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.

Customize on top of standard modules: Understand module manifests, model inheritance, view and report extensions, and JSON-RPC / XML-RPC and OWL front-end basics.You can directly refer to the Odoo developer documentation for step-by-step implementation.

Code and warehouse
- One repo or monorepo subdirectory per client; branch strategy aligned with Odoo version tag.
- It is forbidden to change core addons; the extension module is named xxx_custom_function.
- Each PR: module version number, migration script, screenshots, or test instructions.
Integration and launch
- External APIs are queued and retried in a unified manner; the main data is sourced from external MDM or Odoo.
- Staging returns in full: upgrade scripts + automation of key UAT use cases.
- Deliverables: deployment instructions, dependent module list, rollback steps.
Hands-on Tasks (Acceptance Criteria)
Task: Deliver an "External Order Synchronization" extension module
- Create a new addon: the minimum interface (including API Key) that receives REST/JSON-RPC writing to sale.order.
- Field mapping document + 3 unit tests (create/duplicate/exceptional SKU).
- In Staging demo: External POST → Odoo Order → Stock Reservation.
- README: installation steps, configuration items, log location and warning suggestions.
