OdooThinking
Open knowledge for Odoo functional experts & enthusiasts
Keep it standard, add value
Real value comes from mastering standard Odoo
What is OdooThinking
An open space where functional experts and enthusiasts share pure standard Odoo knowledge. We believe the highest value is created by staying close to standard with a deep know-how of Odoo modules, configurations and functions.
Keep it standard, add value
recommendations should follow this order:
- Standard features + configurations (functional knowledge)
- Additional installations (standard community or enterprise apps)
- Simple workarounds (filters, domains, defaults, …)
- Server actions/automations/studio* (only when "1-3" fails)
- * studio: only on Odoo enterprise implementations
- Pure data modules (extend & structure "4" into data modules)
Keep it standard, add value
Real value is delivered by deep Odoo standard know-how — not by custom code
master configurations
Most business needs can be solved with standard settings, domains, defaults and the full power of available modules.
share clean workarounds
Document reusable functional solutions so the whole community can add value without reinventing the wheel.
at last, pure data modules
When small extensions are truly required, use importable data modules instead of Python code. Keep the system maintainable and upgradable.
How the OdooThinking community adds value
1. Observe
Identify real functional needs
2. Chalenge with standard
configurations & Odoo modules
3. Share
documentation of clean solutions
4. Add value
raising the standard for all users
Keep it standard, add value
Share a clean configuration tip, a powerful workaround, a nice standard approach or a pure data module. The more we master standard Odoo, the more value we create together.
