What the Save button does in Amazon Connector for Odoo: a checklist

Before you open the screen

The Save button on the "Configure Automatic Amazon Invoicing" screen exists only in Odoo 19 and 20. The module is published for Odoo 17, 18, 19 and 20, but the button on this screen is not in 17 or 18.

The button label depends on the language of your Odoo. With Odoo in German the button is Speichern, in French Enregistrer, in Italian Salva and in Portuguese Guardar.

Before you start, tick these off:

• Your Odoo is 19 or 20. In 17 and 18 you will not find this button on that screen.

• You have the FlexigoTech Cloud subscription (Connector plan), which the module needs.

• You know which journal and which account you are going to choose. The button stores whatever is on the form, and both are fields you pick yourself.

While you fill in the form

The "Configure Automatic Amazon Invoicing" form has four fields that the button stores. Activate is on the form from the moment you open it. The other three (Journal, Clearing account and Auto-post entries) are hidden while Activate is unticked, and with the default values it is unticked. If you cannot see them, nothing is wrong: tick Activate first.

• Tick Activate. Until you do, Journal, Clearing account and Auto-post entries do not appear.

• Choose the Journal.

• Choose the Clearing account.

• Decide whether to tick Auto-post entries.

When you click Save

The button's code does two things, in this order:

1. It writes the four values on the form to the Amazon account: Activate, Journal, Clearing account and Auto-post entries.
2. It closes the window.

The four values are always written together, exactly as they stand on screen at that moment. The button does not store a single field on its own: if you have changed only one, the other three are still written with whatever the form shows.

• Review the four values before you click.

• Click Save. In Odoo 19 and 20 it is always visible, with no tick box deciding it.

• Check that the window closes: it is the last thing the button does.

After saving

If you want to change something later, open the form again, edit what you need and click Save again. Each click writes all four values once more.

• If you change the Journal or the Clearing account, click Save again: the button is what writes the values to the account.

• If you untick Activate, bear in mind that the button also writes Journal, Clearing account and Auto-post entries as they stand on the form at that moment.

Questions about the button

Cost and how we can help

The module is a one-off payment per Odoo version and needs the FlexigoTech Cloud subscription: the Connector plan costs €49 a month or €490 a year, excluding VAT, with up to three accounts on the platform. With the subscription, the module for newer Odoo versions is included if you bought it on flexigotech.com; on the Odoo App Store, each Odoo version is bought there. You can see the module on its Odoo Apps listing or on its page at flexigotech.com.

If you are implementing Odoo and want someone to review the journal and the account with you before you save, FlexigoTech implements Odoo 17, 18, 19 and 20 and builds custom connectors and integrations.
