Bank Statements
Bank statements bring your actual bank transactions into Odoo so they can be matched against recorded payments and invoices — a process called reconciliation.
Process lifecycle
Add a bank account
Before importing statements you need a bank account configured in Odoo. Go to Configuration → Add a Bank Account. A list of Malaysian banks appears. Select your bank and click Connect. If your bank is not listed, click Create it and enter the account number, bank name, and BIC manually.
Import a bank statement
From the Accounting Dashboard, click the three dots (⋮) next to your Bank widget and select Import Statement. Upload your bank statement file. Odoo will parse the file and create statement lines ready for reconciliation.
Online bank synchronisation
Odoo Enterprise supports direct connection to supported banks via a third-party provider. Click Online Synchronisation on the Bank widget to set up the connection. Once configured, Odoo will automatically pull new transactions on a schedule. Check Accounting → Configuration → Online Synchronisation for available Malaysian banks.
Create a bank statement manually
You can also create a bank statement manually by entering transactions directly. Enter the Reference, Journal, Date, Starting Balance, and Ending Balance. Then add individual transaction lines with their date, label, partner, and amount. This is useful for small volumes or when file import is not available.
