Miscellaneous entries impacting the client account will be excluded from the reports by default. The Partner Ledger includes additional options and is displayed similarly to a customer statement, with unnecessary columns hidden. It can also be sent directly to customers.
Import matching numbers
Add a matching_number to your CSV import of lines. Odoo will wait for all related account moves to be posted and try to reproduce the reconciliation when that happens. If it fails, the imported reconciliation will be discarded.

Overdue invoices and online payments
Customers are shown overdue amounts on their portal. Smart links are provided both on the portal and in follow-up reports to proceed with quick online payment of overdue amounts.
Partner payment method

Payments without accounting entries
Payments do not create an accounting move unless an outstanding account is set on the linked payment method.
Peppol
Send invoices on the Peppol network while still receiving your bills in any other system.

Reconciliation wizard
The amount is editable when reconciling a single journal item through the reconciliation wizard, allowing for partial write-offs.
Register payment on draft invoices
It is now possible to register payments on draft invoices and bills via the action menu.
Sales taxes price included/excluded
All standard sales taxes now follow a new company setting defining them as price-included or price-excluded, making onboarding and database setup easier. Individual taxes can be forced as being price-included or price-excluded when needed, overriding the default company setting.
SEPA Direct Debit (SDD)
The SEPA Direct Debit (SDD) flow and UX have been improved. Mandates can be sent through a Send & Print action. The pre-notification period is chosen on the mandate and determines when the mandatory notification will be sent to a debtor before a collection.
SEPA ISO 20022
The SEPA module has been refactored to clearly distinguish between the ISO20022 and SEPA payment methods.
Shared accounts between companies
The same account can now belong to multiple companies, and accounts from different companies can be merged.
Split balance sheet horizontally
Balance sheet can now be presented in two halves next to each other to satisfy various regional display preferences.

When importing a UBL (XML) invoice, Odoo will populate the bank account found in the XML on the partner if possible.
