Petty Cash Dashboard & Expense Manager
Run small-cash spending with real accounting rigor — multiple funds, voucher lifecycle, replenishment approvals, spend limits, and audit-ready reports.
Overview
Petty cash is where accounting discipline usually breaks down — handled in a drawer and a spreadsheet, with no approvals, no audit trail, and no real-time balance. This module brings it into Odoo with the same controls as the rest of the ledger.
Create and manage multiple funds across companies, branches, or departments from one place, each with its own balance, limits, alerts, and approval matrix. Expenses flow through a voucher lifecycle linked to a specific fund, so every rupee or dollar is attributable. Policy controls enforce configurable spend limits, daily per-employee caps, and managed expense categories, while role-based access keeps fund control with authorized users.
When a fund runs low, the module flags it against its minimum-balance threshold and routes replenishment through multi-level approvals that auto-generate the journal entries on completion. A real-time dashboard shows total cash, available balance, monthly spend, draft vouchers, active replenishments, variance, and critical-fund alerts; physical-count tracking supports variance analysis; and aging analysis, monthly tracking, analytical and pivot views, plus Excel/CSV export keep it audit-ready.
