Hello,

Setting a custom synchronization date is a common requirement when catching up on bookkeeping for the entire year. You are correct that the "Last Synchronization Date" field exists, but by default, Odoo makes it "Read-Only" to prevent accidental data gaps.

To make this field editable and fetch transactions from the start of the year, please follow these steps:

1. Enable Developer Mode

First, ensure Developer Mode (Debug Mode) is active. You can do this by going to Settings > General Settings and clicking "Activate the developer mode" at the bottom.

2. Access the Online Link

Instead of looking directly at the Journal, go to: Settings > Technical > Reporting > Online Synchronization Liaisons (or search for "Online Link" in the Technical menu).

3. Edit the Field

1. Find the specific Bank Account link you want to adjust.

2. Click on the "Last Synchronization" date field.

3. Even in Debug Mode, if it appears locked, click the "Edit" button at the top left.

4. Manually select your desired start date (e.g., 01/01/2024).

5. Click Save.

4. Re-synchronize

Go back to your Accounting Dashboard and click "Fetch Institutions" or "Synchronize Now". Odoo will now attempt to pull transactions starting from the new date you just saved.

Note: Most banks only allow fetching data up to 90 days or 1 year back, depending on their API policy.
