Money that moves between accounts stays traceable
Move a journal item to another account and the link back to where it came from is a record, not a memory. Plus the accounting pieces Odoo leaves out: fiscal positions that tell a company from an individual, separate other-receivable and other-payable accounts per partner, and trial-balance accounts that carry both sides.
Viindoo Accounting (technical name viin_account) is an Odoo 19.0 app for Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise and Viindoo Cloud, built for accountant, chief accountant, auditor, implementer.
At a Glance
The facts of Viindoo Accounting, version 0.2.8, in one place. Published by Viindoo.
Key Features
Every accounting department moves entries: a receivable reclassified to another account, a cost pushed into the period it belongs to, money parked in a clearing account until it is allocated. Odoo can make the entry - the Automatic Entries wizard has done that for years - but afterwards nothing connects the new line to the old one, and three months later nobody can say which original invoice the balance in the transfer account came from. This app records that link. Each transfer writes an allocation: source line, destination line, amount, percentage, date and state, with a View Transfers button on both the entry and the journal item, and a list of every allocation in the database. An entry that is part of a transfer chain also refuses to be deleted, so the chain cannot be broken from the middle. Around that sit the accounting extensions the Viindoo apps rely on: a fiscal position that applies only to companies or only to individuals, other-receivable and other-payable accounts per partner, extra account types for financial reporting, and an account flag for the balances that legitimately show on both sides of a trial balance.
B2B and B2C fiscal positions
Apply a fiscal position only to companies, or only to individuals - the split VAT rules actually make.
Accounts for real reporting
Extra account types, and the flag for accounts that show on both sides of a trial balance.
Partner-level accounts
Other receivable and other payable per partner, alongside the standard receivable and payable.
Invoices and payments as usual
Nothing about the day-to-day changes: this layer sits under the invoicing you already run.
How It Works
Three steps, on the screens an accountant already uses.
Move the entry the normal way
Select the journal items and run Odoo's own Automatic Entries - change account, or change period. Nothing new to learn; the difference is what gets written alongside.
The link is recorded, not remembered
The generated entry carries a transfer allocation per line: which line it came from, how much of it, and what percentage. From either side, View Transfers opens the other end of the chain.
Read the whole clearing account
One list answers the question a transfer account always raises: what is this balance made of, and which entries put it there.
What You Get
Transfer allocations: every Automatic Entry records where the amount came from and what share of the original line it is
View Transfers on the journal entry and on the journal item - both directions of the chain
An entry that belongs to a transfer chain cannot be deleted, so the trail stays whole
Fiscal positions that apply only to companies or only to individuals - the B2B/B2C split core Odoo does not have
Other Receivable and Other Payable accounts per partner, company-dependent like the standard ones
Account types for financial reporting, and a flag for accounts that carry a balance on both sides in the trial balance
Account code validation and a log when a chart-template identity changes under you
Analytic grouping that returns the right totals when the analytic mixin is grouped
More Screens

What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
No country chart of accounts, no tax rules, no statutory reports - it is the customisation layer those sit on.
They are not created by payments or by reconciliation; the chain is recorded when an accountant deliberately moves an entry.
Odoo's own requirement: set the deferred expense and revenue accounts in Accounting settings, or the period change refuses the entry.
Trial balance, P&L and the rest come from Odoo's accounting reports or from the Accounting Analysis app.
