Now that we are fully recovered from Odoo Experience<\/strong><\/a>, I thought it will be good to tell all our readers & customers about the new features released by Odoo<\/a><\/strong> in their latest version of Odoo.<\/span><\/p>\n

The improvements are fantastic and the future is definitely bright for this fantastic ERP system. Odoo has now reached 3.7 million users around the world and promotes a quick start method to implement your ERP system which is way different from the implementation methodology of other software providers.<\/span><\/p>\n

I will talk about the quick start methodology in another post in the next few days but in the meantime here is the list of new features released as a part of v12:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Document Management System<\/b><\/h2>\n

The new document management system makes it easy for you to manage documentation and attach them to records. Not only that you get to assign tasks for missing documents, for example, a purchase invoice not shared by the purchase manager or an expense not recorded but already paid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, you can have actions on scanned documents. These actions can be anything like, create a purchase invoice from Documents or create a contract or send for signature.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"OCR Integration<\/span><\/h3>\n

Document management system also has OCR integrated so that you can read the text and create the line items for purchase invoices as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

This definitely gives a challenge to our <\/span>Google Drive Upload to Invoice <\/span><\/a>creation module.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inbuilt Document Viewer<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another good feature is the in-browser view of documents. We had to develop this while working with the Credit Union <\/span>Mortgage Application Management<\/span><\/a> system.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Upload Documents<\/span><\/h3>\n

You can upload documents to folders using emails (attachments are stored), file uploads are handled using drag and drop as well as standard browser upload.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tags <\/span><\/h3>\n

Documents have tags. You can tag a document and update the tags based on certain actions. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Internet of Things module (IOT)<\/span><\/h2>\n

The more information, the easier it is to make the right decision. The Internet of Things is turning into something of a nebulous concept, as more and more devices <\/span>enjoy the connected status<\/span><\/a> it\u2019s become more difficult to draw a line in the sand between what does and does not constitute as an IoT device. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Recently, we had to work on the integration of a weighbridge with Odoo. The integration used custom development running on a computer connected to the weighbridge. IOT Box is perfect for environments like those and you don\u2019t have the pain of connecting a computer to the weighbridge.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once connected, you can search the network for IoT devices (See screenshot below).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Multi-Website support<\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the most sought-after requirements from Odoo e-commerce was Multi Website Support. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The new feature allows to set up multiple websites on a single database. It\u2019s hugely useful for online stores who are selling under different brand names or under different domain names. Complex integrations and third-party modules\u2026 Bye Bye!!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can also choose a different theme for each website. Additionally, Odoo now also features a colorful dashboard, as well as helping you capture more user metadata for marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Accounting Module<\/span><\/h2>\n

Some of the considerable changes can be seen in the accounting module where you can see more quick information in the progress bar with a better interface and better colors you can also create a bank account instantly with the progress bar. Here is a quick view of the progress bar:<\/span><\/p>\n

Other new features in the accounting module include:<\/span><\/p>\n
