  • Re: How and in what typical environments is Community Odoo begin used
    Hi Kitti

    We met in HK event long time back, not sure if you remember :)

    Yes I remember :-)

    To us, we are not opposing EE, we also try to propose it when possible. But so far, only small companies that can adapt to EE can use it. For big organizations, or more complicated requirements, it is required to use CE + OCA addons.

    Very interesting that you say  EE is only for smaller companies? We find that the EE finance module is a must-have for most organisations unless we interface to XERO etc (small organisations). Some companies actually just feel "safer" going with EE because of the perceived Odoo corporate backing which is especially important when coming up against Netsuite, Navision, SAP B1 etc. CE finance additions are great but the EE versions are an easier sell (my experience anyway). Of course, mis_builder is always in my sales kitbag.

    For custom vertical work not requiring full accounting, I agree that CE is a great choice and we have used it for that purpose.

    But beside that, it is just enjoyable to work with OCA people.

    Absolutely agree.
     
    Would be nice if functional expert like yourself is around too!

    I'd love to contribute more but time gets the better of me generally - family, house-painting, lawns, oh and working also. (the community is so knowledgeable I fell slightly intimidated sort-of)

    Thank you for your comments.

    Hi Jonathan, all,

    Funny enough I had a discussion a few months back with an Odoo integrator working with Odoo enterprise only, and he was arguing this is where the revenue was (and did not understand why we would not become an Odoo partner).

    At Le Filament we have the opposite approach, working exclusively with Open Source softwares, so only with Odoo Community version, and we still have decent revenue :)

    Our strategy is somehow different though, since we are not selling Odoo software but rather an adapted solution for our customers (based on Odoo but most of our customers are not coming to us looking for Odoo).

    We spend time at the beginning of projects involving all future users, to determine how they expect the tool that will accompany them to work, then we install Odoo and make the necessary integration / configuration / development to fit their needs.

     

    So far we have installed Odoo Community for 30+ customers (from 2 to 200 users) and seldomly we have to send them to an Odoo Enterprise integrator (it happened though when they were already convinced that Odoo Enterprise was what they needed).

    Regarding Accounting functionalities, most of our customers do not use it extensively in Odoo but work with an Accounting partner or internal service (with their own specialized accounting tool) which are fed with exports from Odoo journals (mainly Sales, Purchase, Expense and POS), so I could not answer whether full accounting can be properly done in Community version, although I do not see any show stoppers.

    Hi All
     
    I love watching all the email go back and forth in this forum and only pretend to know what you are all talking about but coming from a solid commercial programming background myself (no python :-) I understand in general terms but don't feel qualified to comment except maybe from a functional perspective at times.
     
    At WilldooIT we are fairly firmly placed in the Odoo enterprise world as the commercial reality is that is where the revenue is. However, I do realise that the community version is very functional in its own right especially in the basic ERP functionalities and front-end capabilities. In this forum, I get the impression that there are some serious implementations of the Odoo community version and was wondering if you could give me some examples or typical use-cases? And if the lask of the enterprise accounting features is the main reason customers move to Odoo enterprise, and if the OCA financial reporting modules sufficient for larger companies.
     
    I must admit to feeling a bit guilty writing this as I once promised Maxime Chambreuil to approach Australian universities and Tech schools to get Odoo introduced as a learning tool for both the IT and Finance streams. I think it is a great idea and I have made a couple of attempts but time seemed to get the better of me - apologies Maxime, I will keep trying.

  • Re: Yet another followup module ?
    Hi Alexis,

    Nice module, and great explanatory video.

    It's true the current credit_control module is complex yet useful for high volume applications as you noted.

    IMO, there is room for having both in OCA, provided the README of the repo explains why both modules exist.
    So I think it would be a welcome addition to OCA/credit-control.

    Best regards,

    Dear OCA friends,

    I published yesterday a new module called Overdue Invoice Reminder (technical name : account_invoice_overdue_reminder) :


    It is an alternative to the OCA module account_credit_control available on https://github.com/OCA/credit-control (was in OCA/account-financial-tools for v10 and under)

    If you want to have a demo of my new module, please look at my screencast :

    Why did I decide to develop "yet another module" for followup ? Because I deployed the account_credit_control module for several companies (in v10), and the experience was not very positive, and they all stopped using it shortly after the deployment. My feeling about this OCA module is that it is like an army tank designed to send millions of followup letters ; the usability is not so good and it's not possible to customize the email/letters. Also, this module is very big (1900 line of python code) and difficult to modify because it is quite complex. That's why I decided to start the development of a new module from scratch. My main goals were:
    - give full control on the overdue email/letters to the user,
    - usability and easy the understand,
    - simplicity (700 lines of Python code, easy to read and understand),
    - reminders by email by default, with the possibility to also send letters and make phone calls.

    Please look at the README of the module for more info about the module (and its limitations) :

    I haven't submitted this module to OCA because of the rule "1 module per feature". But, if you think that this module should be in OCA, I'm ready to submit it. Anyway, your feedback on this module is welcomed. But don't forget that I want to KEEP THIS MODULE SIMPLE, so I may refuse features that add too much complexity.

    P.S. : I plan to backport this module to v10 after the first feedbacks.

  • Re: stock-logistics-barcode OCA module application

    Check server logs and/or the browser dev tools for errors, without that it is hard to say what's the issue.

    The config is not cached but you should restart the server so that it is applied.

  • stock-logistics-barcode OCA module application
    Hello there,

    I try to install the OCA module stock-logistics-barcode[1] for version 11, I have git clone the repository and place it into extra-addons folder, I went back to my Odoo and using the debug action I refresh my application list, but I'm not able to see listed this module. Searching and asking a bit I have tried restarting the server and checking the __manufest__.py installable: True status[2]. I have other modules that are placed in that same path folder (extra-addons) and they are working fine, showing and updating correctly, but for some reason, I'm not able to have this one working, definitely, I'm doing or missing something but as a good NEWBIE that I'm I don't what it is.

    Thanks for your help

    Regards,

  • Re: How and in what typical environments is Community Odoo begin used
    Hi Jonathan, hope you do well,

    We met in HK event long time back, not sure if you remember :)

    To us, we are not opposing EE, we also try to propose it when possible. But so far, only small companies that can adapt to EE can use it. For big organizations, or more complicated requirements, it is required to use CE + OCA addons.

    But beside that, it is just enjoyable to work with OCA people. Would be nice if functional expert like yourself is around too!

    Note: Not sure exactly what is your question, but I believe you are welcome to discuss here.

    Kind regards,
    Kitti U.

    Hi Jonathan, all,

    Funny enough I had a discussion a few months back with an Odoo integrator working with Odoo enterprise only, and he was arguing this is where the revenue was (and did not understand why we would not become an Odoo partner).

    At Le Filament we have the opposite approach, working exclusively with Open Source softwares, so only with Odoo Community version, and we still have decent revenue :)

    Our strategy is somehow different though, since we are not selling Odoo software but rather an adapted solution for our customers (based on Odoo but most of our customers are not coming to us looking for Odoo).

    We spend time at the beginning of projects involving all future users, to determine how they expect the tool that will accompany them to work, then we install Odoo and make the necessary integration / configuration / development to fit their needs.

     

    So far we have installed Odoo Community for 30+ customers (from 2 to 200 users) and seldomly we have to send them to an Odoo Enterprise integrator (it happened though when they were already convinced that Odoo Enterprise was what they needed).

    Regarding Accounting functionalities, most of our customers do not use it extensively in Odoo but work with an Accounting partner or internal service (with their own specialized accounting tool) which are fed with exports from Odoo journals (mainly Sales, Purchase, Expense and POS), so I could not answer whether full accounting can be properly done in Community version, although I do not see any show stoppers.

    Hi All
     
    I love watching all the email go back and forth in this forum and only pretend to know what you are all talking about but coming from a solid commercial programming background myself (no python :-) I understand in general terms but don't feel qualified to comment except maybe from a functional perspective at times.
     
    At WilldooIT we are fairly firmly placed in the Odoo enterprise world as the commercial reality is that is where the revenue is. However, I do realise that the community version is very functional in its own right especially in the basic ERP functionalities and front-end capabilities. In this forum, I get the impression that there are some serious implementations of the Odoo community version and was wondering if you could give me some examples or typical use-cases? And if the lask of the enterprise accounting features is the main reason customers move to Odoo enterprise, and if the OCA financial reporting modules sufficient for larger companies.
     
    I must admit to feeling a bit guilty writing this as I once promised Maxime Chambreuil to approach Australian universities and Tech schools to get Odoo introduced as a learning tool for both the IT and Finance streams. I think it is a great idea and I have made a couple of attempts but time seemed to get the better of me - apologies Maxime, I will keep trying.

  • Re: Yet another followup module ?
    Me too; I shared the difficult of using OCA module.

    Il 22/04/20 12:37, luc.demeyer@noviat.com ha scritto:

    I share the experience of Alexis on the complexity of the credit_control module hence I think there is a place for an easier to use alternative.

     

    From: Alexis de Lattre <alexis.delattre@akretion.com>
    Sent: Wednesday, 22 April 2020 12:22
    To: Contributors <contributors@odoo-community.org>
    Subject: Yet another followup module ?

     

    Dear OCA friends,

     

    I published yesterday a new module called Overdue Invoice Reminder (technical name : account_invoice_overdue_reminder) :

     

     

    It is an alternative to the OCA module account_credit_control available on https://github.com/OCA/credit-control (was in OCA/account-financial-tools for v10 and under)

     

    If you want to have a demo of my new module, please look at my screencast :

     

    Why did I decide to develop "yet another module" for followup ? Because I deployed the account_credit_control module for several companies (in v10), and the experience was not very positive, and they all stopped using it shortly after the deployment. My feeling about this OCA module is that it is like an army tank designed to send millions of followup letters ; the usability is not so good and it's not possible to customize the email/letters. Also, this module is very big (1900 line of python code) and difficult to modify because it is quite complex. That's why I decided to start the development of a new module from scratch. My main goals were:

    - give full control on the overdue email/letters to the user,

    - usability and easy the understand,

    - simplicity (700 lines of Python code, easy to read and understand),

    - reminders by email by default, with the possibility to also send letters and make phone calls.

     

    Please look at the README of the module for more info about the module (and its limitations) :

     

    I haven't submitted this module to OCA because of the rule "1 module per feature". But, if you think that this module should be in OCA, I'm ready to submit it. Anyway, your feedback on this module is welcomed. But don't forget that I want to KEEP THIS MODULE SIMPLE, so I may refuse features that add too much complexity.

     

    P.S. : I plan to backport this module to v10 after the first feedbacks.

    Hi Lorenzo,

    I'll look into installing mail_outbound_static on odoo-community.org.

    Also, odoo-community.org should use mail_outbound_static.
    Below an example of email to "contributors@odoo-community.org" marked as SPAM because of failing DMARC.

    Can someone install it? Then you just need to set the fixed "from" address in the ir.mail_server, like "mailing@odoo-community.org"

    Thanks!

    Odoo is not DMARC compliant. You can check the issues reported by Oleg for some history:

    In order to avoid messages sent by odoo to be marked as SPAM because of DMARC, you can use mail_outbound_static

    By the way, we use Mailgun too.

    Hello Community!

    Thanks again for the feedback.
    We put in place SPF, DKIM and DMARC policies.
    We need not to work them out so the emails sent from odoo are greenlit.

    I am falling deep into the DMARC reports :)

    Hello, Jordi,

    1. First of all you need to tell us how you setted up your Odoo to work via Gmail? And also what is version of Odoo you are using ?

    2. Also are you using standard Odoo capabilities of sending emails or you customized smth? Reason, standard Odoo works like this.
    - Imagine I have sent email to your email sales@yourdomain.com from my email address oleg@mydomain.com
    - A new opportunity is created that will send emails to all followers of sales team sales@yourdomain.com is mail alias to.
    Important! Odoo Standard will send email to followers FROM oleg@mydomain.com

    So actually it will be sending email from domain it is actually not controlling.

    Few things about it:
    - Generally speaking we do not know(nobody knows) if google likes when you do that way. My personal opinion is by doing that too often , you Gmail domain will loose ratings.
    - second thing - if on my email domain  oleg@mydomain.com DMARC is properly configured, than google will not send it. Because that is SPAM! Obviously it is spam when you try to pretend sending from not your domain 

    Just read this for more details. This is ongoing discussions in many other Odoo issues on GitHub (just quick Google) 

    Usually Olivier Dony is participant of this discussions as he is expert in this. You can find a lot of issues like this from Odoo side.

    So another important recommendation. Do not mix different type of emails in one provider.

    There are 3 types of mails you usually send:
    1) Personal - use Google apps for sending personal emails. Because that way you make sure this mails are isolated from other type of mails and your mailbox will not be marked as spammy because you sent content from Odoo through relay and some systems report it as non reliable and spammy(for different reasons). So sending your emails from Odoo through Gmail you have a risk that even your personal emails will become untrusted and will get into spam.

    2) Transactional mails - this is mails from Odoo, other automatic messages (like registration confirmation ). Use for this separate specialised transactional mail provider . Like mailgun. Simply for reason in point 1. "Do not place eggs in one basket"

    3) Mass mailing - never do it through Odoo that sends it through Gmail. Despite of the fact Odoo has mass mailing feature  you will compromise your domain very easily with mass mailing if use Gmail.  If you still want to use Odoo mass mailing, configure separate outgoing mail server for this (for example through mailgun or other transactional provider) 
    Or better, Use specialised massailing providers like Mailchimp for this. Because after reputation of your domain is lost it is very hard to restore it. So you will be getting into Spam even from your personal mails.

    Few things:
    1) If you do not have full time sys admin, do not setup your own mail server. It is very hard to maintain mail infrastructure as new mail server need to get good reputation before other mail providers will trust it. And that is long process. And with sending mails from Odoo through your vanilla installed postfix you will not get good reputation easily. Most likely you will get anti-reputation :)
    2) check your domain is not blacklisted 
    Reason , most mail providers when receiving mail automatically check for blacklists. And if it is blacklisted, it can be marked as spam.
    3) make sure DKIM is setted up properly on your domain 
    4) Make sure that SPF is defined for all your mailproviders you are going to use (Gmail, Mailgun, MailChimp and etc.). Every such mail provider has dedicated page how to configure this.
    5) DMARC yes, configure it also for stronger validation. Note that Odoo work bad with DMARC configured emails. There were few attempts like below from Community to fix behavior of Odoo , but it was always non accepted https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/20911

    Hope that all helps !

    A few keypoints:
    • Try having DKIM,SPF and DMARC
    • Make your signature on Odoo a text instead of an image (just in case your Odoo signature is different)
    • Use GMAIL relay server smtp-relay.gmail.com; just in case you're hitting your quota (not related to SPAM tough)
    • Amazon Simple Email Service is great for mass mailing https://aws.amazon.com/ses/

    Hi Jordi, 
    
    the relative amount of mails going through Odoo is probably less
    relevant than the absolut amount. Generally spoken i'd always suggest
    to invest time in setting up an own mail Server instead of relaying
    through GMail and if you really need to sent masses of uniform E-mail
    probably going through an load balanced and properly scaling service
    like mailchimp or mailgun would be devisable yes. I don't honestly know
    but E-Mails going through Odoo will be easily identifiable by almost
    every AI and that is probably the reason (in relation with the content
    of the mails) being identified as SPAM

    Odoo CE + OCA can perfectly serve for whole accounting and with powerful localizations like Spanish one (OCA/l10n-spain), it's even better than enterprise.

    This is true also for Italy

  • Re: smtp server service
    Also, odoo-community.org should use mail_outbound_static.
    Below an example of email to "contributors@odoo-community.org" marked as SPAM because of failing DMARC.

    Can someone install it? Then you just need to set the fixed "from" address in the ir.mail_server, like "mailing@odoo-community.org"

    Thanks!

    Odoo is not DMARC compliant. You can check the issues reported by Oleg for some history:

    In order to avoid messages sent by odoo to be marked as SPAM because of DMARC, you can use mail_outbound_static

    By the way, we use Mailgun too.

    Hello Community!

    Thanks again for the feedback.
    We put in place SPF, DKIM and DMARC policies.
    We need not to work them out so the emails sent from odoo are greenlit.

    I am falling deep into the DMARC reports :)

    Hello, Jordi,

    1. First of all you need to tell us how you setted up your Odoo to work via Gmail? And also what is version of Odoo you are using ?

    2. Also are you using standard Odoo capabilities of sending emails or you customized smth? Reason, standard Odoo works like this.
    - Imagine I have sent email to your email sales@yourdomain.com from my email address oleg@mydomain.com
    - A new opportunity is created that will send emails to all followers of sales team sales@yourdomain.com is mail alias to.
    Important! Odoo Standard will send email to followers FROM oleg@mydomain.com

    So actually it will be sending email from domain it is actually not controlling.

    Few things about it:
    - Generally speaking we do not know(nobody knows) if google likes when you do that way. My personal opinion is by doing that too often , you Gmail domain will loose ratings.
    - second thing - if on my email domain  oleg@mydomain.com DMARC is properly configured, than google will not send it. Because that is SPAM! Obviously it is spam when you try to pretend sending from not your domain 

    Just read this for more details. This is ongoing discussions in many other Odoo issues on GitHub (just quick Google) 

    Usually Olivier Dony is participant of this discussions as he is expert in this. You can find a lot of issues like this from Odoo side.

    So another important recommendation. Do not mix different type of emails in one provider.

    There are 3 types of mails you usually send:
    1) Personal - use Google apps for sending personal emails. Because that way you make sure this mails are isolated from other type of mails and your mailbox will not be marked as spammy because you sent content from Odoo through relay and some systems report it as non reliable and spammy(for different reasons). So sending your emails from Odoo through Gmail you have a risk that even your personal emails will become untrusted and will get into spam.

    2) Transactional mails - this is mails from Odoo, other automatic messages (like registration confirmation ). Use for this separate specialised transactional mail provider . Like mailgun. Simply for reason in point 1. "Do not place eggs in one basket"

    3) Mass mailing - never do it through Odoo that sends it through Gmail. Despite of the fact Odoo has mass mailing feature  you will compromise your domain very easily with mass mailing if use Gmail.  If you still want to use Odoo mass mailing, configure separate outgoing mail server for this (for example through mailgun or other transactional provider) 
    Or better, Use specialised massailing providers like Mailchimp for this. Because after reputation of your domain is lost it is very hard to restore it. So you will be getting into Spam even from your personal mails.

    Few things:
    1) If you do not have full time sys admin, do not setup your own mail server. It is very hard to maintain mail infrastructure as new mail server need to get good reputation before other mail providers will trust it. And that is long process. And with sending mails from Odoo through your vanilla installed postfix you will not get good reputation easily. Most likely you will get anti-reputation :)
    2) check your domain is not blacklisted 
    Reason , most mail providers when receiving mail automatically check for blacklists. And if it is blacklisted, it can be marked as spam.
    3) make sure DKIM is setted up properly on your domain 
    4) Make sure that SPF is defined for all your mailproviders you are going to use (Gmail, Mailgun, MailChimp and etc.). Every such mail provider has dedicated page how to configure this.
    5) DMARC yes, configure it also for stronger validation. Note that Odoo work bad with DMARC configured emails. There were few attempts like below from Community to fix behavior of Odoo , but it was always non accepted https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/20911

    Hope that all helps !

    Funny enough I had a discussion a few months back with an Odoo integrator working with Odoo enterprise only, and he was arguing this is where the revenue was (and did not understand why we would not become an Odoo partner).

    At Le Filament we have the opposite approach, working exclusively with Open Source softwares, so only with Odoo Community version, and we still have decent revenue :)

    Our strategy is somehow different though, since we are not selling Odoo software but rather an adapted solution for our customers (based on Odoo but most of our customers are not coming to us looking for Odoo).

    We spend time at the beginning of projects involving all future users, to determine how they expect the tool that will accompany them to work, then we install Odoo and make the necessary integration / configuration / development to fit their needs.

     

    So far we have installed Odoo Community for 30+ customers (from 2 to 200 users) and seldomly we have to send them to an Odoo Enterprise integrator (it happened though when they were already convinced that Odoo Enterprise was what they needed).

    Regarding Accounting functionalities, most of our customers do not use it extensively in Odoo but work with an Accounting partner or internal service (with their own specialized accounting tool) which are fed with exports from Odoo journals (mainly Sales, Purchase, Expense and POS), so I could not answer whether full accounting can be properly done in Community version, although I do not see any show stoppers.

    Best Regards,

    Hi All
     
    I love watching all the email go back and forth in this forum and only pretend to know what you are all talking about but coming from a solid commercial programming background myself (no python :-) I understand in general terms but don't feel qualified to comment except maybe from a functional perspective at times.
     
    At WilldooIT we are fairly firmly placed in the Odoo enterprise world as the commercial reality is that is where the revenue is. However, I do realise that the community version is very functional in its own right especially in the basic ERP functionalities and front-end capabilities. In this forum, I get the impression that there are some serious implementations of the Odoo community version and was wondering if you could give me some examples or typical use-cases? And if the lask of the enterprise accounting features is the main reason customers move to Odoo enterprise, and if the OCA financial reporting modules sufficient for larger companies.
     
    I must admit to feeling a bit guilty writing this as I once promised Maxime Chambreuil to approach Australian universities and Tech schools to get Odoo introduced as a learning tool for both the IT and Finance streams. I think it is a great idea and I have made a couple of attempts but time seemed to get the better of me - apologies Maxime, I will keep trying.

  • Crowdfunding? Again
    Dear community,
    
    There was a question about crowdfunding specific fixes or migrations year or so ago. At that time it did not find any support, if I recall correctly, yet I’d like to resurface it and start a discussion about OCA setting up any suitable platform of fund-an-issue using GitHub.
    
    Kind regards,
    Alexey

    Dear OCA friends,

    I published yesterday a new module called Overdue Invoice Reminder (technical name : account_invoice_overdue_reminder) :


    It is an alternative to the OCA module account_credit_control available on https://github.com/OCA/credit-control (was in OCA/account-financial-tools for v10 and under)

    If you want to have a demo of my new module, please look at my screencast :

    Why did I decide to develop "yet another module" for followup ? Because I deployed the account_credit_control module for several companies (in v10), and the experience was not very positive, and they all stopped using it shortly after the deployment. My feeling about this OCA module is that it is like an army tank designed to send millions of followup letters ; the usability is not so good and it's not possible to customize the email/letters. Also, this module is very big (1900 line of python code) and difficult to modify because it is quite complex. That's why I decided to start the development of a new module from scratch. My main goals were:
    - give full control on the overdue email/letters to the user,
    - usability and easy the understand,
    - simplicity (700 lines of Python code, easy to read and understand),
    - reminders by email by default, with the possibility to also send letters and make phone calls.

    Please look at the README of the module for more info about the module (and its limitations) :

    I haven't submitted this module to OCA because of the rule "1 module per feature". But, if you think that this module should be in OCA, I'm ready to submit it. Anyway, your feedback on this module is welcomed. But don't forget that I want to KEEP THIS MODULE SIMPLE, so I may refuse features that add too much complexity.

    P.S. : I plan to backport this module to v10 after the first feedbacks.

    I share the experience of Alexis on the complexity of the credit_control module hence I think there is a place for an easier to use alternative.

    Odoo CE + OCA can perfectly serve for whole accounting and with powerful localizations like Spanish one (OCA/l10n-spain), it's even better than enterprise.
