Currently, Odoo restricts users from including multiple payable or receivable general ledger (GL) accounts within a single payment or receipt entry. This limitation poses significant challenges when accounting for transactions involving combined tax payments.

For example, taxes such as TDS Payable and TCS Payable, both classified under Income Tax liabilities, are typically remitted through a single challan. However, due to system constraints, users are forced to create two separate entries, making reconciliation unnecessarily complex and time-consuming.

To enhance usability and financial accuracy, Odoo should support multiple payable and receivable GL accounts within a single payment or receipt voucher. This improvement would allow seamless recording of combined tax payments and foster efficient reconciliation workflows

Hi,

Odoo’s default accounting system does not allow a single payment or receipt voucher to include more than one payable or receivable GL account. You can only select one party account per voucher, meaning Odoo enforces exactly one counter-party ledger.


Odoo’s design forces each payment to link to exactly one outstanding account (payable or receivable) at a time.


Odoo allows batch payments of multiple invoices—but only against one partner account. It doesn’t support combining different GL accounts into a single transaction.

To overcome this limitation, the most viable path is custom module development: enhancing the payment wizard and voucher creation flow to support selecting and posting to multiple GL liability accounts in one consolidated entry.


Hope it helps
