Odoo created a document itself

Updated

This task appears when an order in Odoo shows a posted document, meaning an invoice or a credit note. Rechnungskit then doesn't issue its own invoice and holds the payment, because two invoices for the same sale can trigger VAT twice under § 14c UStG.

Odoo created a document itself
First hold, then resolve, then it continues by itself
  1. TriggerPosted document in OdooAutomatic Invoice or by hand
  2. RechnungskitOrder on holdNo second document, payment waits
  3. ThenThe task closes on its ownOnce Odoo no longer shows a posted document
Rechnungskit doesn't take over invoices from Odoo and changes nothing in Odoo.

How to resolve it

  1. Open the order from the task and note the document number from the task text.
  2. Check with your tax advisor what should happen to the Odoo document, especially if your customer already has it. This isn't legal or tax advice; if in doubt, they decide.
  3. If Rechnungskit should issue the invoice, the document must be cancelled in Odoo. On the next sync, within 15 minutes, the task closes and the order continues.
  4. Turn off Automatic Invoice in Odoo, under Website → Configuration → Settings, so this doesn't happen again. Out of the box, Odoo can't turn off the "Create Invoice" button, so tell your team too.

If Rechnungskit has already issued an invoice for this order, that invoice stays unchanged. There are then two documents for the same sale, and your tax advisor should see that soon.
