This module allows you to easily compute the prepaid revenue/expenses
and also the revenue/expense accruals by using the **Start Date** and
**End Date** fields of invoice lines/journal items.

For example, if you have an insurance contrat invoiced in April 2020
that run from April 1st 2020 to March 31st 2021, you will enter these
dates as start and end dates on the supplier invoice line. If your
fiscal year ends on December 31st 2020, 3 months of expenses are part of
the 2021 fiscal year and should not be part of the 2020 fiscal year. So,
thanks to this module, you will create a *Prepaid Expense* on December
31st 2020 and Odoo will identify this expense with the 3 months that are
after the cut-off date and propose to generate the appropriate cut-off
journal entry.

Another example: you have a UPS invoice dated January 5th 2021 that
covers the shipments of December 2020. When you encode this vendor bill,
set the start date as December 1st 2020 and the end date as December
31st 2020. Then, thanks to this module, you will create an *Expense
Accrual* dated December 31st 2020 that will generate a cut-off journal
entry that will "move" the UPS expense from 2021 to 2020.

Configuration
=============

Please refer to the **CONFIGURATION** section of the README of the
module *account_cutoff_base*.

Usage
=====

To compute the prepaid revenue, go to the menu *Accounting > Cut-offs >
Prepaid Revenue* and click on the *Create* button. Enter the cut-off
date, check that the source journals contains all your sale journals and
click on the button *Re-Generate lines*: Odoo will scan all the journal
entries of the source journals and will get all the lines that have an
end date after the cut-off date and, for each line, it will compute the
prepaid revenue. If you agree with the result, click on the button
*Create Journal Entry*: Odoo will generate an account move at the
cut-off date to cut these prepaid revenue. Hint: you can then use the
reversal feature to generate the reverse journal entry on the next day.

If you need to answer a question such as *How much revenue did I already
invoice for my next fiscal year ?*, you will be interested by the
*forecast* feature. For that, on the Prepaid Revenue form, click on the
*Forecast* option and you will see 2 new fields: *Start Date* and *End
Date*. Enter the start date and the end date of your next fiscal year
and click on the button *Re-Generate lines*: you will see all the
revenue that you already have in your source journals for that period.
