<div class="post-body"><p>I am starting a series on running real accounting on Odoo Community, because most guides assume Enterprise and then skip what is missing. Part one is the part nobody writes: turning it on.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>What turning it on takes</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You install the Accounting app, pick a chart of accounts for your country, set the taxes you actually charge, and check the journals it created for you. That takes an afternoon — and it is the only part that takes an afternoon.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Then install one more thing: <a href="https://github.com/OCA/account-financial-tools/tree/18.0/account_usability">account_usability from OCA's account-financial-tools</a>. Community hides a set of accounting menus and views that Enterprise shows — bank statements, cash registers, account tags and groups, the chart-of-accounts and tax templates, fiscal positions — and this module puts them back, including the "Show Full Accounting Features" group in the user form. It adds no accounting logic of its own; it exposes what is already in your database. Branches exist through 20.0.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Where this falls short</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>An installer's chart of accounts is a starting point, not your accountant's chart. If you already keep books, moving them means mapping accounts one by one, and that is a decision your accountant owns, not a checkbox. Localisation quality also varies by country — a maintained localisation is the difference between usable and decorative.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And more menus are not more accounting. account_usability gives you the screens; statutory reports for your country come from the localisation, and if that localisation is behind, no usability module will rescue the filing.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>What it changes</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For a small business: invoices, taxes and bank movements live in software you own, on the version you chose, with no per-user licence fee. The cost simply moves from licence to setup care.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Next in the series: the first invoice!</p></div>
