In payment voucher, if the amounts do not match exactly, it is possible to fully reconcile invoices and keep the difference open. In manual reconciliation, the only available options are 'Write-Off' and 'Partial Reconcile'.

I want to do full reconciliation and keep the remaining the difference amount open, like in payment voucher but the payments are already posted and can cannot be split. I thought of two options:

  1. Create new reconciliation module similar to account_reconcile. It should create a new entry in a special journal 'Reconciliation Entries' with receivable debit and credit equal to the difference to allow reconciling one line and keep the other line open. A due date, name and comment can be added to the open line.

  2. Select 'Write-Off' and set 'Accounts Receivable' as the write-off account instead of an expense account.

Is there a better method to handle this issue? Are there any consequences or side-effects for the above solutions.

I do not complete understand. I have the impression:

full reconciliation and keep the remaining the difference amount open

is a contradiction in itself.

I have something similar and I think it does exactly what you want. However I don't want it ... It looks like we need to change positions and we are both happy. In my situation the result was "The Write-Off could be found on the Profit and Loss Report. So far so good. But one problem remained: the write-off amount (In our case 0.01) was still to be found in the Aged Partner Balance report. That's should be zero right?"

I have post this in a comment in the answer on my question: https://accounts.openerp.com/forum/Help-1/question/700

The situation is for v6.1

By full reconciliation I mean mark the invoice as paid. For example, when a customer has an invoice of $10,500.00 pays $10,000.00 you may want to mark the invoice paid but the $500 open to be collected later. Or he may pay $11,000.00, so you keep the extra $500 to be deducted from next invoice. The option is available if you reconcile within a payment voucher, but not in manual reconciliation.
