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:

  1. Standard features + configurations (functional knowledge)
  2. Additional installations (standard community or enterprise apps)
  3. Simple workarounds (filters, domains, defaults, …)
  4. Server actions/automations/studio* (only when "1-3" fails)
  5. * studio: only on Odoo enterprise implementations
  6. 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.
