User & Company Default Analytic Account

Automate Analytic Distribution in Odoo 18

Author: Esteban Viniegra Perez Olagaray esteban@eviniegra.software
For Odoo 18 Community & Enterprise

Streamline your accounting workflow by automatically assigning analytic accounts to invoice lines based on User or Company defaults. Includes a powerful mass-update feature directly on the invoice.

Key Features

  • User-Level Defaults: Assign a specific analytic account to each user (e.g., for salespeople or department heads).
  • Company-Level Defaults: Set a fallback analytic account for the entire company.
  • Smart Priority Logic: The system automatically selects the best account based on a hierarchy: Invoice Header > Company > User.
  • Mass Update Tool: Use the "General Analytic Account" field on the invoice header to force a specific account onto all lines instantly.
  • Fallback Mechanism: If you remove the General Account, lines automatically revert to their default Company or User settings.
  • Odoo 18 Ready: Fully compatible with the new JSON-based analytic_distribution field.

Configuration

1. User Configuration

Go to Settings > Users & Companies > Users.

Open a user, go to the Access Rights tab, and find the Multi Companies section.


Define the specific analytic account for this user.

2. Company Configuration

Go to Settings > Users & Companies > Companies.

Open your company form. Check the General Information tab.


Set a fallback account if the user doesn't have one.

Usage Workflow

When creating an invoice, the system auto-fills the analytic distribution. You can also override everything using the header field.

  1. Automatic Assignment: As you add invoice lines, the system checks if a "General Analytic Account" is set on the header. If not, it checks the Company default, then the User default.
  2. Mass Editing: Select an account in the "General Analytic Account" field (in the invoice header). All existing lines will be updated immediately.
  3. Resetting: Clear the "General Analytic Account" field to restore the lines to their original defaults (Company or User based).
