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.

Modules · ORM · XML · API · Recommended 3–4 weeks

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

  1. Create a new addon: the minimum interface (including API Key) that receives REST/JSON-RPC writing to sale.order.
  2. Field mapping document + 3 unit tests (create/duplicate/exceptional SKU).
  3. In Staging demo: External POST → Odoo Order → Stock Reservation.
  4. README: installation steps, configuration items, log location and warning suggestions.
