Creation of different types of Expenses (Expense Products)
Odoo manages expense types as expense products. Expense products listed under the configurations of Expense Management App.
Expenses → Configurations → Expense Products →Create
Enter the details of the expense products. Under the invoicing tab, select Delivered quantities .
Re-invoicing Expense
Re-invoicing is required when the particular expense is for a customer, like any of our employees visited the customer site for any customer requested services. In such cases companies can re-invoice the amount to customer.
If the expense is for our own company purpose, then set ‘no’ to re-invoice expense.
At cost means the company is invoicing the exact expense amount to the customer and Sales price means the company can add a profit margin to the expense cost and invoice it to customer.
Setting of Cost
Setting of cost will depend on the nature of the cost. Some time a few companies will fix a particular amount to reimbursed. For an example:
• Travel with Personal Car:
• Cost: 0.30 (the price per mile reimbursed by the company is fixed)
But sometimes employees need to report the real cost per expense. Like restaurant bill and hotel bills. In such cases kept the cost as 0.
