First up: Accounting & Finance
This Week’s Focus:
Seamless teamwork meets smarter service workflows with Odoo’s enhanced productivity stack
Accounting & Finance
Odoo v19 introduces powerful enhancements to the Accounting & Finance module, streamlining compliance, automation, and reporting for modern businesses.
Key improvements include fully certified tax compliance for multiple jurisdictions, including ATO-aligned payroll for Australia, automated bank reconciliation with AI-assisted suggestions, and seamless multi-currency support. Enhanced real-time financial dashboards, advanced analytic accounts, and consolidated reporting now enable clearer visibility across multiple entities. With improved invoice digitisation, batch processing, and OCR-powered document capture, finance teams can dramatically reduce manual effort and accelerate month-end closing with confidence and accuracy.
Mobile Bank Reconciliation
Reconcile transactions on the go with a mobile-optimised interface.
Reconcile from your phone with a simplified UI.
Imagine a manufacturing site manager reconciles supplier payments from a mobile device while overseeing a machinery install, keeping finance current without leaving the floor.
Real-Time Dashboards & Audit Logs
Gain visibility into revenue, spend, and compliance—live.
Stay compliant and transparent with drill-down views.
Imagine a CFO of a multi-site metalworks firm monitors Aged Receivables and sees an unexpected dip, prompting instant follow-up with the regional team.
Tax Timelines & Validation Checks
Visualise due dates and flag compliance issues in real time.
Never miss a return date with timeline views and in-app validations.
Imagine a manufacturing accountant receives a real-time alert about a missing GST code before lodging quarterly BAS, avoiding penalties.
Virtual & Physical Expense Cards
Empower employees with spending limits, digital and physical cards.
Control staff expenses with category-specific limits and usage visibility.
Imagine a floor supervisor uses a physical Odoo card at a local supplier while a procurement officer sets spending limits and approvals remotely.
HR & Payroll
Odoo v19 delivers substantial enhancements to its HR & Payroll modules, designed to simplify workforce management and ensure full regulatory compliance.
With native support for ATO Single Touch Payroll Phase 2, streamlined onboarding workflows, and enhanced leave and attendance tracking, businesses can now manage HR operations with greater accuracy and efficiency. The new intuitive employee self-service portal empowers staff to manage their own profiles, leave requests, and payslips, while payroll automation features, including batch processing, real-time tax calculations, and award interpretation, reduce administrative workload. These improvements make Odoo v19 a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for modern HR and payroll operations.
Contract Data Merge
Centralise employee data across contracts, payroll, and history.
Unify contract and employee views for full workforce visibility.
Imagine HR in a fabrication facility merges part-time contracts into a unified employee profile after a full-time promotion, preserving historical data.
Redesigned Time Off Module
View and manage leave requests more intuitively.
See availability, overlap, and public holidays at a glance.
Imagine a shift planner in a tool manufacturing company balances overlapping annual leave during a peak production week, using smart suggestions.
AU Payroll Localisation with Certified Calculations
Ensure Australian compliance with automated award, tax, and superannuation logic.
Stay compliant with local legislation and award conditions built in.
Imagine a manufacturing business with casual, full-time, and apprentice workers confidently runs compliant payroll across all categories with no spreadsheet workarounds.
