Bonjour Elodie,

Le compte courant existe déjà si le PCG a bien été importé. Il faut aller dans la configuration des comptes depuis le module Comptabilité > Paramètre > Plan comptable.

De là, vous allez trouver un compte 45 générique que vous pouvez dupliquer pour un nommage plus précis d'un associé. Il faut cliquer sur le compte 45, aller dans la mollette/roue crantée en haut, puis faire "Dupliquer". Vous pouvez ensuite renommer le compte 45001 - MARTIN Jean-Pierre.

Bon courage !

Hi MORCET Elodie,

Step 1: Create the Associate Current Account

1. Go to Accounting → Configuration → Chart of Accounts.
2. Click New.
3. Fill in details:
   • Code: e.g., 1211
   • Name: Associate Current Account
   • Account Type:
     • Receivable → if the associate owes the company.
     • Payable → if the company owes the associate.
   • Allow Reconciliation: ✅
4. Click Save.

This account will track all associate-related transactions separately.

Step 2: Assign the Current Account to the Associate

1. Go to Contacts → Associates.
2. Open the associate’s contact record.
3. Navigate to the Accounting tab.
4. Set:
   • Receivable Account: Associate Current Account
5. Save.

All invoices for this associate will post to this account.

Step 3: Record Payments Through an External Account

1. Go to Accounting → Customers/Vendors → Payments.
2. Click Create.
3. Fill in:
   • Payment Type: Receive or Send
   • Partner: Select the associate
   • Amount: Enter the payment amount
   • Journal: Select the external bank/cash account
4. Click Confirm.

Payment posts to the external account but will reconcile with the associate’s current account.

Step 4: Reconcile Payments

1. Go to Accounting → Reconciliation.
2. Select the Associate Current Account.
3. Match invoices and payments.
4. Confirm the reconciliation.

This keeps your accounts clean and ensures all payments are tracked.

Step 5: Partner Ledger for Traceability

1. After reconciliation, go to Accounting → Reporting → Partner Ledger.
2. Filter by your associate.
3. You will see a detailed view of:
   • All invoices
   • Payments received/sent
   • Outstanding balances

This gives full traceability of the associate’s account, making it easier to audit or check history.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us

Hope this helps!

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

In Odoo, creating a current account for an associate is done through the chart of accounts, not by setting up a bank account. You first create a dedicated liability or receivable account in Accounting → Configuration → Chart of Accounts. This account represents the associate’s current account and should be set as reconciliable so that payments and invoices can be matched later.

Next, you link this account to the associate’s contact in the Accounting tab by assigning it as their receivable or payable account. This ensures that any transaction related to the associate automatically flows through their current account instead of the company’s default receivable or payable.

When recording a payment for an invoice, you simply select the associate’s current account as the payment method instead of cash or bank. The transaction is then posted against this account, allowing you to track balances directly in the general ledger. Since the account is reconciliable, it can later be cleared once the associate actually settles with real funds through the bank.

This approach lets you manage associates’ balances like a “temporary bank account,” keeping clear records of payments and obligations without immediately affecting the company’s actual cash or bank accounts.

Hope it helps
