Hi
I have set my account to customer down payment in Settings / Accounts:
I have also set a Fiscal Position for this prepayment account:
However, when creating an invoice, the system ignores the Fiscal Position settings and always assigns the invoice to the account set in Account / Settings / Downpayment.
Am I missing something, or is this a bug?
I'm using Odoo 19 Online.
Hi Italo Grossi ,
I hope you are doing great.
This is expected behavior in Odoo Online.
Customer Down Payment invoices always use the account configured in Accounting → Settings → Customer Down Payment Account and do not follow Fiscal Position account mapping.
So this is not a bug, but a standard system design in Odoo Online.
Please let me know if you’d like to discuss possible workarounds.
Thanks & Regards.

This is expected behavior, not a bug.
In Odoo 19 Online, the Customer Down Payment account defined in Accounting → Settings is treated as a technical / forced account. Fiscal Positions are not applied to this account when the down payment invoice is generated.
Why this happens:
Down payment invoices are created using a special flow (sales advance payment)
The account is taken directly from Accounting Settings
Fiscal Position account mapping is bypassed by design
Only taxes are consistently mapped via Fiscal Position in this flow
What you are not missing:
Your Fiscal Position is correctly configured
Odoo simply does not apply account mapping for down payment accounts
Possible solutions:
Odoo.sh / On-Premise
Override the down payment invoice creation logic
Manually apply Fiscal Position account mapping in code
Odoo Online (SaaS)
Not customizable
Only workaround is to:
Use different down payment accounts per company
Or manually adjust the account after invoice creation

ok. Thank you for the reply. For the time being I'll just change the account manually when creating the downpayment invoice. Not looking for any custom solution at the moment.
