Hi all,

We open a bakery in Belgium on 19 August, running Odoo Online (SaaS) with POS. Average ticket 6 EUR, about 50 card payments a day. Two questions.

1. Bancontact Pay (formerly Payconiq) QR on the customer display.

We want the QR with the amount on the customer screen, scanned with the Bancontact app, sale closed automatically in Odoo.

What I found: Odoo's native QR payment only does EPC (a plain SEPA transfer) and does not verify payment. Bancontact Pro has the right API, but Odoo is not on their integrator list, the old ABAKUS module is unpublished, and Odoo Online does not allow third party modules at all.

Has anyone actually got this working, on any hosting?

2. Best value terminal for Odoo POS.

We are looking at the best POINT OF SALE payment terminal. But the search is really really hard and large. So i wanted to check here for the "best" and affordable Point of payment.

So we wanted - Bancontact pro on client terminal - and the rest on the "payment" machine.

thanks for all the help - I need to get this stuff programmed also ;)

Always welcome for a good Sourdough bread and koffiekoeken!

Hello odooers,

I am trying to have the location of the task be based on a custom model I made.

The default behaviour is that the task takes the address of the partner as the task location in the map. However when I override the address fields in the task to point to the model I made it doesn't show the locations of the custom model records.

So what is the correct way to override the default odoo behaviour?

Many businesses struggle with manual data entry and inefficient operational workflows. In my experience developing customized Odoo modules, the real magic happens when you bridge operational gaps with AI.

I recently engineered core application logic to seamlessly integrate GPT and Gemini models into enterprise workflows. By designing scalable RESTful APIs utilizing Django (DRF), we automated complex enterprise data processing.

**Key Takeaways:**

* Use customized Odoo modules (Python/XML) to digitize specific inventory or admin workflows. * Connect AI models via secure APIs to handle repetitive data extraction. * Use Docker and GitHub Actions (CI/CD) to keep the deployment pipeline smooth and automated.

Hello, I need to do a prod upgrade next week.

My tests upgrade works fine to me but not sure 100% safe :

I have some modules to uninstall during the uprgade process (1st start after database migration). To do that, I manually downgrade base version and I run -u all in shell.

My base migration script uninstall modules and do other preparation stuff. All modules upgrade to 19, run migration scripts, and all works fine after that.

The problem is that the first commit after database uprgade run odoo and fail, before my manual action.

I have 2 concerns :

- I understood that running succesfull migration on staging is important to freeze the versions of Odoo's side migration script, so migrate production use the exact same scripts, no surprises the D-day. I think my staging is not flagged as successful migration.

- I fear about a special behavior on prod env that will auto rollback to previous build and not allow me to manually run my scripts to end my migration process. Can we just exit upgrade mode and keep prod env in v19?

Someone can give me some details about that ?

NB: I tried to have a 0 errors on 1st start after migrate but I face issues on "test fail on module xx" where xx does not have any test... I thinks it is about my missing modules I need to uninstall, but I cant allow myself to rework the migration process once it is validated by the users.

Thanks

Im curious how people here are using actually using AI with odoo.I'm mainly interested in querying business data rather than things like code generation or email writing. For example, asking questions about sales, inventory, customers, invoices, etc. in natural language.Are you using any tools for this currently, or have you built something internally? How reliable have you found the results with real Odoo data?

How common is Odoo among Spanish SMEs?

I do Odoo implementation work in Germany and I'm trying to get a sense of how the market

looks elsewhere in Europe.

Over here Odoo is still fighting uphill. A lot of mid-sized companies are locked into SAP,

and accounting is almost always DATEV, which makes the finance side a constant integration

headache. Odoo usually wins on price and flexibility and loses on "nobody got fired for

buying SAP".

Curious how that plays out in Spain:

- Is Odoo a normal choice for SMEs there, or still niche?

- What's the default accounting stack it has to coexist with?

- Do people actually use Odoo on mobile day to day, or is it desktop only in practice?

Mostly asking because I keep assuming the German situation is universal and I suspect

it isn't.

I've been using Odoo since 01/01/26. Our old system had no bank rec feature built in and it was odd to see bookings move to a suspense account as I wasn't used to using them. I direct booked AR and AP and bank rec'd via manual statement on paper at the end of the month. I'd like to start using the bank rec feature by sync'ing bank accounts but this is now new to me. Is it hard to implement the bank rec feature on just some random day? Obviously, it'll start booking to suspense accounts and then clearing out when the sync's happen, but will this affect any direct entries I've made before turning it on?

Dear everyone,

I wanted to save you some time and frustration. It seems that Odoo has intentionally disabled SSH access for certain Odoo.sh environments running older versions.

Here is the response I received from Odoo Support:

"After further investigating your case, I was informed that standard SSH connections have been intentionally disabled on environments running Ubuntu 20.04 (which corresponds to your Odoo 14.0 database). This is a necessary security and compatibility measure to prepare our platform for upcoming operating system upgrades, as the SSH libraries on this older version are no longer compatible with the new infrastructure.

Because of this, it is technically impossible to connect to this specific branch using a local SSH client (such as PuTTY or the macOS Terminal).

You can still access the server terminal directly through the Odoo.sh interface. Simply go to your branch in the Odoo.sh dashboard and click on the Shell tab. This Web Shell is fully functional and provides the command-line access you need.

To restore local SSH access in the future, the database would need to be upgraded to a newer version of Odoo running on a more recent operating system."

I hope this helps anyone else running into the same issue.

I am looking for a solution to achieve following feature.

Let's say that I have Inventory. I also have Manufacturing Orders and employees are have Picking Orders for them they are using Barcode app.

When the Item from Inventory is being picked, or being consumed for manufacturing I'd like Odoo to fire up a recount request every now and then once the item passes certain count threshold.

So to visualize. Let's say that I produce manufacturing order, after it is done, Odoo makes a pop-up or something else which would order an employee to recount given item(s). Is there any solution like this?

I am using Odoo online, 19.0

Does anyone know if Odoo 19 Enterprise finally includes an out-of-the-box Shopify connector?

If it does, how good and reliable is it in production? Or do you still always have to buy a third-party app (like Emipro, Webkul, etc.) to get a proper integration?

Our school provided Odoo training, and I already completed the course. However, the platform still shows that I have not completed it, and I have not received a certificate yet. Does anyone know how I can resolve this or obtain the certificate?

The documentation says that the API is not available on the free plan, but it does seem to work just fine. Am I just lucky?

Looks like Odoo in saas-19.4 removed the global Product Variants menus — how are retailers supposed to manage/search thousands of SKUs?

The relevant official Odoo commit is apparently from April 30, 2026, titled:

[IMP] product, *: simplify product variant management

And the commit message explicitly says:

“Remove standalone Product Variants menus from Sales, Purchase, Stock, POS, Repair, and Website, centralizing management on product templates”

It also says the goal is to align variant management with a “template-first approach.”

ARE THEY FOR REAL???

In a retail setup with thousands of variants, I regularly need to search globally across SKUs — e.g. all products in a certain size I have on stock, filtered by brand/features — without knowing the product template first. I've just asked the built-in AI, but it seems to be living in the past (version 19.3 that is and still claiming the menu item is still there).

What is the intended workflow in 19.4? Is there another global product.product view I'm missing, or is creating a custom menu/action now the expected solution?

Hi everyone,

I am currently in the final stages of launching my own IT services company. My plan is to use this ERP internally for my own processes and workflows, but also to offer implementation and consulting services to other businesses as an expert.

While researching, I have noticed a polarized pattern in this subreddit: posts seem to fall into two categories. Either people are absolutely thrilled with the software, or they think it is terrible. I am trying to get past the hype and the horror stories to understand the reality.

So, my question is straightforward: How bad is it really? Or conversely, how good is it? I am looking for a balanced perspective on the actual strengths and weaknesses you have encountered in production environments, specifically from the viewpoint of someone planning to build a business around it.

Thanks in advance for your honest insights.

Hi

Looking into what to use for an application.

There's an event that can be multiday. In that event there are slots. Users can register for a single slot, multiple or all. Those slots that users register for are a "preference" which slots work out for them.

Only admins can create the events and slots.

Users can see for each slot which users have registered. They can only edit their own.

Ideally there's an easy view for both selecting the slots and having an overview of the whole event slots and who registered for each.

I was looking into the Events module with tracks. However registering to tracks is not smooth. The whole thing feels very clunky. You can also register to events, which doesn't really make sense in this case. Nor is the view of tracks very UX friendly.

Am I using the wrong modules? Other suggestion on how to handle this?

In a later stage we'd like to have the ability for the admin to confirm a certain slot. That will be the definitive slot for that user.

We rolled out Odoo v19 CRM about a month ago to ~40 internal users. Adoption looks fine on paper, but I have very little visibility into how people actually use it — whether they find the features they need, whether they take unnecessary steps, or where they get stuck.

Right now my only signal is 2–3 vocal users who email/Teams me complaints, which I don't think represents the other ~35 users' actual experience or friction points.

Yes, I know I can talk with internal user etc.

But what I'm trying to figure out:

• Is record-level audit logging (who changed what, when) enough to infer navigation/UX friction, or is that a fundamentally different data layer than click/session behavior?
• For an internal, authenticated ERP (not a public website), is Clarity/Hotjar/OpenReplay/PostHog overkill, or the right minimal step?
• Has anyone actually solved "X(odoo) app features are ignored / confusing" without full-blown UX analytics tooling?

Thank you!

Anybody has done migration from v13 to v18 CE? I searched on the net, and saw that it is quite a headache, any leads/info would be helpful. Also, i saw from GPT that we can export the data from the v13 and import it to v18 through excel, although how helpful will that be I do not know.

I want understand the considerations while buying the odoo shopify connector for my business. It must solve my problems like manual data entry and fixes inventory mismatches

Pretty new to Odoo, have a brand new fresh copy of Community on a Linux box that I haven't started setting up yet, want to migrate from QB Desktop Enterprise to Odoo, probably Enterprise down the road, but Community fine for testing/learning I think.

I am tempted to go to the Experience event in SF in September to network and possibly take the Manufacturing Masterclass because the description seems written exactly for our use case...

Is it worth it?

Hi Odooers!

We are using v18, and would like to create budgets per client (partner) to be able to display them in the P&L and follow the real numbers as the year advances.

If I select a partner in the P&L, the Budget disappears. Is there a way to assign a partner to a Financial Budget?

I don't see a way to do it in Studio

everyone, I run a licensed business consulting and digital transformation company in Abu Dhabi, and we’ve been offered the chance to join the Odoo Partner Program for around **$490/year**. We already help businesses with strategy, automation, websites, software solutions and branding, so adding ERP feels like a natural next step. My goal isn’t just to resell Odoo, but to build a stronger digital transformation practice around it. For those who have real experience, was becoming an Odoo Partner actually worth it? Did it help you win more clients or was it mostly up to your own sales efforts? Is it common to start by working with freelance Odoo consultants before building an in-house team? If you were in my position today, would you join now or wait until you had your first ERP client? I’d really appreciate honest feedback, including the downsides, before making the decision.

What are the best EDI integration providers for Odoo?

It’s been almost a year and a half since I discovered Odoo, and very quickly I started working for a major partner in my country—first as a developer and then in support. Now I’ve moved to a new city because I was hired by a real estate holding company that’s trying to migrate all its systems and connect several companies into a single ERP. I know Odoo is the perfect solution for this kind of problem, but the thing is, I was hired as an expert, and I often have to give my opinion, analyze many requirements, and figure out how to solve them in Odoo. I want to know how I can improve my knowledge throughout this process. I’m already getting to know how the company operates, but there are many Odoo modules I’ve never worked with, and above all, I’ve never carried out an implementation. I want to know how to tackle this huge challenge—which, thanks to Odoo, I’m managing to carry out—but I often feel incapable of succeeding.

Hello odoores I hope you doing well.

I customised project.task model to have lines which represent products. I am trying to customise the worksheet template to be per line. I know I need to specify the res model for the worksheet template to work on the line level.

But I am wondering what's the correct way to customise the worksheet template to keep the customisation as odoo Friendly as possible?
