Expense reports are gone in Odoo 19 and 20: how to group expenses again

What changed in Odoo 19

Odoo removed the expense report (hr.expense.sheet) in version 19, arguing that most reports held a single expense. You can still select several expenses in the list and submit or approve them together, and employee-paid expenses submitted together become one bill per employee. What is gone is the report itself: one record per trip or month, approved as a whole, printed and paid in one go.

If you need to bill a client for the receipts

1. Give the expense products the re-invoice policy At cost (or Sales price).
2. Set the client's sales order on each expense.
3. Submit, approve and post the expenses. Each one is added as a line on the sales order.
4. Invoice the sales order once.

That is standard Odoo and needs no add-on.

If you need the report back

Expense Report Sheets puts the report on top of Odoo 19 and 20's own expense flow:

• Select draft expenses and click Create Report, or start a report and add expenses to it.
• Submit, approve or refuse the whole report. Odoo's own approver rules and duplicate checks run on every expense.
• Posting the report creates one journal entry, and Register Payment reimburses the employee in one go.
• Print the report with signature lines, and require receipts before submitting if you want.
• Upgraded from 18? Rebuild former reports groups expenses back into the reports they belonged to.

Odoo Online can't install custom Python add-ons; Expense Report Sheets needs Odoo.sh or your own server.
