Odoo: Expense


Odoo image and text block

Why we need to use it?

  • Odoo behavior: Odoo proposes a simple to configure but quite complex to use expense records, which is good for small company but does not fit medium and big companies needs.

  • Falinwa behaviour: Falinwa Standard modules define 2 level of users and 2 objectives:
  • - simplify the employee interface by asking only the strictly required information (total amount, product, quantity) easily editable.
  • - extend the option on the full expense form view for the HR and accountant in order to fullfill all the situation (multi taxes, multi currency)
  • - add more features on the products in order to be able to control expense budget, to manage refund based on cost price (km indemnity)

  • So the answer is Expense by Falinwa. We strongly recommend to launch all the HR expenses in Odoo. It's a good exercise for the end-user  to use Odoo and a good way to solve complex topics for the compant. On complex projects, a quickstart on HR modules like expenses before launching Sales - Purchase - Invoice is a good practice to move all the users in Odoo.
