This question has been flagged

I am using Odoo Community v14, Bitnami distribution for Windows.

I read about the new move in the module Invoicing regarding the use of interim account for a Bank's journal:

  • Bank Outstanding Receipts

  • Bank Outstanding Payments

  • Bank Suspense Account.

I understand the motive behind implmenting them (we used such accounts for collecting Visa and MasterCard payments when I used to work for a company, using Odoo Online v11). I just can't find how to balance these accounts after creating bank statement. 

For example, refer to this collection of screenshots in https://imgur.com/a/Q6qVyJR

  1. I made a purchase and created a vendor bill and registered the payment. There has been a transaction from Outstanding Payments to Account Payable (picture 1). 

  2. I made a manual bank statement (picture 2)

  3. I posted the entries and there has been a transaction from Bank to Bank Suspense Account (picture 3)

Shouldn't be there a transaction from Bank Suspense Account to Outstanding Payments that should zero these 2 accounts in the general ledger (picture 4)? 

I also noticed that the manual bank statement, although posted, is still in the 'Processing' stage (picture 2)? I suspect that if the bank statement is 'Validated', the accounts should be balanced, I just can't find how.

I tested the same procedure in the runbot. I got the same behaviour including the Processing state in the manual bank statement and I can't find a way to validate it.

Appreciate the help

Have you reconciled the bank statement line with the payment?

Is there a command in the menus to reconcile? I'm using the community edition v14 and will refer you back to the screenshots https://imgur.com/a/Q6qVyJR
