Demo video: Account Delegation Partner
Problems
In daily operations, there will be situations where your company is delegated by a partner to pay for some expenses, or you need to delegate another partner to receive certain revenues. As a company owner, you want to register and follow these payments related to that exact delegated partner.
Example: Each month, a company pays expenses such as phone fees, transportation fees, etc. on behalf of their employees since they have a better deal. The company then needs to register these expenses for each employee and deduct it from their employees' payslips for the corresponding month.

Instructions
Instruction video: Account Delegation Partner
Example:
- Company pays the phone fee on behalf of its employees.
 
- The payment will be debited from the corresponding employee's payable account in the payslip.
 
Initial settings
- Create an accounting account in the Current Asset type. E.g: 13881 - Other Receivables (in Vietnam Accounting).
 
- Create the Employee mobile phone fees product with the 13881 - Other Receivables as the dedicated expenses account.
 
- Create a salary rule with the following configuration:
 
- Debit Account: Employee payables account (E.g: 334 - Employee Payables according to the Vietnam Accounting Standard).
 
- Credit Account: The current asset account created in the first step (E.g: 13881 - Other Receivables).
 
- Python code for the salary computation:
 
result = sum(employee.env['account.move.line'].sudo().search([
          ('partner_id','=',employee.sudo().address_home_id.commercial_partner_id.id),
          ('date','>=',payslip.date_from),
          ('date','<=',payslip.date_to),
          ('account_id.code','=','13881'),
          ('parent_state','=','posted')]
          ).mapped('balance'))
Note: You need to install the Viindoo Payroll app or use the Odoo Enterprise version to have this whole workflow works properly.
