Frequently Asked Questions
Can Odoo Accounting replace QuickBooks or Xero?
Yes. Odoo Accounting provides the same core features as QuickBooks and Xero, including bank feeds, automated reconciliation, and financial reporting, while adding native ERP integration with sales, inventory, and purchasing. Many businesses migrate to Odoo to eliminate data silos between their accounting and operational systems.
Does Odoo support multi-currency accounting?
Odoo supports unlimited currencies with automatic exchange-rate updates from the European Central Bank or custom rate providers. Unrealized gain/loss entries are generated automatically at period close, and consolidated reports display amounts in your base currency.
How does bank reconciliation work in Odoo?
You connect your bank account via a direct feed or import OFX/CSV statements. Odoo proposes matches between statement lines and open invoices or bills using AI pattern matching. You review the proposals and confirm them, with unmatched lines flagged for manual handling.
Is Odoo Accounting suitable for multiple legal entities?
Odoo supports multi-company setups in a single database with inter-company transaction rules. Each entity maintains its own chart of accounts and tax configuration, and consolidated group reports are generated automatically.
Can I migrate data from my existing accounting software?
Yes. Odoo provides import templates for chart of accounts, opening balances, customer and vendor records, and historical invoices. ECOSIRE offers migration services to ensure accuracy and a clean cutover from legacy systems.
