Guide / Copilot for Odoo / Attachments
Vendor bills
Attach the vendor's bill (PDF or photo) and ask the Copilot to record it. The Copilot reads it, finds the vendor by tax ID (NIF), checks for duplicates and that the amounts add up, and proposes the draft bill with the original attached.
Requirements
| Plan | Copilot for Odoo: Pro, Team or Business. |
|---|---|
| Permission in Conectores ERP | Crear y modificar registros (Create and update records) set to «Permitir» (Allow) or «Preguntar» (Ask). If it's set to «Bloquear» (Block), the Copilot reads the document but proposes nothing. With files in the conversation, «Permitir» works as «Preguntar». |
| Your Odoo user | Accounting: Invoicing (account.group_account_invoice) or higher. To create a new vendor, also Contacts: Contact Creation (base.group_partner_manager). |
| In Odoo | The purchase taxes for the rates on the bill (21%, 10%, 4%, IRPF withholding…). Odoo's Spanish localization already includes them. |
What it does
- Reads the vendor's tax ID, the number, the date, the lines, the tax base, the VAT, the withholding and the total from the document.
- Checks your Odoo: the vendor by tax ID (if it doesn't exist, it proposes creating it first), bills from the same vendor with the same number (blocks) or with the same amount and date (warns), and that base + VAT − IRPF = total.
- Picks the purchase taxes for those rates and proposes the draft vendor bill.
- When you approve, the bill is created as a draft with your user, and the original is attached as the main document.
It covers the usual Spanish cases: IRPF withholding for professionals, intra-EU VAT (reverse charge), equivalence surcharge (recargo de equivalencia) and several VAT rates on the same bill. Amounts are in your company's currency.
How to use it
- Record this bill
- It's a bill from Suministros Sur, record it in purchases
- Does this bill add up? If it does, record it
The approval card
- The document alongside, as a thumbnail, with a link to open it full size.
- Type (bill, credit note or purchase receipt), vendor with tax ID, number and date.
- The lines (description, quantity, price, taxes, amount) and the totals: tax base, VAT, withholding and total.
- The checks against Odoo, next to the data they refer to, and the Cuadra (Adds up) label when they all pass.
- If something that isn't in the bill summary is going to be saved, a «Además se grabará en Odoo» (Odoo will also record) notice, so you can check it against the document.
Troubleshooting
Quoted text is exactly what the app shows, in Spanish, followed by what it means. When the Copilot can't propose something, it explains why in the chat, in its own words.
| What you see | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The card doesn't let you approve and says the bill is already in Odoo | There's a bill from the same vendor with the same number. | Don't record it again; review the one that's already there. |
| Possible duplicate warning | There's another bill from the same vendor with the same amount and date. | Check it before you approve. |
| «Totales aproximados: una línea usa un impuesto que no se ha podido comprobar. Revisa los impuestos.»Means: approximate totals: a line uses a tax that couldn't be checked. Review the taxes. | A tax rate wasn't found in your Odoo. | Review the purchase taxes in Odoo. |
| «No se pudo adjuntar: …»Means: couldn't attach: … | The bill was created, but Odoo didn't accept the attachment. | Attach it manually in Odoo. |
| «Tu usuario de Odoo no tiene permiso para esta operación. Pide a quien administra tu Odoo que te dé acceso.»Means: your Odoo user doesn't have permission for this operation. Ask your Odoo administrator for access. | Your user can't create bills. | Ask for the Invoicing group. |
| «La propuesta ha caducado. Pide al Copiloto que la rehaga.»Means: the proposal has expired. Ask the Copilot to make it again. | 24 hours have passed. | Ask for it again (the file lasts 30 days). |
