= Web Portal Billing Entities

Billing entities are used to connect an invoice address in Odoo to an organization in Servala.

When creating a new organization, the billing information is required to be added.

== Existing Billing Address

With the email address of the currently logged-in user, Odoo is searched for existing `res.partner` records and presented in the dropdown.

Search is done this way:

* `res.partner` records created by a matching Odoo user.
* User email matches an invoice address or contact address

== New Billing Address

When choosing to add a new billing address, two new records are created in the Odoo `res.partner` model:

* A record with the field `company_type = company`
* A record with the following field configuration:
** `company_type = person`
** `type = invoice`
** `parent_id = company_id`

The resulting database IDs are stored in the Servala portal database for referencing the records in Odoo.
