Partial Payslip Payment - Pay Salaries in Installments

Pay employee salaries partially or selectively from a payslip batch. Perfect for advance payments, partial settlements, cash flow management, or handling complex payroll scenarios where employees need partial payments before month-end.



Problem: All-or-Nothing Payslip Payments

In standard Odoo Payroll, you can only pay the entire net amount of a payslip at once - no partial payments, no selective payments across employees.

This creates significant challenges for real-world payroll scenarios:

  • No way to process salary advances or advance payments before month-end
  • Cannot pay partial salaries when cash flow is tight
  • No option to pay selected employees while delaying others
  • Cannot track partial payments or remaining balances
  • No visibility into how much has been paid vs remaining due per employee
  • Payroll batches show only "Paid" or "Not Paid" - no partial status
  • Manual workarounds using journal entries are error-prone and time-consuming


Solution: Selective & Partial Payslip Payments

This module adds a "Generate Payment (Partial)" button to payslip batches. Open a wizard where you can select which employees to pay and enter partial payment amounts. The system creates journal entries for each payment, tracks running totals of paid amounts, and updates payslip states to Partial or Paid accordingly. Perfect for salary advances, cash flow management, or selective payroll runs.



Key Features
  • Selective Employee Payment: Choose exactly which employees to pay from a batch
  • Partial Amount Payment: Pay any amount up to the remaining balance
  • Remaining Balance Tracking: Automatically tracks how much has been paid vs remaining due
  • Payslip State Management: New Partial state for partially paid payslips
  • Batch State Propagation: Batch automatically updates to Partial or Paid based on payslip states
  • Automatic Journal Entry Creation: Creates proper accounting entries for each payment
  • Payment Date Control: Specify payment date for each batch
  • NET Account Validation: Validates that NET salary rule has a credit account configured
  • Payment Amount Validation: Prevents overpayment beyond remaining balance
  • Statusbar Integration: Partial state appears in payslip and batch statusbars
How It Works

1. Create Payslip Batch with Done Payslips

Create a payslip batch, generate payslips, and confirm them to "Done" state.

Guide: Using Selective Payslip Payment

Step 1: Create and Confirm Payslip Batch

Go to Payroll -> Payslip Batches. Create a new batch, add employees, and generate payslips. Compute, confirm, and validate all payslips to the "Done" state.

Step 2: Open Selective Payment Wizard

Open the payslip batch form. In the header, click the new "Generate Payment (Partial)" button (only visible when batch state is Close or Partially Paid).

Step 3: Configure Payment Settings

In the wizard, configure:

  • Payment Journal: Select the bank or cash journal for payments
  • Payment Date: Set the date for the accounting entries

Step 4: Select Employees and Enter Payment Amounts

In the "Payment Lines" tab, each payslip shows:

  • Select: Checkbox to include this employee in payment
  • Due Amount: Total net salary due
  • Already Paid: Amount already paid (from previous partial payments)
  • Remaining: Amount still due
  • Payment Amount: Enter the amount to pay this time (cannot exceed remaining)

Check the employees you want to pay and enter the desired payment amounts.

Step 5: Confirm Payment

Click "Confirm Payment". The system:

  • Creates a journal entry for each selected payslip
  • Updates the payslip's total_paid_amount
  • Sets payslip state to Partial (if partially paid) or Paid (if fully paid)
  • Updates batch state to Partially Paid or Paid
  • Records the payment date on fully paid payslips
Pro Tip - Salary Advances Made Easy

Use this module to process salary advances mid-month. When an employee requests an advance, open the current month's payslip batch, select only that employee, and enter the advance amount. The system creates the payment journal entry, tracks the advance, and the remaining balance stays marked for final month-end payment. Perfect for companies that offer salary advances or have monthly payroll with mid-month partial payments.

Important - NET Account Configuration

Before using this module, ensure your payroll structure's NET rule has a Credit Account configured. Go to Payroll -> Configuration -> Salary Rules -> Find "NET" rule -> Set "Credit Account" to the liability account for employee salaries (e.g., "Salaries Payable"). Without this, the payment journal entry cannot be created.

Use Cases

Salary Advances

Process mid-month salary advances - pay a portion early, track remaining balance for month-end.

Cash Flow Management

Pay selected employees when cash is available, delay others until later date.

Commission-Based Pay

Pay base salary on time, pay commissions later when earned - partial tracking maintains accuracy.

Expatriate Payroll

Pay local currency portion locally, home currency portion separately - partial payments enable split.

Garnishment Management

Deduct court-ordered garnishments from salary, pay remaining amount to employee.

Separation Payments

Pay final settlement in installments - track each partial payment against total due.
