Note: use of french accounting plan

My client have a bank account, configured as a "Bank & Cash" type. By default, this account type is an asset (active) in the balance sheet.

But in case the bank account balance become negative (because it has an overdraft facility), it must become a Liability in the balance sheet (passive), and cannot be added to another positive balance from another bank account. This is the mechanism of
no-netting/no-offseting accounting (non-compensation comptable in french)

Is there an option / or simple configuration to achieve this in Odoo ? (my client is on v15)

Hi @Moustapha,

Thank you for your response,

It's been a long time, but I took the time to test, and unfortunately I cannot reproduce the steps that you are describing. It seems not to be the usual use case with Odoo Enterprise v15,

Do you use any specific module ?
Would it be possible to provide some screenshots for the main steps ? I cannot se the "account" tab or "overdraft" field mentioned

Best regards,

Yes, it is possible to configure a bank account as a liability in Odoo when the balance is negative. You can achieve this by using the "Contra Account" feature in Odoo.

Here's how you can set it up:

Go to the Accounting app and select Configuration > Chart of Accounts.
Create a new account with type "Liability" to represent the overdraft on the bank account.
Go to the bank account that you want to configure as a liability and select the "Account" tab.
In the "Overdraft" field, select the liability account that you just created.
Save the changes to the bank account.

This way, whenever the balance on the bank account becomes negative, it will automatically be recorded as a liability in the balance sheet. Additionally, the offsetting mechanism is disabled, meaning that the negative balance cannot be offset by positive balances in other bank accounts.

Please note that this is only supported in Odoo version 15 or higher. If you are using an earlier version, you may need to upgrade to the latest version to take advantage of this feature.
