Odoo 16 is finally released! And as usual, the upgrade is worth the wait, what a version!
Blazing Fast Performance
Odoo 15 was already fast. But guess what? The performance of Odoo 16 has been improved across the whole tech stack.
To give you a few examples, it means that, on average:
- Opening an invoice from the backend is 3.7 times faster.
- There are 2.4 times fewer SQL queries per URL on average.
- eCommerce pages load 3.9 times faster.
New dashboards - when dashboards meet spreadsheets
All dashboards have been converted into Spreadsheet-based reports. You can now use them for edition or advanced computations!
That’s why Odoo focused a lot on improving Spreadsheet. To name a few of the most important changes, you can now see records on List function, convert XLSX files to the Odoo Spreadsheet format, or use a new set of functions to get accounting measures.
New Knowledge management app
Have you ever wondered how to manage your company knowledge? How to create an internal document that can be read and edited by your team? Is it possible to create a copy of an article or duplicate its whole hierarchy? Is it possible to do all of that without using several external solutions or labyrinthic folder structures? Well, the answer is yes to all of them!
Odoo 16 comes with a new intuitive app named Knowledge. This app allows you to create or duplicate articles and their hierarchy to share your company knowledge and even make it customizable by everyone internally.
How can it be customized? Thanks to many features, including a cover picker, nested articles, or embedded views (for info from other Odoo apps, for example). Then, it allows inserting tables of contents, indexes, and outlines in articles to showcase nested content.
Oh, and because the Odoo Knowledge app is breathtaking, it gives a grace period to your deleted articles before permanently deleting them.
Improved Accounting
Odoo Accounting already benefited greatly from its recent refactoring, becoming one of the best real-time accounting apps. Still, Odoo went the extra mile this year to make most processes as painless as possible.
Odoo started by improving the navigation throughout the app.
The new bank reconciliation widget vastly improves the user experience. Everything is clearer and cleaner, making the process even faster.
With the Accounting Firms mode, encoding invoices has never been faster: set the contact and total amount, and that’s it!
The reporting section has been redone entirely from scratch; you will never have to worry about finding the necessary information anymore.
Can’t get enough accounting analytics? Odoo added a new analytic widget on invoices to ease analytic distribution, analytic plans, and analytic distribution models.
You can now break financial reports down and analyze them according to analytic accounts and plans.
And that’s just the beginning. To name a few of the new features: credit limit warnings, recurring invoices, early payment discounts, etc.
