Beginning with Odoo 9 and continuing through to Odoo 11, Odoo SA started offering a licensed version of Odoo known as the Odoo Enterprise edition. This edition offers several enhancements over the free Community edition of Odoo, including an entirely redesigned user interface. In addition to actual enhancements to the software itself, the Enterprise edition also includes version upgrades and bug fix guarantees that require Odoo SA to respond and attempt to fix any known bugs you may come across in core Odoo applications.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- The primary differences between Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise
- Improved accounting reports and external integration for the Enterprise edition
- Sales management enhancements for VoIP integration and subscriptions
- Enterprise shipping connectors
- Manufacturing applications: PLM, Maintenance, and Quality
The primary goal of this chapter is to help provide information that will help you decide which version of Odoo is right for you.
There are many features and options in Odoo Enterprise that we will not have the opportunity to cover within just one chapter in this book. It is recommended if you are considering Odoo that you look at your specific requirements and research how Odoo Enterprise may be of benefit.
