Returnable Deposit & Container Ledger

Charge refundable deposits on bottles, crates, kegs and cylinders automatically, and always know exactly which customer is holding your containers - with a real per-customer ledger, aging buckets, a live Command Center and an optional AI reclaim workflow.

Key Features

A complete deposit engine with a real liability ledger underneath

Automatic Deposit Lines

Deposit lines are created, quantity-synced and cleaned up on sales and purchase orders without any manual work.

Central Deposit Ledger

Every deposit given out or returned is an immutable ledger movement, so balances are always auditable and exact.

Balance Per Customer

A Container Deposits smart button on every contact shows the outstanding containers and deposit value that customer still holds.

Guided Return Wizard

Pick a customer and the origin order, enter returned quantities and the wizard blocks any over-refund attempt - one click to issue the credit note.

Automatic Credit Notes

Confirmed returns post a customer credit note in one step, keeping accounting aligned with the ledger.

Command Center

A live dashboard with outstanding liability, containers in the field, holders, average age and open return requests - in light and dark mode.

Aging Buckets

Outstanding value is aged into 0-30, 31-60, 61-90 and 90+ day buckets so you can chase containers before they disappear.

Non-Return Risk Score

Every top container holder gets a 0-100 risk score bucketed into Reliable / Unproven / Money at risk - so you know where to focus first.

AI Reclaim Emails (Optional)

Draft personalised reclaim emails to high-risk holders via OpenAI, Anthropic or self-hosted Ollama - off by default, on when you flip the switch.

12-Month Trend + AI Digest

Given Out vs Returned chart over the last 12 months plus a weekly AI Deposit Digest summarising trends and next actions.

Refundable or Non-Refundable

One Deposit Mode setting: treat deposits as a refundable liability, or as a non-refundable fee - and choose whether to auto-issue credit notes.

Deposit Manager Access Right

A dedicated Deposit Manager extra right decides who can process returns and issue refunds - regular users see the ledger read-only.

Compatibility Notice

This module is tested and certified to work with the vanilla (standard, unmodified) edition of Odoo Community and Enterprise. It depends on the standard Sales Management, Purchase, Inventory and Invoicing modules. AI features are optional and require either an OpenAI / Anthropic API key or a self-hosted Ollama endpoint.

If your sales, purchase or invoicing workflow (or any third-party quotation / order-line customization) has been modified by another developer, the automatic deposit lines and Command Center may not render or function as expected. Please contact our support team before purchasing if you are running a heavily customized Odoo instance.
