Quick help... I can't find the "Downpayment Account" field on any Product Category (first screenshot below). But some tutorials (and an old forum post answer 7 months ago) show it just after "Expense Account" (second screenshot). I can't find the latest documentation on this as well.
The field / configuration option you're looking for in Odoo 18.4 now only resides in Accounting -> Configuration -> Settings --> Section Accounting -> Default Accounts:

[IMP] sale, l10n_fr_account, l10n_be: improve down payment
Move the property_account_downpayment_categ_id field to the company (instead of product.category).
The reason for this is we want to simplify the downpayment accounts. Having one account per product category could lead to downpayment invoices with a lot of lines, as we split lines based on account. Now that we have only 1 account per company, we only split lines based on taxes.

Thank you Christoph! Very much appreciated!
Yeah I saw that Configuration Setting previously and set my account for downpayments there. I was very much confused as some videos and even the latest documentation (18.4 or even the Master) haven't been updated.
