Issue invoices and register payments
100100
====================================
101101

102-
You can issue invoices for Amazon orders in Odoo. Click **Create Invoice** in the sales order to do
103-
so. You can also do it in batch from the list view of orders. Then, confirm and send the invoices to
104-
your customers.
102+
Issue invoices
103+
--------------
104+
105+
Sending invoices to Amazon customers directly from Odoo is not feasible due to Amazon's policy of
106+
not sharing customer email addresses. Instead, it is possible to manually upload the invoices
107+
generated on Odoo to the Amazon backend.
108+
109+
In addition, for your B2B clients, it is currently required to manually retrieve VAT numbers from
110+
the Amazon backend before creating the invoice in Odoo.
111+
112+
.. note::
113+
For :doc:`TaxCloud <../../../finance/accounting/taxes/taxcloud>` users: invoices created from
114+
Amazon sales orders are **not** synchronized with TaxCloud, since Amazon already includes them in
115+
its own tax report to TaxCloud.
116+
117+
Register payments
118+
-----------------
119+
120+
As customers pay Amazon as an intermediary, creating a dedicated *Bank* journal (for example, named
121+
`Amazon payments`) with a dedicated *Bank and Cash* intermediary account is recommended.
122+
123+
In addition, as Amazon makes a single monthly payment, selecting all the invoices linked to a single
124+
payment is necessary when registering payments. Use the dedicated `Amazon payments`
125+
:guilabel:`Journal` and select :guilabel:`Batch Deposit` as the :guilabel:`Payment Method`. Then,
126+
select all the payments generated and click :menuselection:`Actions --> Create batch payment -->
127+
Validate`.

.. tip::
107-
To display only Amazon-related orders on the list view, you can filter orders based on the sales
108-
team.
109-
110-
As the customer has paid Amazon as an intermediary, you should register invoice payments in a
111-
payment journal dedicated to Amazon (e.g. Amazon Payments, with a dedicated intermediary account).
112-
You can do the same with the vendor bill received from Amazon and dedicated to commissions. When you
113-
receive the balance on your bank account at the end of the month and record your bank statements in
114-
Odoo, you simply credit the Amazon intermediary account by the amount received.
130+
The same can be done with vendor bills from Amazon dedicated to commissions. When the balance is
131+
received in the bank account at the end of the month and the banks statements are recorded,
132+
credit the Amazon intermediary account by the amount received.
