Cash goes out with no ceiling. By the time the box is empty, nobody can say who spent what, or whether it was ever meant to be spent.

Standard Odoo posts a payment from a cash journal even when there is no cash left in it. The real limit lives in a spreadsheet, or nowhere at all.

Counting the physical cash and matching it to the books is manual, and a shortfall is discovered long after the money actually went missing.

Every outbound payment from a controlled journal is checked against its available cash. Overdraw it and Odoo stops the payment and shows the exact shortfall, before it posts.

Top an account back up to its limit with a single internal transfer from your bank or main cash journal. Reuse the same cash box as often as you need.

An OWL dashboard with clickable KPI tiles, an available-cash chart and a replenishment trend keeps the whole petty cash operation in one view.

Cap spending to the cash actually on hand, with an optional minimum floor the box can never be drawn below. Turn enforcement on or off per account.

Assign each cash box to a responsible person who sees only their own account and its balance, so accountability is built in.

The limit applies to any outbound payment: register payment on a vendor bill, an expense reimbursement, or a manual payment on the controlled journal.

Replenishment posts a single internal transfer from your bank or main cash journal into the petty cash account. Standard invoice and payment posting is untouched.

Count the physical drawer by denomination and compare it to the book balance, with an over or short variance recorded for every count.

Custodians view their own account and record counts. Only Petty Cash Managers create accounts, set limits and replenish, so who can top up is controlled.

Posted journal balance, less payments not yet cleared

Optional reserve the box is never drawn below

Every other entry is 100% standard Odoo

Point a cash or bank journal at a new petty cash account, name the custodian and set the spending limit.

Replenish the account. The module posts one internal transfer from your bank or main cash journal into the petty cash account.

Your team pays vendor bills, expenses and manual payments from the account, exactly as they do in standard Odoo.

Any payment that would overdraw the account is blocked with the shortfall shown, so the box can never go below its limit.

When the drawer is refilled or audited, run a denomination count and record any over or short against the book balance.
