To use analytic accounting to track maintenance costs in Odoo, you can follow these steps:

1.Enable Analytic Accounting: Ensure that the Analytic Accounting feature is enabled in your Odoo instance. You can verify this by going to the "Settings" menu, selecting "General Settings," and checking the "Analytic Accounting" option under the "Features" tab.

2.Set Up Analytic Accounts: Create analytic accounts to track maintenance costs. Analytic accounts represent different cost centers or projects. In this case, you can create analytic accounts for each maintenance task, equipment, or department that you want to track. To create an analytic account, go to the "Accounting" module, click on "Configuration," and select "Analytic Accounts." Create new accounts with relevant names and details.

3.Assign Analytic Accounts to Costs: Assign the analytic accounts to the costs associated with maintenance activities. This can be done in various areas of Odoo, depending on where you record the maintenance expenses. Here are a few examples:

a. Purchase Orders: When creating a purchase order for maintenance-related expenses, specify the analytic account in the "Analytic Account" field on the purchase order line.

b. Invoices: If you receive invoices for maintenance services or products, specify the analytic account in the "Analytic Account" field on the invoice line.

c. Journal Entries: If you record maintenance costs through manual journal entries, include the analytic account in the journal entry lines to allocate the expenses correctly.

4.Analyze Costs: Once you have assigned the analytic accounts to maintenance costs, you can analyze the costs using the built-in analytic accounting reports in Odoo. To access these reports, go to the "Accounting" module and select "Reporting." Here, you'll find various reports like the "Analytic Journal Items" report, "Analytic P&L," or "Analytic Balance Sheet." These reports will help you track and analyze maintenance costs based on the assigned analytic accounts.

5.Additional Configurations: Depending on your specific requirements, you may want to consider additional configurations. For example, you can set up cost centers or departments as analytic tags and assign them to the analytic accounts. This allows you to track costs based on multiple dimensions, such as maintenance tasks and departments simultaneously.
Thank you

Hello,

You have to enable the Analytic Account feature from Accounting > Settings first. Then you can create all vehicles as Analytic Accounts in the system. Now whenever there is any Expense you can select one of the Vehicle (Analytic Account) on the invoice lines. This will reflect in your Accounting reports as well.
