Analytic plans and distribution, fixed assets and depreciation models, foreign currencies and revaluation, budgets and management reporting.
In this lesson
- Analytic plans and distribution
- Assets and depreciation models
- Multi-currency and revaluation
Key points
- Analytic plans + distribution split lines by percentage
- Distribution models set defaults; budgets compare plan vs actual
- Odoo 20: depreciation models replace asset models; config on asset accounts
- Rates, exchange differences (one line per invoice in Odoo 20), revaluation
Real-world example
A Lagos NGO funded by three donors had to report spending per grant. Analytic plans for Donor and Programme, distribution models by expense account, and budgets per grant replaced weekly Excel reconciliations; the auditor drilled from the donor report straight to bills.
