In Odoo, there is a module that allows you to record received checks, manage them in a portfolio, endorse them to suppliers, or deposit them in the bank.

Ideal for companies that:

• Regularly receive physical cheques as payment
• Need to track the circulation and due dates of checks.
• Want a traceable accounting and operational process

How to set it up?

Step 1: Install the module

• Go to Apps and install the module: l10n_latam_check 

Step 2: Configure the journal

Once the module is installed, a cash-type journal is automatically created, named “Cheques de Terceros”, with an assigned account:

• Select this same account in the incoming and outgoing payment methods:
