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.

Key features

  • Multi-fund management

    Create, organize, and manage multiple petty cash funds across different companies, branches, or departments from one centralized system.

  • Voucher lifecycle

    Record and manage expense vouchers end to end, each linked to a specific fund for accountability and clean cash tracking.

  • Replenishment approvals

    Multi-level replenishment approval workflows with secure authorization, status tracking, and auto-generated journal entries on completion.

  • Spend policy controls

    Configurable spend limits, daily per-employee spending caps, and managed expense categories enforce policy at entry time.

  • Low-balance & critical alerts

    Automatically flag funds that fall below their configured minimum-balance threshold, surfaced as dashboard alerts.

  • Variance & physical count

    Track physical cash counts against recorded balances for variance analysis, keeping books reconciled to the drawer.

  • Real-time dashboard

    See total cash, available balance, monthly spending, draft vouchers, active replenishments, variance, and critical-fund alerts at a glance.

  • Audit-ready reporting

    Aging analysis, monthly expense tracking, analytical and pivot reports, plus Excel/CSV export for review and compliance.

Setup & configuration

From install to first call — here is the path.

  1. 1

    Set access rights

    Under Settings → Users & Companies, grant manager-level permissions to the users who will control funds; others get role-appropriate access.

  2. 2

    Review expense categories and policies

    Expense categories ship pre-configured for immediate use; adjust them and set spend-policy limits to match your organization.

  3. 3

    Create funds

    Create each petty cash fund with its accounting setup, limits, low-balance alerts, and approval matrix — per company, branch, or department.

  4. 4

    Operate and reconcile

    Record vouchers against funds, route replenishments through approval (journal entries auto-generate), and use physical-count tracking plus the dashboard and reports to reconcile and review.
