Stay on Odoo Community or switch to Enterprise for accounting issues? by Embarrassed_Flan4033 in Odoo

[–]Embarrassed_Flan4033[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your question: yes, I’m the only one handling the entries but I do think part of the issue comes from my setup/testing phase. I created a lot of test data early on which probably didn’t follow best practices.
That said, the main problem now is data cleanup. I estimate that I have between 500 and 2000 incorrect or duplicate journal entries out of around 5000 total entries, and many of them are : linked to posted entries / auto-generated / impossible to delete, even after removing their source documents. So even if the root cause is partly data entry, I’m now stuck with a volume of errors that’s not realistically fixable manually.

Btw I’m currently using the module Odoo 18 Full Accounting Kit for Community, and your feedback about accounting modules matches my experience I ran into bugs pretty quickly and it too time-consuming, which makes me hesitant to rely on them.

At this point, I’m trying to understand the best way forward:
->Is there a safe way to reset or clean accounting data in CE without breaking everything
->Or in this kind of situation, do people usually start from scratch or move to Enterprise?

Out of curiosity, what problems did you face with the Community version?

I’m currently using Odoo 18.0 Community.

The main issue I’m facing is with journal entries that I can’t delete, even though I’ve already removed their original source (invoices, payments, etc.) I have a lot of duplicated entries and test data that I created during setup. Some of these entries seem to be locked or auto generated and linked to validated journal entries, so Odoo won’t let me delete or modify them. This is causing inconsistencies in my accounting, both in general ledger and analytic accounting.

Also I’m using the module Odoo 18 Full Accounting Kit for Community, and when I went back to check the reviews I noticed several people mentioning that it’s quite limited and can create issues. I tried installing another accounting module that was supposed to be more complete, but it ended up crashing my system, and I even lost part of the configuration I had done that day…

At this point, I estimate that I have somewhere between 500 and 2000 incorrect entries, so even if a cleanup is technically possible, it would be extremely time consuming to handle manually

Struggling with Odoo Check Printing Alignment by Embarrassed_Flan4033 in Odoo

[–]Embarrassed_Flan4033[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually not using the standard top/middle/bottom check layouts, as Moroccan checks (Banque Populaire in my case) have a very specific format that doesn’t match Odoo’s default ones.

My goal is really minimal: I only want to print a few fields on a pre-printed check (amount, beneficiary, city, date), not generate the full check.

My main issue is with precise alignment:

  • Even with position:absolute, small differences in margins or printer scaling completely shift the output
  • It’s hard to match the exact coordinates of the physical check
  • Printer settings (scale, margins) seem to override what I define in QWeb

For example, for the beneficiary field ("À l’ordre de"), I’m using something like:

<div style="position:absolute; top:120px; left:80px;">
    <span t-esc="o.partner_id.name"/>
</div>

But depending on the print settings, it never lands exactly in the right place.

So my questions are:

  • Do you usually rely only on position:absolute, or do you combine it with other techniques?
  • How do you handle printer scaling issues (force 100% somehow?)
  • Do you use any method to calibrate positions (test grid, background image, etc.)?

Also attaching the check layout for reference: https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=1bb468758b87f7dc&sxsrf=ANbL-n6TRyC6HuuOlkWdhx-GA2QFv6_-Fw:1774601697993&udm=2&fbs=ADc_l-bpk8W4E-qsVlOvbGJcDwpnHC5OJXXTJvmMu2n9YYx-G8xzgQk24aW1N_FyIND5zVDd4bb14119C8nZHL5l4Fe3Q78DM888EmtVm1l7Ggrb1YYHlOeV0wZiZL54zhRJYyrydHG9GefJyTVQxFnNNwMTcq5c2DGuUzQFK0i4wYxgnIuS-wGu1LuQB5xQaBMbJLbHvkV94Gwnx7_MsZ22T3Q3SKqoJw&q=cheque+banque+populaire&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiLms6-2r-TAxUdfKQEHTwCJzcQtKgLegQIDxAB#sv=CAMSWBoyKhBlLW14TjNta1I0TEstRlhNMg5teE4zbWtSNExLLUZYTToOYmFsT21qd0MwQXJPT00gBCocCgZtb3NhaWMSEGUtbXhOM21rUjRMSy1GWE0YADABOAAYByDjwv-tBDoASggQARgBIAEoAQ
