Chase overdue Odoo customer invoices

1. Open Accounting > Customers > Invoices and find the unpaid ones; Odoo's Aged Receivable report (Accounting > Reporting > Aged Receivable) shows outstanding customer invoices with their due dates.
2. Open an overdue invoice and click Send. In the Send window, choose the sending method (Email or Download); a customer's preferred sending method set on the contact is selected by default.
3. If follow-up levels are set up, Odoo bundles its follow-up actions by how many days an invoice is overdue, and with several overdue invoices the actions apply to the most overdue one.
4. Repeat for every overdue invoice, then check next week which of them turned Paid.

List the customer invoices in Odoo that are posted, unpaid and past their due date. For each one older than 14 days, resend the invoice by email and give me a list of what you sent, sorted by amount.

1. 01

   Pull the unpaid invoices

   The agent calls list_invoices with status posted, payment_status not_paid and overdue true, so drafts and already paid invoices never enter the list. It pages with offset until the list is empty.

2. 02

   Apply your age rule

   Each invoice is compared with the cut-off in your prompt, for example more than 14 days past the due date. Younger ones are left alone and listed as "not yet due for a nudge".

3. 03

   Check the contact

   For each invoice the agent calls get_invoice and reads the contact email. An invoice whose contact has no email address is skipped and reported, because there is nobody to send to.

4. 04

   Resend with your OK

   send_invoice runs once per invoice and reaches your customer, so each call waits for your OK until you switch confirmation off for send_invoice. The agent never changes the invoice itself.

5. 05

   Report the list

   The agent returns what it sent, what it skipped and why, sorted by amount, so you can phone the largest accounts yourself.
