We are taking PayPal Here credit card payments with Odoo 12 Point Of Sale. We added a payment method for this which has its own Journal and account in the Chart of Accounts. The actual payment is processed with a separate app which we manually enter the total amount into. The money is deposited in our PayPal account, with a fee deducted from the amount. Odoo generates journal entries which Credit Accounts Receivable and Debit the PayPal Account, which seems correct.
We then import our PayPal statement from a CSV file. This creates a bank statement with the payments from customers and additional fee lines (created from an external script). I would expect to then be able to reconcile these statement entries against the POS orders to track the PayPal account balance. It seems the POS orders are already reconciled though. Should these entries not be imported into the bank statement? We could still process the fees though by creating new Debit entries to the Bank Fees account. I think the main thing is to be able to track the balance of this account and perhaps verify that the payments were actually received.
Any tips on a good way to handle this? This is for accounting in the USA.
Thanks in advance.
