Odoo implementation points
For open source ERP, the deployment form (Odoo.sh/self-built/partner hosting) and module boundaries are determined first; multi-company/multi-currency projects freeze accounting accounts and warehouse rules before importing them in batches.Integration with third-party logistics/payments is recommended for master data and transaction APIs.MiCount can assist Odoo in selecting POC and upgrading runbooks.
