Since odoo/documentation#903, the guideline for the location of new resource (images, downloadable files, RST includes...) files is to place those inside the directory of the RST page that references them. For example, if `doc1.rst` has a reference to `image.png` and to `download.zip`, the file structure should look like this: ├── parent_doc/ │ └── doc1/ │ │ └── image.png │ │ └── download.zip │ └── doc1.rst │ └── doc2.rst ├── parent_doc.rst Before this commit, most of the resource files were still located inside 'media' directories holding all the resource files referenced by RST pages located at the same level as these directories. In the example above, a single 'media' directory would hold all the resource files referenced by both `doc1.rst` and `doc2.rst`. Doing so prevented us from figuring out easily which resource file was referenced by which RST page and, thus, lead to unused resource files piling up in the repository. It also made it more complicated to define codeowners regex rules because a team could not simply be assigned to `/some_page.*` but needed to be assigned to both `/some_page\.rst` and to the location of 'media'. In order to help new content writers figure out the guideline when taking examples from other RST pages, this commit retroactively applies the guideline to existing resource files and 'media' directories. The left-over resource files that are not referenced by any RST page are removed. task-2497965 Part-of: odoo/documentation#2068

Offer cash discounts
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Cash discounts are incentives you can offer to customers to motivate
|
|
them to pay within a specific time frame. For instance, you offer a 2%
|
|
discount if the customer pays you within the first 5 days of the
|
|
invoice, when it is due in 30 days. This approach can greatly improve
|
|
your average collection period.
|
|
|
|
Set up a cash discount
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
To set up a cash discount, go to :menuselection:`Accounting -->
|
|
Configuration --> Management --> Payment Terms` and click on
|
|
*Create*. Add a *Percent* type of term with a corresponding value
|
|
(e.g. 98% of the total price for a 2% discount) and the number of days
|
|
during which the offer is valid. You can also change the default balance
|
|
term if needed.

Start offering the cash discount
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Now, you can create a customer invoice and select the cash discount
|
|
payment term you added. Once the invoice is validated, Odoo will
|
|
automatically split the account receivables part of the journal entry
|
|
into two installments having different due dates. Since the discounted
|
|
price is already calculated, your payment controls will be simplified.

Grant the cash discount
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
The customer fulfilled the payment terms and therefore benefits from the
|
|
cash discount. When you process the bank statement, match the payment
|
|
with the related journal entry. Then, select the remaining cash discount
|
|
and click on *Create Write-off* to reconcile it.

|
.. tip::
|
|
You can also create a dedicated reconciliation model to make
|
|
the process easier. In this case, you should add a tax to the model
|
|
based on the taxes applied to your invoices. This means that if you
|
|
handle multiple tax rates, you need to create several reconciliation
|
|
models. Note that depending on your localisation, you might already have
|
|
a Cash Discount model available by default.
|
|
|
|
Register the full payment
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
In this case, the customer has not fulfilled the payment term and cannot
|
|
benefit from the cash discount. When you process the bank statement,
|
|
match the payment with the two related journal entries.
