be Carried Forward

140000 Profit Brought Forward

Dividends

694000 Compensation for Contributions

Annual closing

To complete the fiscal year-end process and finalize the annual closing, go to the Accounting dashboard and click Tax Returns on the Tax Returns journal from the Accounting dashboard. Alternatively, go to Accounting ‣ Accounting ‣ Tax Returns.

This view displays a chronological list of all pending returns including tax returns, advance payments (based on the fiscal localization), and annual closings. A pending Annual Closing follows two steps: review and submit. The Annual Closing item includes:

  • A period (year).

  • A deadline date.

  • The related company and branch(es), if applicable.

  • Action steps, such as Review and Submit, which turn green when completed.

  • Action buttons for key tasks.

  • A (vertical ellipsis) menu for additional options.

Note

  • Before the annual closing is reviewed, the number of Pending or Passed closing validation checks is displayed in red or green, respectively.

  • If the Deadline date has passed, it appears in red.
