+
+How can I automate tasks when an IP address change occurs?
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+**Odoo.sh notifies project administrators of IP address changes.**
+Additionally, when the IP address of a production instance changes, an HTTP `GET` request is made
+to the path `/_odoo.sh/ip-change` with the new IP address included as a query string parameter
+(`new`), along with the previous IP address as an additional parameter (`old`).
+
+This mechanism allows custom actions to be applied in response to the IP address change
+(e.g., sending an email, contacting a firewall API, configuring database objects, etc.)
+
+For security reasons, the `/_odoo.sh/ip-change` route is accessible only internally by the platform
+itself and returns a `403` response if accessed through any other means.
+
+Here is a pseudo-implementation example:
+
+.. code-block:: python

-each version comes with new and improved features, bug fixes, and security patches.
+An upgrade involves moving a database from an older version to a newer supported version (e.g., from
+Odoo 16.0 to Odoo 18.0). Regular upgrades are crucial as each version offers new features, bug
+fixes, and security patches. Using a :doc:`supported version <supported_versions>` is strongly

 .. spoiler:: Automatic upgrades: Odoo Online's Rolling Release process

-   The Rolling Release process allows Odoo Online customers to upgrade their database directly from
-   a message prompt sent to the database administrator as soon as a new version is released. The
-   invitation to upgrade is only sent if no issues are detected during the automatic tests.
+   You will receive a notification in your database a few weeks before a mandatory upgrade will be
+   automatically carried out. You are in control of the process as long as the deadline is not
+   reached.

      :alt: The upgrade message prompt on the top right of the database

-   It is strongly recommended to manually :ref:`test the upgrade first <upgrade/test_your_db>`.
-   Clicking :guilabel:`I want to test first` redirects to `the database manager
-   <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases/>`_, where it is possible to request an upgraded test database
-   and check it for any discrepancies.
+   Concretely, Odoo’s Upgrade Team performs a silent test upgrade of every database that should be
+   upgraded. If the test is successful and lasts less than 20 minutes, you can directly trigger the
+   upgrade from the database. If the test fails, you can test an upgrade using the `database manager
+   <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_.

-   It is **not** recommended to click :guilabel:`Upgrade Now` without testing first, as it
-   immediately triggers the live production database upgrade.
+   When you are invited to upgrade, it is strongly recommended to :ref:`request an upgraded test
+   database <upgrade-request-test>` first and spend time :ref:`testing <upgrade-testing>` it.

-   If the Rolling Release process detects an issue with the upgrade, it will be deactivated until

-Preconfigured filters
-=====================
-
-You can modify the default selection of records by clicking :guilabel:`Filters` and selecting one or
-several **preconfigured filters**.
-
-.. example::
-   On the Sales Analysis report, only records at the sales order stage are selected by default.
-   However, you could *also* include records at the quotation stage by selecting
-   :guilabel:`Quotations`. Furthermore, you could *only* include records from a specific year, for
-   example *2022*, by selecting :menuselection:`Order Date --> 2022`.

-   If you select preconfigured filters from the same group (i.e., that are *not* separated by an

-Custom filters
-==============
-
-You can create custom filters using most fields present on the model by clicking
-:menuselection:`Filters --> Add Custom Filter`, selecting a field, an operator, a value, and
-clicking :guilabel:`Apply`.
-
-.. example::
-   You could *only* include records from a single salesperson on the Sales Analysis report, for
-   example *Mitchell Admin*, by selecting :guilabel:`Salesperson` as the field, :guilabel:`is equal
-   to` as the operator, and typing `Mitchell Admin` as the value.

-   before applying a custom filter. If the records should match *all* conditions, add new custom
-   filters instead.
+Odoo allows for the searching, filtering, and grouping of records in a view to display only the most
+relevant records. The search bar is located at the top of the view, start typing to :ref:`search for
+values <search/values>`, or click the :guilabel:`🔽 (down arrow)` icon to access the :ref:`Filter
+<search/filters>`, :ref:`Group By <search/group>`, and :ref:`Favorites <search/favorites>` drop-down
+menus.

 .. _search/values:

 Search for values
 =================

-You can use the search field to quickly look for specific values and add them as a filter. Either
-type the full value you are searching for and select the desired field, or type a part of the
-value, click the dropdown button (:guilabel:`⏵`) before the chosen field, and select the exact
-value you are looking for.
+Use the search field to quickly look for specific values, and add them as a filter. Type the value
+to search for, and select the desired option from the drop-down menu to apply the search filter.

 .. example::
-   Instead of adding a custom filter to select records where *Mitchell Admin* is the salesperson on
-   the Sales Analysis report, you could search for `Mitch`, click the dropdown button
-   (:guilabel:`⏵`) next to :guilabel:`Search Salesperson for: Mitch`, and select
-   :guilabel:`Mitchell Admin`.
+   Instead of adding a :ref:`custom filter <search/custom-filters>` to select records where
+   *Mitchell Admin* is the salesperson on the *Sales Analysis* report (:menuselection:`Sales app -->
+   Reporting --> Sales`), search for `Mitch`, and click the :guilabel:`⏵ (right arrow)` next to
+   :guilabel:`Search Salesperson for: Mitch`, and select :guilabel:`Mitchell Admin`.

   .. image:: search/search-values.png
      :align: center
      :alt: Searching for a specific value on the Sales Analysis report

 .. note::
-   Using the search field is equivalent to using the *contains* operator when adding a custom
-   filter. If you enter a partial value and directly select the desired field, *all* records
-   containing the characters you typed for the selected field will be included.
+   Using the search field is equivalent to using the *contains* operator when adding a :ref:`custom

+   selected (without selecting the :guilabel:`⏵ (right arrow)`), *all* records containing the typed
+   characters for the selected field are included.
+
+.. _search/filters:
+
+Filters
+=======
+
+Filters are used to select records that meet specific criteria. The default selection of records is
+specific to each view, but can be modified by selecting one (or several) :ref:`preconfigured filters
+<search/preconfigured-filters>`, or by adding a :ref:`custom filter <search/custom-filters>`.
+
+.. _search/preconfigured-filters:
+
+Preconfigured filters
+---------------------
+
+Modify the default selection of records by clicking the :guilabel:`🔽 (down arrow)` icon from the
+search bar, and selecting one (or several) *preconfigured filters* from the :guilabel:`Filters`
+drop-down menu.
+
+.. example::
+   On the *Sales Analysis* report (:menuselection:`Sales app --> Reporting --> Sales`), only records
+   that are at the *sales order* stage, with an *order date* within the last 365 days, are selected
+   by default.
+
+   To also include records at the *quotation* stage, select :guilabel:`Quotations` from the
+   :guilabel:`Filters`.
+
+   Furthermore, to *only* include sales order and quotation records from a specific year, like
+   2024, for example, first remove the existing `Order Date: Last 365 Days` filter, by clicking the
+   :guilabel:`❌ (remove)` icon, then select :menuselection:`Order Date --> 2024`.
+
+   .. image:: search/preconfigured-filters.png
+      :align: center
+      :alt: Using preconfigured filters on the Sales Analysis report
+
+.. note::
+   The preconfigured :guilabel:`Filters` are grouped, and each group is separated by a horizontal
+   line. Selecting preconfigured filters from the same group allows records to match *any* of the
+   applied conditions. However, selecting filters from different groups requires records to match
+   *all* of the applied conditions.
+
+.. _search/custom-filters:
+
+Custom filters
+--------------
+
+If the :ref:`preconfigured filters <search/preconfigured-filters>` are not specific enough, add a
+custom filter. To do so, click the :guilabel:`🔽 (down arrow)` icon in the search bar, then select
+:menuselection:`Filters --> Add Custom Filter`.
+
+The :guilabel:`Add Custom Filter` pop-up window displays the matching option, filter rule, and a
+toggle to :guilabel:`Include archived` records.
+
+.. image:: search/custom-filter.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The Add Custom Filter pop-up window.
+
+The default matching configuration is to :guilabel:`Match any of the following rules`, indicating
+that each filter rule is applied independently. To change the matching configuration to
+:guilabel:`Match all of the following rules`, at least two filter rules must be added to the custom
+filter.
+
+- :guilabel:`Match all 🔽 of the following rules`: **all** of the filter rules must be met.
+  Logically, this is an *AND* (`&`) operation.
+- :guilabel:`Match any 🔽 of the following rules`: **any** of the filter rules can be met.
+  Logically, this is an *OR* (`|`) operation.
+
+By default, a single filter rule is added to the custom filter. The following describes the
+structure of a filter rule:
+
+#. The first inline field is the *field name* to filter by. Some fields have refined parameters that
+   are nested within another field. These fields have an :guilabel:`> (arrow)` icon beside them,
+   which can be selected to reveal the nested fields.
+#. The second inline field is the conditional *operator* used to compare the field name to the
+   value. The :ref:`available conditional operators <reference/orm/domains>` are specific to the
+   field's data type.
+#. The third inline field is the variable *value* of the field name. The value input may appear as a
+   drop-down menu, a text input, a number input, a date/time input, a boolean selector, or it may be
+   blank, depending on the operator used and the field's data type.
+
+Three inline buttons are also available to the right of the rule's filter criteria:
+
+#. :guilabel:`➕ (plus sign)`: adds a new rule below the existing rule.
+#. :guilabel:`(Add branch)`: adds a new group of rules below the existing rule, with the
+   :guilabel:`any` and :guilabel:`all` matching options available to define how each rule within
+   this branch is applied to the filter. If the matching option is set to the same as the parent
+   group, the fields are moved to join the parent group.
+
+   .. example::
+      If the matching option is set to :guilabel:`Match all 🔽 of the following rules`, and a new
+      branch is added with its matching option changed from :guilabel:`any 🔽 of` to :guilabel:`all
+      🔽 of`, the newly-added branch disappears, and its group of rules are moved to the parent
+      group.
+
+#. :guilabel:`🗑️ (garbage can)`: deletes the node. If a branch node is deleted, all children of
+   that node are deleted, as well.
+
+A new filter rule can be added to the custom filter by clicking the :guilabel:`New Rule` button.
+
+Once the filter criteria are defined, click :guilabel:`Add` to add the custom filter to the view.
+
+.. example::
+   To target all leads and opportunities from the :menuselection:`CRM` app that are in the *Won*
+   stage, and have an expected revenue greater than $1,000, the following should be entered:
+
+   :guilabel:`Match all 🔽 (down arrow) of the following rules:`
+
+   #. :guilabel:`Stage` :guilabel:`is in` :guilabel:`Won`
+   #. :guilabel:`Expected Revenue` :guilabel:`>` `1,000`
+   #. :guilabel:`any 🔽 (down arrow)` :guilabel:`of:`

+      - :guilabel:`Type` :guilabel:`=` :guilabel:`Opportunity`

 Group records
 =============

-You can click :guilabel:`Group By` below the search field to cluster records together according to
-one of the **preconfigured groups**.
+The display of records in a view can be clustered together, according to one of the *preconfigured
+groups*. To do so, click the :guilabel:`🔽 (down arrow)` icon in the search bar, then select one of
+the :guilabel:`Group By` options from the drop-down menu.

 .. example::
-   You could group the records by salesperson on the Sales Analysis report by clicking
-   :guilabel:`Group By` and selecting :guilabel:`Salesperson`. No records are filtered out.
+   To group the records by salesperson on the *Sales Analysis* report (:menuselection:`Sales app -->
+   Reporting --> Sales`), click the :guilabel:`Salesperson` option from the :guilabel:`Group By`
+   drop-down menu. The view changes to group the records by salesperson, without filtering out any
+   records.

+   Furthermore, filters and groups can be used together to refine the view even more.
+
+.. _search/comparison:
+
+Comparison
+==========
+
+Certain reporting dashboards include a :guilabel:`Comparison` section in the drop-down menus of
+their :guilabel:`Search...` bars. This includes the :doc:`Overall Equipment Effectiveness
+<../inventory_and_mrp/manufacturing/reporting/oee>` report for the *Manufacturing* app, and the
+:doc:`Purchase <../inventory_and_mrp/purchase/advanced/analyze>` report for the *Purchase* app,
+among others.
+
+The options in the :icon:`fa-adjust` :guilabel:`Comparison` section are used to compare data from
+two different time periods. There are two comparison options to choose from: :guilabel:`(Time
+Filter): Previous Period` and :guilabel:`(Time Filter): Previous Year`.
+
+.. important::
+   For some reports, the :guilabel:`Comparison` section **only** appears in the
+   :guilabel:`Search...` bar drop-down menu if one (or more) time periods have been selected in the
+   :guilabel:`Filters` column. This is because, if no time period is specified, there is nothing to
+   compare.
+
+   Additionally, some reports only allow use of the :guilabel:`Comparison` feature when the
+   :icon:`fa-pie-chart` :guilabel:`(pie chart)` graph type, or the :icon:`oi-view-pivot`
+   :guilabel:`(pivot)` view, is selected. A :guilabel:`Comparison` option can be selected even if
+   another view is enabled, but doing so does **not** change the way data is displayed on the
+   report.
+
+.. image:: search/comparison-section.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The Search... bar for the production analysis report.
+
+To view data using one of the two comparisons, begin by selecting a time period in the
+:guilabel:`Filters` column of the :guilabel:`Search...` bar drop-down menu. Then, select either
+:guilabel:`(Time Filter): Previous Period` or :guilabel:`(Time Filter): Previous Year` in the
+:guilabel:`Comparison` section.
+
+With one of the :guilabel:`Comparison` options enabled, the report compares the data for the
+selected period, with the data for the same unit of time (month, quarter, year), one period or year
+prior. The way the data is displayed depends on the selected view:
+
+- The :icon:`fa-bar-chart` :guilabel:`(bar chart)` shows two bars, side-by-side, for each unit of
+  time for the selected time period. The left bar represents the selected time period, while the
+  right bar represents the previous time period.
+- The :icon:`fa-line-chart` :guilabel:`(line chart)` is displayed with two lines, one representing
+  the selected time period, and the other representing the previous time period.
+- The :icon:`fa-pie-chart` :guilabel:`(pie chart)` appears as a large circle with a smaller circle
+  inside. The larger circle represents the selected time period, while the smaller circle represents
+  the previous time period.
+- The :icon:`oi-view-pivot` :guilabel:`(pivot table)` is displayed with each column split into two
+  smaller columns. The right column represents the selected time period, while the left column
+  represents the previous time period.
+
+.. example::
+   In the :guilabel:`Production Analysis` report of the :menuselection:`Manufacturing` app, data for
+   the second quarter of 2024 is compared to data for the second quarter of 2023. :guilabel:`Q2` is
+   selected in the :guilabel:`End Date` filter section of the :guilabel:`Search...` bar drop-down
+   menu. In the :guilabel:`Comparison` section, :guilabel:`End Date: Previous Year` is selected.
+
+   The current year is 2024, so the larger circle shows data for the second quarter (Q2) of 2024.
+   The smaller circle shows data for the second quarter (Q2) of 2023, which is the same time period,
+   but one *year* prior.
+
+   If :guilabel:`End Date: Previous Period` is selected instead, the smaller circle shows data for
+   the first quarter (Q1) of 2024, which is the same time period, but one *period* prior.

+================
+Loans management
+================
+
+Odoo's loan management gives a comprehensive list of all loans undertaken by your company in order
+to maintain a holistic and forecasted view of upcoming due dates (e.g., cash forecast). Set up
+amortization schedules—or import them—and let Odoo automatically handle monthly interest and
+principal adjustments so that your financial reports are always accurate with minimal effort.
+
+Create a new loan
+-----------------
+
+Create a new loan by going to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Accounting --> Loans`. When creating a
+new loan, there are three options for how to create amortization schedules:
+
+- importing it from a supported file;
+- calculating it from multiple input values (e.g., the :guilabel:`Amount Borrowed`, the
+  :guilabel:`Duration`, etc.) using the :guilabel:`Compute` button;
+- manually filling in the lines of the schedule.
+
+In each case, three different fields are required for each line of the amortization schedule: the
+:guilabel:`Date`, the :guilabel:`Principal`, and the :guilabel:`Interest`.
+
+The :guilabel:`Amount Borrowed`, :guilabel:`Interest`, and :guilabel:`Duration` fields will be red
+if the sum of the lines does not match the total of the amortization schedule lines.
+
+Loan entries mechanism
+----------------------
+
+When the amount borrowed is credited to a bank account, it should be transferred to a long-term
+account (defined in the :guilabel:`Loan Settings` tab). Then, upon the validation of the loan, Odoo
+creates the necessary journal entries so that there is always a holistic and forecasted view of
+upcoming due dates. The entire process is completely automated with a long-term and short-term
+principal reclassification mechanism.
+
+For each line of the amortization schedule, Odoo creates the following entries:
+
+A payment entry on the same date that
+  - debits the principal amount to the long-term account;
+  - debits the interest amount to the expense account;
+  - credits the payment amount to the short-term account: this is the amount that will be
+    withdrawn by the bank.
+
+A reclassification entry on the same date that
+  - debits the sum of the principal amounts of the next 12 months to the long-term account;
+  - credits the sum of the principal amounts of the next 12 months to the short-term account.
+
+A reversed entry of the reclassification entry on *the next day* that simply reverses the previous
+one.
+
+With this mechanism, month after month, the short-term account is always up to date with the
+current short-term due amounts.
+
+Closing a loan
+--------------
+
+By default, a loan will be closed whenever its last payment entry is posted. However, it can also
+be manually closed (e.g., because it is being paid off early) by clicking on the :guilabel:`Close`
+button. A wizard will appear asking from which date the loan should be closed. All draft entries
+after this date will be deleted too.
+
+A loan can also be cancelled. In that case, all entries will be deleted even if they were already
+posted.
+
+Loans Analysis Report
+---------------------
+
+By going to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Reporting --> Loans Analysis`, you can access a
+report with a pivot view of your ongoing loans. By default, the report shows the principal,
+interest, and total payment for each year for the loan duration.

-Invoicing in most countries occurs when a contractual obligation is met.
-If you ship a box to a customer, you have met the terms of the contract
-and can bill them. If your supplier sends you a shipment, they have met
-the terms of that contract and can bill you. Therefore, the terms of the
-contract is fulfilled when the box moves to or from the truck. At this
-point, Odoo supports the creation of what is called a Draft Invoice by
-Warehouse staff.
+.. _accounting/invoice/creation:

 Invoice creation
----------------
+================

-Draft invoices can be manually generated from other documents such as
-Sales Orders, Purchase Orders,etc. Although you can create a draft
-invoice directly if you would like.
+Draft invoices can be created directly from documents like sales orders or purchase orders or
+manually from the :guilabel:`Customer Invoices` journal in the :guilabel:`Accounting Dashboard`.

-An invoice must be provided to the customer with the necessary
-information in order for them to pay for the goods and services ordered
-and delivered. It must also include other information needed to pay the
-invoice in a timely and precise manner.
+An invoice must include the required information to enable the customer to pay promptly for their
+goods and services. Make sure the following fields are appropriately completed:

-Draft invoices
--------------
+- :guilabel:`Customer`: When a customer is selected, Odoo automatically pulls information from the
+  customer record like the invoice address,
+  :doc:`preferred payment terms <customer_invoices/payment_terms>`,
+  :doc:`fiscal positions <taxes/fiscal_positions>`, receivable account, and more onto the invoice.
+  To change these values for this specific invoice, edit them directly on the invoice. To change
+  them for future invoices, change the values on the contact record.
+- :guilabel:`Invoice Date`: If not set manually, this field is automatically set as the current date
+  upon confirmation.
+- :guilabel:`Due Date` or :doc:`payment terms <customer_invoices/payment_terms>`: To specify when
+  the customer has to pay the invoice.
+- :guilabel:`Journal`: Is automatically set and can be changed if needed.
+- :doc:`Currency <get_started/multi_currency>`
+- :guilabel:`Product`: Click :guilabel:`Add a line` to add a product.
+- :guilabel:`Quantity`
+- :guilabel:`Price`
+- :doc:`Taxes <taxes>` (if applicable)

-The system generates invoice which are initially set to the Draft state.
-While these invoices remain unvalidated, they have no accounting impact within the system.
-There is nothing to stop users from creating their own draft invoices.
+.. tip::
+   To display the total amount of the invoice in words, go to :menuselection:`Accounting -->
+   Configuration --> Settings` and activate the :guilabel:`Total amount of invoice in letters`
+   option.

-Let's create a customer invoice with following information:
+The :guilabel:`Journal Items` tab displays the accounting entries created.
+Additional invoice information such as the :guilabel:`Customer Reference`, :doc:`Fiscal Positions
+<taxes/fiscal_positions>`, :doc:`Incoterms <customer_invoices/incoterms>`, and more can be added or
+modified in the :guilabel:`Other Info` tab.

- Customer: Agrolait
- Product: iMac
- Quantity: 1
- Unit Price: 100
- Taxes: Tax 15%
+.. note::
+   Odoo initially creates invoices in :guilabel:`Draft` status. Draft invoices have no accounting
+   impact until they are :ref:`confirmed <accounting/invoice/confirmation>`.

+.. seealso::
+   :doc:`/applications/sales/sales/invoicing/proforma`

-.. image:: customer_invoices/invoice02.png
+.. _accounting/invoice/confirmation:

-The document is composed of three parts:
+Invoice confirmation
+====================

-  the top of the invoice, with customer information,
-  the main body of the invoice, with detailed invoice lines,
-  the bottom of the page, with detail about the taxes, and the totals.
+Click :guilabel:`Confirm` when the document is completed. The document's status changes to
+:guilabel:`Posted`, and a journal entry is generated based on the invoice configuration. On
+confirmation, Odoo assigns each document a unique number from a defined
+:ref:`sequence <accounting/invoice/sequence>`.

-Open or Pro-forma invoices
--------------------------
+.. note::
+   - Once confirmed, an invoice can no longer be updated. Click :guilabel:`Reset to draft` if
+     changes are needed.
+   - If required, invoices and other journal entries can be locked once posted
+     using the :ref:`Secure posted entries with hash <data-inalterability/restricted>` feature.

-An invoice will usually include the quantity and the price of goods
-and/or services, the date, any parties involved, the unique invoice
-number, and any tax information.
+.. _accounting/invoice/sending:

-"Validate" the invoice when you are ready to approve it. The invoice
-then moves from the Draft state to the Open state.
+Invoice sending
+===============

-When you have validated an invoice, Odoo gives it a unique number from a
-defined, and modifiable, sequence.
+To send the invoice to the customer, click :guilabel:`Send & Print`. A :guilabel:`Configure your
+document layout` pop-up window will appear if a :ref:`default invoice layout
+<studio/pdf-reports/default-layout>` hasn't been customized. Then, select how to send this invoice
+to the customer in the :guilabel:`Send` window.

-.. image:: customer_invoices/invoice03.png
+To send and print multiple invoices, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Customers --> Invoices`
+and select them. Then click the :icon:`fa-cog` :guilabel:`Actions` menu and select
+:guilabel:`Send & Print`. A banner will appear on the selected invoices to indicate they are part of
+an ongoing send and print batch. This helps prevent the process from being triggered manually again,
+as it may take some time to complete for exceptionally large batches.

-Accounting entries corresponding to this invoice are automatically
-generated when you validate the invoice. You can see the details by
-clicking on the entry in the Journal Entry field in the "Other Info"
-tab.

+Payment and reconciliation
+==========================

-Send the invoice to customer
----------------------------
+In Odoo, an invoice is considered :guilabel:`Paid` when the associated accounting entry has been
+reconciled with a corresponding bank transaction.

-After validating the customer invoice, you can directly send it to the
-customer via the 'Send by email' functionality.
+.. seealso::
+   - :doc:`payments`

-like as follows:

-+-----------------------+---------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
+Odoo's :doc:`follow-up actions <payments/follow_up>` help companies follow up on customer invoices.
+Different actions can be set up to remind customers to pay their outstanding invoices, depending on
+how much the customer is overdue. These actions are bundled into follow-up levels that trigger when
+an invoice is overdue by a certain number of days. If there are multiple overdue invoices for the
+same customer, the actions are performed on the most overdue invoice.

-Payment
-------
+.. _accounting/invoice/sequence:

-In Odoo, an invoice is considered to be paid when the associated
-accounting entry has been reconciled with the payment entries. If there
-has not been a reconciliation, the invoice will remain in the Open state
-until you have entered the payment.
+Sequence
+========

-A typical journal entry generated from a payment will look like as
-follows:
+The sequence that Odoo assigns to each document is a unique number made up of a prefix and a number.
+The prefix combines the journal code and the entry date and is used to group entries by period. The
+number is unique for each period and is used to identify the entry. The default sequence on customer
+invoices is INV/YYYY/number. In some specific cases,
+:ref:`resequencing <accounting/invoice/resequencing>` invoices might be necessary.

-+-----------------------+---------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
-| **Account**           | **Partner**   | **Due date**   | **Debit**   | **Credit**   |
-+=======================+===============+================+=============+==============+
-| Bank                  | Agrolait      |                | 115         |              |
-+-----------------------+---------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
-| Accounts Receivable   | Agrolait      |                |             | 115          |
-+-----------------------+---------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
+.. _accounting/invoice/resequencing:

-Receive a partial payment through the bank statement
----------------------------------------------------
+Resequencing
+------------

-You can manually enter your bank statements in Odoo, or you can import
-them in from a csv file or from several other predefined formats
-according to your accounting localisation.
+Resequencing is not possible:

-Create a bank statement from the accounting dashboard with the related
-journal and enter an amount of $100 .
+- When entries are before a lock date.
+- When the sequence leads to a duplicate.
+- When the :guilabel:`Invoice Date` doesn't match the date contained in the new sequence number,
+  e.g., if the sequence is changed to INV/2023/XXXXX for a document with an :guilabel:`Invoice Date`
+  of 2024.

-.. image:: customer_invoices/invoice06.png
+To change the invoice sequence with the structure INV/YYYY/MM/number, add `/MM` with the number of
+the month of the :guilabel:`Invoice date`. Odoo will recognize the "/" term as a month and update
+the future invoice sequence appropriately with the month of the :guilabel:`Invoice date`. For
+example, if the invoice date is January, change the sequence to `INV/2024/01/XXXXX`.

-Reconcile
---------
+In this case, if the :guilabel:`Invoice date` isn't aligned with the sequence number, a
+:guilabel:`Validation Error` message appears.

-Now let's reconcile!
+.. note::

-.. image:: customer_invoices/invoice07.png
+   - All sequence changes are logged in the chatter to keep the information.
+   - Sequence changes also affect the format of future invoices' sequences.

-You can now go through every transaction and reconcile them or you can mass reconcile with instructions at the bottom.
+.. _accounting/invoice/resequencing-one-invoice:

-After reconciling the items in the sheet, the related invoice will now
-display "You have outstanding payments for this customer. You can
-reconcile them to pay this invoice. "
+Resequencing a single invoice
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-.. image:: customer_invoices/invoice08.png
+To resequence the last confirmed invoice, click :guilabel:`Reset to Draft`, then change the
+sequence. The invoice now appears in red on the :guilabel:`Customer Invoices` list.

-.. image:: customer_invoices/invoice09.png
+.. _accounting/invoice/mass-resequencing:

-Apply the payment. Below, you can see that the payment has been added to
-the invoice.
+Mass-resequencing invoices
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-.. image:: customer_invoices/invoice10.png
+It can be helpful to resequence multiple invoice numbers. For example, when importing invoices from
+another invoicing or accounting system and the reference originates from the previous software,
+continuity for the current year must be maintained without restarting from the beginning.

-Payment Followup
----------------
+.. note::
+   This feature is only available to users with administrator or advisor access.

-There's a growing trend of customers paying bills later and later.
-Therefore, collectors must make every effort to collect money and
-collect it faster.
+Follow these steps to resequence invoice numbers:

-Odoo will help you define your follow-up strategy. To remind customers
-to pay their outstanding invoices, you can define different actions
-depending on how severely overdue the customer is. These actions are
-bundled into follow-up levels that are triggered when the due date of an
-invoice has passed a certain number of days. If there are other overdue
-invoices for the same customer, the actions of the most overdue invoice
-will be executed.

+- :guilabel:`Email`: this is the email Odoo can use to contact you regarding your Peppol
+  registration.
+
+If you want to explore or demo Peppol, you can choose to register in :guilabel:`Demo` mode.
+Otherwise, select :guilabel:`Live`.
+
+.. tip::
+   - Selecting :guilabel:`Demo` simulates everything in Odoo. There is no sending, receiving, or
+     partner verification.
+   - For **advanced users only**, it is possible to run tests on Peppol's test network. The server
+     allows to register on Peppol and send/receive test invoices to/from other participants.
+     To do so, enable the :ref:`developer-mode`, open the **Settings** app, go to
+     :menuselection:`Technical --> System Parameters`, and search for `account_peppol.edi.mode`.
+     Click the parameter and change the :guilabel:`Value` to `test`. Go back to the Peppol setup
+     menu in the **Settings** app. The option :guilabel:`Test` is now available.

+
+Once you enter the code and click :guilabel:`Register`, your Peppol participant status is updated.
+If you chose to only send documents, then the status changes to :guilabel:`Can send but
+not receive`.
+If you opted to receive documents as well, the status changes to :guilabel:`Can send, pending
+registration to receive`. In that case, it should be automatically activated within a day.
+
+Then, set the default journal for receiving vendor bills in the :guilabel:`Incoming Invoices
+Journal`.
+

+   To manually trigger the cron that checks the registration status, enable the
+   :ref:`developer-mode`, then go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Technical --> Scheduled Actions`,
+   and search for the :guilabel:`PEPPOL: update participant status` action.
+
+Your receiver application status should be updated soon after you are registered on the Peppol

+   To update the email that Odoo can use to contact you, modify the email and click
+   :guilabel:`Update contact details`.
+
+Configure Peppol services
+-------------------------
+
+Once you are registered on Odoo SMP, the :guilabel:`Configure Peppol Services` button
+becomes visible to allow you to enable or disable document formats that other participants
+can send you via Peppol. By default, all document formats supported by Odoo are enabled (depending
+on the installed modules).
+
+Contact verification
+--------------------
+
+Before sending an invoice to a contact using the Peppol network, it is necessary to verify that they
+are also registered as a Peppol participant.
+
+To do so, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Customers --> Customers` and open the customer's
+form. Then go to :menuselection:`Accounting tab --> Electronic Invoicing`, select the correct
+format, and make sure their :guilabel:`Peppol EAS code` and the :guilabel:`Endpoint` are filled in.
+Then, click :guilabel:`Verify`. If the contact exists on the network, their Peppol endpoint validity
+is set to Valid.
+
+.. image:: electronic_invoicing/peppol-contact-verify.png
+   :alt: verify contact registration
+
+.. important::
+   While Odoo prefills both the EAS code and the Endpoint number based on the information available
+   for a contact, it is better to confirm these details directly with the contact.
+
+It is possible to verify the Peppol participant status of several customers at once.
+To do so, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Customers --> Customers` and switch to the list view.
+Select the customers you want to verify and then click :menuselection:`Actions --> Verify Peppol`.
+
+If the participant is registered on the Peppol network but cannot receive the format you selected
+for them, the :guilabel:`Peppol endpoint validity` label changes to :guilabel:`Cannot
+receive this format`.

+
+Send invoices
+-------------
+
+Once ready to send an invoice via the Peppol network, simply click :guilabel:`Send & Print` on the
+invoice form. To queue multiple invoices, select them in the list view and click
+:menuselection:`Actions --> Send & Print`; they will be sent in a batch later on. Both
+:guilabel:`BIS Billing 3.0` and :guilabel:`Send via PEPPOL` checkboxes need to be ticked.
+
+.. image:: electronic_invoicing/peppol-send-print.png
+   :alt: Send peppol invoice
+
+Posted invoices that can be sent via Peppol are marked as :guilabel:`Peppol Ready`.

+click :guilabel:`Peppol ready invoices` on the corresponding sales journal.
+
+.. image:: electronic_invoicing/peppol-ready-invoices.png
+   :alt: Filter Peppol ready invoices

+Point.

+   By default, the Peppol status column is hidden on the Invoices list view. You can choose to have
+   it displayed by selecting it from the optional columns, accessible from the top right corner of
+   the Invoices list view.
+
+A cron runs regularly to check the status of these invoices. It is possible to check the status

+sales journal on the Accounting dashboard.

+These documents are imported, and the corresponding vendor bills are created automatically as
+drafts.
