I have been told that I can use the following email subjects for Expenses:

  • Travel by Air [TICKET] USD 1205.91
  • TICKET $1205.91 Travel by Air
  • Extra expenses 29.10EUR [EXTRA]

In each case, the Expense created will use the details in the email subject, if a matching PRODUCT is found in the database.


I can't get this to work with a secondary currency, so what logic does Odoo use to determine when I can?

As of version 15 and 16:


  • If the Employee does not have a related User record, they can only submit Expenses in the base currency of the Company.
  • If the Employee does have a related User record, they can only submit Expenses in the base currency of any other Company they have access to.

In both cases, either the currency SYMBOL or currency ISO name (as show in your examples) are acceptable.

Note that any submitted expense can be edited once in Odoo, including changing the currency.


I have suggested via feedback that we instead let Employees email expenses in any active Currency in the Company, as this is probably what most Users expect.
