The Problem
In the accounting feature, a single journal entry may contain multiple debit journal items and multiple credit journal items. However, there is no way for us to identify the countered line(s) of a line and its countered account(s) which may cause some troubles when:
- Making reports that require showing up counterparts and countered accounts of a transaction.
- Identifying types of business transactions. For example, according to Vietnam Accounting Standards, revenues are from both loan interests and exchange. rate profit is also encoded into account 515. It is impossible to build a Cash Flow Statement while it requires separating those revenues.
Features at a glance
Create counterpart links for journal items, providing essential information to support the handling of accounting operations.
| ID | Account | Countered Accounts | Debit | Credit | Countered Journal Items |
| 1 | 131 | 5111, 5113 | 150 | 0 | [2], [3] |
| 2 | 5111 | 131 | 0 | 100 | [1] |
| 3 | 5113 | 131 | 50 | [1] |
Features in Details
- Automatically create counterparts generator when entering journal entries
- When an accounting entry is entered, the system automatically creates counterparts generator from the entries: - For entries with only one Debit and one Credit, the system creates a corresponding link between these two entries. - For entries with multiple Debit entries corresponding to multiple Credit entries or vice versa, the system creates counterparts generator with the following priority order: Prioritize pairs of entries with the same counterpart, with equal values that can be matched, the remaining entries will be created counterparts generator according to the ratio.
- Create corresponding links
- Allows the Chief Accountant to create missing counterparts for account entries or recreate counterparts for all existing entries.
- It also allows limiting the number of entries when creating by selecting one or more journals.
- Cron Job: Create Counterpart scheduler
- Use the "Scheduled Actions" menu in the system or write code to configure a cron job to run periodically, such as daily or weekly.

Technical Description
Journal Items
The following key stored and computed fields have been added to the Journal Item model (account.move.line):
- Countered Journal Items: the journal items that are counterparts of the current journal item.
- Countered Accounts: the accounts that are counterparts of the account of the current item.
- Countered Amount: The matched amount that has been set as countered amount for this journal item.
- Countered Status: A technical field to indicate that the journal item has either countered fully or partially or not-yet-countered.
Journal Entries
The following key stored and computed fields have been added to the Journal Entry model (account.move):
- Countered Status: A technical field to indicate that the journal entry has either countered fully or partially or not-yet-countered.
Wizards
Counterparts Generator is a wizard to allow the accounting manager to either generate missing counterparts for account journal items or regenerate counterparts for all the existing items. It also allows you to limit the number of entries during generation by selecting one or more journals.
Journal Item Counterparts
A new technical model named 'Journal Item Counterpart' (account.move.line.ctp) is created to map a credit journal item with a debit journal item which has the following key fields:
- dr_aml_id: The debit journal item (also known as 'account move line').
- cr_aml_id: The credit journal item.
- countered_amt: the amount that matches the counterpart operation of the two journal items above mentioned.
When a counterpart operation is carried out, a new record of the Journal Item Counterpart model will be created to map a credit journal item with a debit journal item to indicate that the later journal item is a counterpart with a countered amount.
