Hi,

I've installed the addon "eInvoicing & Payments". Since then, I'm not able to create customers without giving an "Account Receivable" and an "Account Payable".

I've checked out another question on this topic (on this site but i dont have enough karma to post links). In the other question it is replied "These are property fields, which you can make non-mandatory by a simple inherit.", but it did not help me to find the way to do such a thing.

I've taken a look in "Technical -> User Interface -> Views", trying to find these property field, but I could not find anything.

Any help will be much appreciate! Cheers VG

Hello,

If you have installed the 'eInvoicing & Payments' module, I guess you want to do accounting.

Account Receivable and Account Payable will be required as soon as you will invoice them.

If the fields are empty, it's means that you are missing a default value for them.

In the developper mode, you have on top of the form a drop down menu. In this menu you have an option 'Set default' Use it to automatically fill the fields.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, when i get the box 'set defaults', I can't define default value for the fields "Account Receivable" and an "Account Payable". Should I make any change in the code ?

You need to populate the fields on the form before using 'set defaults'. If you don't populate the fields on the form with the defaults you want, 'set defaults' won't work.

Cheers, that made it.

Do you mean there is 'Set default' in menu of contact form? When I try to create a Payable account and save, it says error: "The account is not reconcilable". Do you know how to resolve?

You cannot make them non-mandatory.

These fields are required because you will not be able to process invoices or payments without them.

You can only create default values for them (as explained by Open-Net Sarl)

I used Odoo 14, right now and the configure on Company Properties(Activate Developer Mode)
Settings -> Technical -> Company Properties(under Parameter), add by create the default data:

For Account Receivable
Name: property_account_receivable_id
Field: Account Receivable (res.partner)
Resource: [let it blank or empty]
Value: acount.account,ID   "ID of your receivable Account (on model Chart of Account)"
Type: Many2One

For Account Payable:
Name: property_account_payable_id
Field: Account Payable (res.partner)
Resource: [let it blank or empty]
Value: acount.account,ID   "ID of your payable Account (on model Chart of Account)"
Type: Many2One
