Exporting to Odoo sends your Pemo activity straight into Accounting → Journal Entries as clean, balanced entries your accountant can review and post. No CSVs. No manual retyping.
This guide walks you through the export, step by step.
1. Before you export
To export a transaction from Pemo to Odoo, make sure the expense is fully coded.
In Pemo, for each transaction you want to export, you should:
Set the expense account (Chart of account).
If any key accounting value is missing, the transaction may stay in your export to-do list.
2. How to export a purchase transaction from Pemo
Follow these steps for a normal card expense.
Log in to Pemo.
Go to Accounting Export → Transactions.
Find the transaction you want to export to Odoo.
Make sure all the required accounting fields are filled (account, payment account, VAT, etc.).
Mark it as ready and then click Export
Pemo will now create a Draft journal entry in Odoo.
3. Where to find the transaction in Odoo
In Odoo:
Log in to your Odoo account.
Go to Accounting → Journal Entries.
Remove or adjust filters like Status = Posted.
Pemo sends all entries as Draft, so your accountant can review them first.
Look for the journal entry using:
Reference (invoice number or Pemo export ID), or
Amount / Date.
You’ll see the journal entry created by Pemo for that transaction.
4. How the journal entry is structured
Open the journal entry in Odoo and you’ll see the details Pemo sent.
Key fields:
Reference
If you set an invoice number in Pemo, it becomes the reference.
If not, Pemo sends the Pemo export reference ID instead.
Accounting date
Taken from the transaction in Pemo (e.g. transaction date).
Lines (debits and credits)
Typically, you’ll see:Credit line
Account: your Pemo payment account (wallet / bank).
Amount: total amount deducted.
Debit line – Expense
Account: the expense account you selected in Pemo.
Amount: net expense (excluding VAT).
Debit line – VAT
Account: VAT input (configured in Odoo settings).
Amount: VAT amount sent from Pemo.
Odoo ensures:
Total debit = total credit.
If the entry is not balanced, Odoo won’t let you save or post it.
5. How we handle exchange rates
Pemo keeps things simple for Odoo by exporting everything in local currency.
All journal entries from Pemo to Odoo are in your wallet currency (e.g. AED).
There is no foreign currency handling or exchange rate sent from Pemo.
For a USD purchase, Pemo exports the actual deducted amount in AED (or your local currency).
So in Odoo you always see the local currency value, ready for your books.
6. Attachments and descriptions
To see the supporting details in Odoo:
Attachment (receipt)
In the journal entry, click the attachment icon.
The receipt or invoice you attached in Pemo will be available there.
Description
The description / memo from Pemo appears in the journal entry lines, so your accountant can understand the context.
7. What about fees, reimbursements, and wallet movements?
From what we’ve covered:
Card expenses, reimbursements, wallet movements, and invoices
All are exported as journal entries in Odoo.
The structure is always:
Payment account vs. relevant expense / balance sheet accounts
Optional VAT line to VAT input, when applicable
Entry must balance (debits = credits).
Fees
The exact layout (extra lines vs. separate entries) depends on how your accounts and integration are configured.
Whatever the structure, Odoo still enforces balanced debits and credits.
If you rely heavily on fees, it’s a good idea to define a dedicated fee account in Odoo and make sure your Pemo mapping points there.
