I'm using Odoo for the first time, and what I have is v18.4e (latest as of today, 7/25/25). It seems that creating reconciliation models have changed now, and there's no more option to create a type as suggested in the documentation: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/18.0/applications/finance/accounting/bank/reconciliation_models.html#invoices-bills-perfect-match
The latest documentation (v18) shows this:
But the actual screen I see using the latest version is this below, and from what I understand, it's only for creating a button type of Reconciliation Model:
Video tutorials still point to what the documentation shows. Some other changes I see:
- There's no more Accounting > Configuration > Banks: Reconciliation Models menu item. I had to go to the Dashboard and go to a bank "triple dot" menu on the upper right and choose "Reconciliation Model" to find this.
- Vanilla setup of Accounting Module does not have that "Invoices/Bills Perfect Match" reconciliation model anymore. Same for the "Partial Match" one.
I appreciate help on this, or clarification if the different types are now gone (and limited to just creating a button for creating a counterpart entry).
I have v17. The "Type" in the upper section to select either a "button" or a "rule" was VERY EASY to use. If they are eliminated in v18 this is a MAJOR LOSS for efficiency. Instead of an improvement, Odoo went backwards!! What a shame. The concept is NOT DIFFICULT. Since it was hard-coded by Odoo, clicking one of the 3 options would not BREAK Odoo. Good Grief. While the Odoo documentation has been historically very poor for most items, it was crystal clear describing how to successfully use the 3 options for efficiency in automatically reconciling a bank account.
