I'm sorry, but I would not recommend to anyone keeping your books in Excel. Maybe everything isn't quite there, but Odoo CE v12's "Show Full Accounting Features" would be a better option.

Harold,

You may be interested to read a blog post a wrote for OCA that gives you my experience starting with Odoo:

https://odoo-community.org/blog/the-oca-blog-1/post/switching-to-odoo-one-company-s-journey-96

I think with CE v12 and some simple financial reports using MIS Builder, you can quickly get a basic company onto the platform including your accounting. As others have said (and I say in my post), you probably need to spend some money for some help to guide you along and save you time.

If you just start, keep it even simpler:
Odoo CE12 (or 13), use the invoicing of Odoo
the rest of your accounting --> use Excel for your cashbook

Hello everyone,
Thanks a lot for all your opinions and ideas I really appreciate, I will try to narrow down this and see if it's possible for me to get the best of all your ideas and propositions. So for someone that's starting something for nothing "ME" I'm looking to use Odoo CE in "the beginning" once my little project is able to pay the monthly rent of having all in Odoo EE cloud I'll say that I made it, but in the mid-time, I'm ready to struggle and learn. So this is what I get compile from you all, install V12 or above; this way the migration will not be so painful. Now, it's Ok if I do so using CE?, it's because for now my budget it 0 and I can't afford Odoo cloud, so I'm thinking CE V12+OCA modules and pay someone to do the accounting management, and do the future migration to EE, is this viable? please let me know what it's your perspective.
Regards,

Apart from a couple of reports that never really worked there really isn't any difference in accounting features over community versions.
On v8 you need oca, on v13 you need oca
And on v14, 15, 16....
But it is not a matter of OCA no-OCA or EE no-EE
You can always (and I recommend) use both for a serious solution...
Only one either put you in the uncomfortable situation of paying more for services (just OCA) or less features (just EE).
On my side, I think even SaaS for v >> 12.0 is really a proper solution for little- medium firms for their accounting solutions.

Hello,
I just want to confirm that Odoo CE + OCA modules can be much better than EE even on accounting.
Many time, OCA module surpass features provided by EE itself. Many features was in OCA long time before it end up in Odoo.
Problem is OCA is hidden gems, which is also a problem for new people (every new search end in EE landing page).
At least in our country, same problem, most people think about CE as a not workable ERP. From v11, many Odooer jump ship to FlectraHQ because of this. Few people heard about OCA, even fewer know what OCA is all about.
It is like, you are in the gang (being part of OCA), or you are not :).
Back to your questions, IMHO,
  • For quick fix, hire a competent consultant from OCA, feel free to ask here.
  • For long term, yourself become an OCA member. You will learn a lot from OCA (my own experience).
Good luck,
Kitti

Hello.
Try it yourself. Just the timesheet of 4 people here answering you can pay 3 monts of licences.
- GO to: odoo.com/trial
- Create a site.
- Add your problem is solved.
YES, you will have problems (who doesn't).
YES, you will receive solutions.
Instead argument/discuss with not-paid people your individual problems found or with your pear at the office, each time you have a doubt hire a proper consultant (that's the way this world works, you know **money*** :-)).
I promise you will expend less than what you will expend trying create Frankenstein with community, in other hand you will face a proper support to Odoo itself (the original creator) and to the community while you buy consultancy from them (the ones that will create + modules for you).
Our freedom is not a matter of money, is a matter of quality and access to the code :-)
About Accounting in odoo 13.0-12.0 (the one you will find as trial in the saas): It is really nice, but may be you will need a few weeks to end the stabilization (no big deal for your use case).
I hope it helps.

Hello everyone,
I consider myself Odoo fan, I know this software since version 6 named OpenERP, yes!! I'm old :D anyway I'm building up my own business "On-line Shop" and now is the time to implement Odoo. I have been playing with the 11 version but I know and I can see that the latest versions the company has been cutting off more and more modules, I looking to implement a fully operational Odoo using the CE version, I really don't care if it's not the latest version as far is working fine. Mu play is start and eventual in the future migrate to a better latest version. So I'm looking at some of your opinions regarding this, witch one you consider will be the best option for me to start. I can see that version 10 has most of the functionality just before things started to go south, one of the modules that I consider very important is the account module, after ver 10 the module is not there or limited.
I really appreciate all your comments and goods advises.
Regards,
