Debt Statement

Businesses often track a debt under a custom name that does not match the accounting partner, such as a family or project account. This module lets you define debt names, attach them to partners and print a statement grouped by that name. It plugs into Odoo Accounting and uses journal entries to compute balances. A wizard controls the period, balance scope, posted or all entries and the display mode. Every printed run is saved in a report log with its PDF so it can be reprinted later.

   Define debt names

   Open Debt > Debt Names and create a record with a name and its company. The form lists the related partners in a tab and shows their count.

   Assign to partners

   On the partner form select the debt name field so the partner joins that group. Several partners can share one debt name.
