Kuwait HR Payroll Localization - Accounting
Map Kuwait payroll rules to the official chart of accounts (l10n_kw)
For accountants posting Kuwait payslips. After Validate, open the journal entry from the payslip. The mapping table is the chart used on install.
You do not need screenshots: Features at a glance lists the Odoo screen for mapping, posting and payment.
This companion posts Kuwait payslips to accounting when slips are confirmed.
It uses the official Odoo localisation chart l10n_kw.
Technical name odoo_hr_payroll_kuwait_account will not clash with a future
official payroll-accounting module.
Requires Odoo 19 Enterprise Payroll Accounting,
l10n_kw, and odoo_hr_payroll_kuwait.

User Manual
The Typical posting run is the happy path. Use this if Kuwait posting fails.
- No journal entry. Company chart must be Kuwait (
l10n_kw). Switch company. Validate a draft slip (already-posted slips will not post again). - Accounts look wrong. Edit the salary-rule accounts after install. The mapping table on this page is the starting map.
- Net posted twice. Pay the employee payable once. Do not create a second entry for the same net.
- Payroll app missing. odoo_hr_payroll_kuwait (https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/19.0/odoo_hr_payroll_kuwait) must be installed first; this companion only posts.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions when posting country payslips.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| No journal entry after Validate. | The company's chart template must be Kuwait, and this accounting companion must be installed on that company. Switch company, then Validate again on a draft slip. |
| Can I change the accounts? | Yes. Adjust the salary-rule accounts after install if your CoA uses extra analytics. The table below is the starting map. |
| Do I still need the payroll app? | Yes. odoo_hr_payroll_kuwait computes the slip. This app only maps accounts and posts the entry. |
