Auto-Validate Invoices & Bills
Stop clicking "Confirm" on every invoice. Automatically validate customer invoices, vendor bills, and refunds upon creation.
Overview
Odoo Accounting Automation
The Auto-Validate Invoices & Bills module eliminates the repetitive manual step of confirming every invoice and bill in Odoo. When enabled, customer invoices, credit notes, vendor bills, and refunds are automatically posted the moment they are created — saving your accounting team hours of work every week. The module also introduces smart wizards that let you choose the Accounting Date and Journal before generating invoices from Sales Orders or bills from Purchase Orders.
Key Features
Auto-Post Customer Invoices
Automatically validate and post customer invoices and credit notes upon creation. No more manual "Confirm" clicks.
Auto-Post Vendor Bills
Automatically validate and post vendor bills and refunds upon creation. Keep your payables always up to date.
Smart Invoice Wizard (SO)
When creating an invoice from a Sales Order, a wizard prompts you to choose the Accounting Journal and Date before generation.
Smart Bill Wizard (PO)
When creating a bill from a Purchase Order, a wizard prompts you to choose the Purchase Journal and Accounting Date before generation.

Step 1: Activate Auto-Validation
Go To: Invoicing → Settings → Auto-Validate Documents
Enable auto-validation for Customer Invoices, Vendor Bills, or both. Each option works independently — configure exactly what your business needs.
Step 2: Create Invoice from Sales Order
Click "Create Invoice" on a confirmed Sales Order. A custom wizard prompts you to select the Accounting Journal and Accounting Date before the invoice is generated and auto-posted.
Step 3: Create Bill from Purchase Order
Click "Create Bill" on a confirmed Purchase Order. The same wizard experience lets you pick the Purchase Journal and Accounting Date before the vendor bill is generated and auto-posted.
Result: Instantly Posted
The invoice or bill skips the Draft stage entirely and lands directly in "Posted" status — no manual confirmation needed. Your books are always current.
