How does Odoo work?
The complete ERP system is based on the concept of apps. Each app maps an essential business process, e.g. CRM, sales, purchasing and warehouse. You only install the apps you need.
Modular structure
Its modular design allows you to select only the functions you need for your business. This makes Odoo a flexible and best ERP solution for SMEs looking for scalability. You don't need to install unnecessary apps. The apps on your smartphone are a good comparison.
Main Apps
It offers 40 main apps that cover the most common business processes. With these apps, processes in the company can be easily mapped in many cases. Due to the large number of main apps, this ERP system is attractive to many different industries.
Additional Modules
Not every company can adapt fully to the standard Odoo setup. That’s where the add-ons come in: Choose from several thousand modules to meet your specific requirements. If there is nothing ready-made for you, then thanks to the open source ERP software model, we can easily develop the missing functionalities together.
Integration
The various apps are fully integrated with each other. This means smoother ERP systems integration, so you can move from one process to another seamlessly. Example: After confirming an offer, you can create the invoice directly from the offer.
Odoo in Germany and the EU
Odoo ERP not only offers an innovative and license-free open-source solution, but also a comprehensive German localization. Thanks to the work of the Odoo Community Association (OCA) and many committed developers, the software is fully available in the German language. The German user interface offers intuitive and efficient operation, which is suitable for every employee.
GoBD Compliant
Compliance with the guidelines for proper accounting and data access is no problem with Odoo. As GoBD-compliant software, Odoo can grant the required Z1, Z2 and Z3 accesses as well as create Z receipts and X receipts in the PoS system during a tax audit.
DATEV-Export
Also important for German companies: the DATEV export. To round off the financial accounting and hand it over to the tax consultant, Odoo also offers the option of making a DATEV export. The exports are available in ASCII and XML formats.
TSE
If you use a PoS system, it is also mandatory in Germany for electronic PoS systems to have a technical security device (TSE). Odoo has a cloud-based TSE that guarantees the immutability and seamless recording of all transactions.
Accounting with Odoo
In the past, many businesses were hesitant because Odoo could not handle full accounting. Today, with both the Community and Enterprise versions, complete accounting in Odoo is possible — making it one of the best ERP solutions for SMEs in Europe.

Enterprise vs. Community
Odoo is not equal to Odoo. You can choose between two different editions: the license-free Community Edition and the licensed Enterprise Edition.
However, the license costs are not the only thing that distinguishes the two editions from each other.
In the Enterprise Edition, for example, there is an app for complete financial accounting, while in the Community Edition you have to combine different apps to get the same or even more extensive functionality.
You can find a complete comparison of the functions in our blog post.
How much does Odoo cost?
Enterprise
The Enterprise Edition includes license fees, though with single-app use Odoo can also be free. If you need full access, you can choose between self-hosting or cloud ERP provider options.
Community
The Odoo Community Edition is completely free, with no license fees. While you can download it directly from Odoo.com, due to the complexity of ERP systems, we always recommend professional advice from a qualified partner like us.
