I have requested help on your module failing to convert salary.  Below is what Manus AI reports as issue in module logic.  hr_payroll_multi_currency-18.0.1.0.0.zip

I've received the module source code. I will now extract it and analyze the code to understand how it handles currency conversion during journal entry creation. This will help me identify why the conversion from Malawi Kwacha to Australian Dollars is failing in your setup.

Based on the analysis of the hr_payroll_multi_currency module's source code and the provided screenshot, the issue of Malawi Kwacha (MWK) not converting to Australian Dollars (AUD) in your Odoo 18 payroll journal entries likely stems from one of the following reasons:

1. Incorrect Company Currency Configuration:

The module's core logic for currency conversion (lines 54-58 in hr_payroll_multi_currency/models/hr_payroll_account.py) explicitly checks if the payslip's currency (slip_currency) is different from the company's main currency (company_currency). If your Odoo instance's company currency is not set to Australian Dollars (AUD) but is instead set to Malawi Kwacha (MWK), or if it's not properly configured, this condition (slip_currency != company_currency) would evaluate to False. Consequently, the _convert function would not be called, and the amounts would be recorded in the journal entry without any conversion, effectively treating MWK amounts as AUD.

2. Missing or Incorrect Exchange Rates:

Even if the company currency is correctly set to AUD, the conversion will fail if Odoo does not have valid and up-to-date exchange rates between MWK and AUD for the accounting date of the payslip. The slip_currency._convert() method relies on these exchange rates to perform the conversion. If no rates are found, Odoo might default to a 1:1 conversion or use an outdated rate, leading to incorrect values in the balance sheet.

3. Employee Contract Currency Not Set to MWK:

The module's description emphasizes the importance of setting the employee contract currency. If the employee's contract currency is not explicitly set to MWK, the slip_currency might default to the company currency (AUD), again bypassing the conversion logic.

4. Interference from Other Modules or Customizations:

It is possible that another installed module or a custom modification is interfering with the hr_payroll_multi_currency module's intended behavior, particularly around how currencies are handled in journal entries or how the company_currency is determined.

Recommendations:

To resolve this issue, please perform the following checks and configurations in your Odoo 18 instance:

  • Verify Company Currency: Navigate to Settings > Companies > Your Company and ensure that the Currency field is correctly set to Australian Dollars (AUD).
  • Check Employee Contract Currency: For the relevant employees, go to their Employee Contracts and confirm that the Currency field is set to Malawi Kwacha (MWK).
  • Update Exchange Rates: Go to Accounting > Configuration > Currencies and ensure that current exchange rates for Malawi Kwacha (MWK) to Australian Dollars (AUD) are configured for the relevant periods. You may need to manually input or update these rates if automatic updates are not enabled or available for MWK.
  • Review Module Dependencies and Conflicts: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider temporarily disabling other accounting or payroll-related modules to check for conflicts. If you have any custom code related to payroll or accounting, review it for potential overrides of Odoo's standard currency handling or the hr_payroll_multi_currency module's logic.

By ensuring these configurations are correct, the hr_payroll_multi_currency module should be able to correctly convert the Malawi Kwacha amounts to Australian Dollars in your payroll journal entries, leading to accurate balance sheet reporting.

Hi,

I logged a ticked that your app is not entering correct value in the journal.  It is ignoring effective currency rate.  You have not responded to the request.
