Which debit went against which credit - on every entry, computed
Odoo tells you an entry balances. This tells you what balanced against what: every debit line paired with the credit line it offsets, with the amount, on the entry and in one searchable list.
Account Counterparts (technical name to_account_counterpart) is an Odoo 17.0 app for Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise and Viindoo Cloud, built for accountant, chief accountant, auditor, anyone filing statutory books.
At a Glance
The facts of Account Counterparts, version 1.0.6, in one place. Published by Viindoo.
Key Features
A journal entry with two lines needs no explanation. A journal entry with eleven does: which part of the receivable was the goods, which was the tax, which line of the payment covered which invoice line. Odoo stores the entry as a flat list of debits and credits that happens to balance; the pairing exists only in the accountant's head, and in the statutory reports of several countries it is required on paper. This module computes the pairing and stores it: for every posted entry, each debit line is matched to the credit lines it offsets, with the countered amount, and the entry carries a status - fully countered, partially, not at all. There is a list of every pair in the database, a wizard to generate them for entries posted before the module was installed, and a scheduled job that keeps up with new ones.
On the journal item too
The counterpart is available where the line is, not only on the entry.
Miscellaneous entries
The pairing is most useful exactly where entries are least obvious.
How It Works
Three steps, and every entry explains itself.
Post the entry as usual
Nothing changes in how entries are made. On posting, the pairs are computed - here the receivable against the product line and against the tax line, each with its amount, and the entry marked Fully Countered.
Read the pairs across the ledger
One list, searchable and groupable: which accounts face each other, how often, for how much. This is the view that answers "what was this account offset against last month".
Catch up on history
Entries posted before the module was installed are covered by the generator - a date range, the journals you choose, a batch limit, and a rule to skip entries above a line count. After that the scheduled job keeps up on its own.
What You Get
Debit line to credit line pairs, with the countered amount, computed on every posted entry
A Counterparts Mapping tab on the entry, and a Countered Status - fully, partially, not countered
One searchable list of every pair in the database, groupable by account, journal or period
A generator wizard for history: by date range, by journal, with a limit and a skip rule for very large entries
A scheduled job that counters new entries without anyone remembering to run it
The counterpart of a line is also on the journal item itself, so the answer is where the question is asked

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.
Counterparts are a computed mapping; nothing is posted, moved or reconciled by this module.
The generator has a line-count threshold on purpose - pairing a thousand-line entry is expensive and rarely useful. The threshold is yours to set.
Matching an invoice to its payment is reconciliation; this pairs the debit and credit sides inside one entry.
Nothing is computed retroactively on install; run the wizard for the periods you care about.
Works Well With
Apps from the same stack, built to fit this one:
Reconciliation Widget
For the other question: which payment settles which invoice.
viin_account_reconciliationWho Should Use Account Counterparts?
Accountant
Reads a large entry without reconstructing it on paper.
Chief accountant
Checks that an account was offset against the accounts it should have been.
Auditor
Follows a figure to the exact line on the other side, not to the entry as a whole.
Anyone filing statutory books
Has the debit-credit correspondence the format asks for, without a spreadsheet.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Account Counterparts do?
Odoo tells you an entry balances. This tells you what balanced against what: every debit line paired with the credit line it offsets, with the amount, on the entry and in one searchable list.
What does Account Counterparts not do?
It explains entries, it does not change them. Counterparts are a computed mapping; nothing is posted, moved or reconciled by this module. Very large entries can be skipped. The generator has a line-count threshold on purpose - pairing a thousand-line entry is expensive and rarely useful. The threshold is yours to set. It is not reconciliation. Matching an invoice to its payment is reconciliation; this pairs the debit and credit sides inside one entry. Historic entries need the generator. Nothing is computed retroactively on install; run the wizard for the periods you care about.
