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.

Benefits

Save Hours Every Week

Eliminate the repetitive "Draft → Confirm" step on every invoice and bill. Documents post automatically — your team can focus on higher-value tasks.

Reduce Human Error

No more forgotten draft invoices at month-end. Every document is confirmed and accounted for immediately.

Full Control Over Journal & Date

Choose the exact Accounting Date and Journal before generating invoices or bills from SO/PO — no surprises in your books.

Native Odoo Integration

Extends standard Odoo Accounting, Sales, and Purchase modules. No extra dependencies, no external APIs — clean, maintainable code.

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.
