Hibou Odoo Suite: Human Resources (HR) Modules: HR Expense Vendor

Purpose

This documentation outlines the use case and processes associated with Hibou's HR Expense Vendor module for Odoo 15, which allows you to record the associated Vendor on Expenses.

When using this module, if the expense is company paid, then the vendor will also be the partner used when creating the journal entry. This makes expenses much easier to reconcile. Additionally, it adds the expense reference to the journal entry.

Getting Started

First thing's first, we want to install the module! Navigate to the Apps application.


Once there, remove the 'Apps' filter, then search for 'HR Expense Vendor'. When ready, click Install .

Technical

This module adds a new field `vendor_id` to the `hr.expense` model. Additionally, it validates the presence of an assigned vendor in order to process a company paid expense. The `vendor_id` field is added to both the HR Expense Form View and the HR Expense Sheet Form.
