I need help understanding how can I tag and group my chart of accounts to show the Cashflow report with information in:

  • Operating Activities
  • Investing Activities
  • Financing Activities

For now, all the information (the money) is on "unclassified activities" at the end of the cashflow report.

Have you gotten a good answer since you posted (3 years ago)?

From what I did (in Odoo Online v18.4e) is to tag accounts that are not "Bank and Cash" type that you think cash will directly flow in or out of. No need to tag "Bank and Cash" type of accounts as they're disregarded (they're the source of the cash flows to begin with).

All cash movements to these accounts will appear in the CFS, categorized under the tagging you made. If you had left out an account that is not tagged, cash flow in/out of it will still be in CFS, but just under "Cash flows from unclassified activities" section. You can fix it by checking and tagging the accounts in Chart of Accounts to what tags they should be in.

About advance payments from customers / to suppliers... This is what I observed (although I can't find a specific documentation to confirm this behavior):

To show a cash flow for "Advance Payments received from customers" in the CFS, the bank or cash deposit (debit) must have a double entry (credit) using "Accounts Receivable" account. I'm not sure if reported is hardcoded to this or it can accept any account of Receivable type.

To show a cash flow for "Advance payments made to suppliers" section, similar approach to above but with bank or cash withdrawal (credit) having double entry (debit) using "Accounts Payable" account (or probably any other Payable type).

Hi all,

Odoo Cash Flow Statement works using the indirect method. This means you don’t record changes to bank accounts directly. The indirect method analyzes changes in balance sheet accounts (such as Customer Receivables, Payables, etc.).

There are some problems with the indirect method:

  • Reconciliation is mandatory.
  • You can’t distinguish between customer payments (incomes) and vendor refunds.
  • You can’t separate payouts for offline and online marketing services.

We created our own Cash Flow Statement that uses the direct method. All you need to do is mark bank transactions with the new analytic. A new Cash Flow Direct Statement Report is ready to use.

Hey Jorge,

Did you ever figure out how to get this working? It seems like their out of the box CFS is not only wrong but is displayed and grouped in a way I've never seen before. We're trying to figure out how to get a correct CFS.
