Payment Hold on Partner Account

Some payments, such as cheques or transfers, are recorded now but only clear later. This module holds selected inbound or outbound payments in a pending clearing account and settles them later to the real journal. Settlement can happen manually with Settle Now or through a scheduled job on the settle date. Related moves are reachable from the payment and a special settlement group controls who can settle. It plugs into Odoo Accounting payments.
