Jordan Checks Layout
Print vendor payment checks for Jordanian banks - bilingual Arabic / English, JOD & fils
Compatible with Odoo 19.0 | Built on Odoo's standard Check Printing workflow
What this app does
This app adds a Jordanian bank check layout to Odoo's built-in check printing. When you register a vendor payment by check and print it, the amount, date, payee and crossing marks are positioned precisely to fall onto the pre-printed fields of a standard Jordanian checkbook. It automatically detects whether the payee name is Arabic or English and prints the amount in words in the matching language and direction.
Key features
Bilingual layout
Right-to-left Arabic and left-to-right English, matched to pre-printed Jordanian checkbooks.
JOD & fils handling
Three-decimal fils precision with separate numeric boxes for Dinars (J.D.) and Fils.
Amount in Arabic words
Generates the amount spelled out in correct Arabic wording, including dinars and fils.
Courtesy titles
Optionally wrap an Arabic payee name with a courtesy title for a company, a male person, or a female person.
Crossed cheque
Draw the two crossing lines with optional text inside, such as a payee-only marking.
Per-company calibration
Fine-tune the printed position in millimetres so text lands exactly on your physical checks.
Note: For security, the app does not print the check number, bank branch, or signature. These remain pre-printed on your checkbook.
How to use it, step by step
Step 1: Install and select the Jordan layout
- Install Jordan Checks Layout from the Apps menu.
- Go to Accounting > Configuration > Settings > Vendor Payments.
- Set Check Layout to Jordan Standard, then save.
Step 2: Configure your bank journal
- Open your bank journal under Accounting > Configuration > Journals.
- On the Outgoing Payments tab, add Checks as a payment method.
Step 3: Register a vendor payment
- Create a vendor payment and set the Payment Method to Checks.
- Fill in the new Jordan check fields that appear:
- Post-dated Check Date: the date to print on the check (falls back to the payment date if left empty).
- Crossed Cheque: tick to print the two crossing lines.
- Inside the Cross: optional text printed between the crossing lines (shown only when crossed).
- Courtesy Title: appears automatically when the payee name is in Arabic; pick Company / Male / Female or your own.
- Set the Next Check Number to match the first check in your checkbook.
Step 4: Print the check
- Confirm the payment, then click Print Check.
- In your PDF reader, set print scaling to A4 so positions stay accurate.
- Feed your pre-printed check and print.
Calibrating for your printer
Every printer feeds paper slightly differently. To align the text perfectly:
- Print one check on plain A4 paper first.
- Hold it over a blank check against a window and note how many millimetres each field must shift.
- Go to Accounting > Configuration > Settings and adjust the Check Top Margin and Check Left Margin values.
- Re-print and repeat until the text lands exactly on the pre-printed fields.
Managing courtesy titles & crossing texts
The app ships with ready-to-use Arabic courtesy titles (Company, Male, Female). You can edit, delete, or add your own directly from the dropdowns on the payment form, or create reusable "Inside the Cross" texts the same way. Your changes are preserved across module upgrades.
