hi Odoo community
I found the settings for deferred expenses in the Accounting Settings, and found the Deferred Expenses report, where deferral entries can be generated with the Generate Entries button. However, I didn't find similar settings or a button for accrued expenses.
Is there a way to generate accrual entries in the miscellaneous journal for postpaid expenses?
This is our use case:
For our company, the accounting year ends June 30th. In November each year, there comes a bill that charges a cost that applies to the ongoing calendar year. So this cost is for 181 of 365 days in the previous accounting year and thus needs to be accrued accordingly. On the vendor bill line we use the Start Date Jan 1st and End Date Dec 31st.
I'm looking forward to your advice and remarks, kr Sidney
UPDATE: For clarity, this is a question about Vendor Bills for which the resulting cost needs to be accrued to an earlier accounting period, similar to how some costs sometimes need to be deferred to a later accounting period.
