Technical Details

Computed Fields

• is_reconciled: Boolean field that computes reconciliation status based on the presence of "Reconciliation:" in linked journal entry names

Search Filters

• "Hide Reconciled": domain="[('is_reconciled', '=', False)]"
• "Show All": domain="[]"

Dependencies

• account: Standard Odoo accounting module
• base: Standard Odoo base module

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Lines not hiding when filter applied: Ensure the is_reconciled computed field is properly stored in the database
2. Reconciliation errors: Verify that journal entries have proper account mappings
3. Performance issues: For large datasets, use the filter to reduce the number of displayed lines
4. Automatic reconciliation not working: Check that journal entry lines have matching accounts and sufficient balances for reconciliation
5. Reconciliation journal created but not properly linked: Verify that the reconciliation process is correctly matching accounts between the bank line and journal entry line
