Petty Cash Control

Petty Cash Control puts a real ceiling on the cash your team spends out of the drawer. Instead of letting Odoo post a payment from a cash journal even when there is nothing left in it, you link the journal to a petty cash account with a custodian and a hard limit, and the module stops any payment that would overdraw it, before anything posts.

What it does

You turn a cash or bank journal into a controlled petty cash account, assign a custodian and set the limit. Your team then spends exactly as they do today, by registering payment on a vendor bill, reimbursing an expense or making a manual payment. The difference is that Odoo checks the cash on hand first: if a payment would overdraw the account, it is blocked with a clear message showing the shortfall, and nothing posts. When the cash runs low a manager replenishes the account in one click, and the only entry the module ever creates is a single internal transfer that moves cash from your bank or main cash journal into the petty cash account, so standard Odoo accounting is never changed. A live OWL dashboard shows every account's available cash, limits and recent replenishments, and denomination-based cash counts let you reconcile the physical drawer against the book balance and record any over or short.

Who it's for

Finance and accounting teams that hand cash to branches, desks, sites or cashiers and need a real limit on it, not a spreadsheet. Anyone running petty cash, an imprest fund or a cash float in Odoo who wants spending capped to the cash on hand, clean one-click replenishment and a proper count of the drawer, without changing how Odoo posts everything else.
