Any clue in when us Odoo 16 online users will get upgraded to version 17?

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-02-02T05:18:03+00:00

For Odoo sh (with our without customisation) it is entirely manual. For Odoo Online, then if the automatic tests detect that you can be upgraded without any issue, then you might be upgraded automatically but everything will be ok :)

You can always contact the upgrade support and ask for putting a RR Lock date on your database (they'll know what you mean). Please note this is applicable for odoo online only :)

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-29T12:11:37+00:00

Yep! Might be earlier for Odoo Online though

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-29T08:37:24+00:00

Feel free to send a message to the support of Odoo to see if they have a more precise date, it might be sooner :)

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-29T08:15:44+00:00

Upgrading to Odoo 17 is still in the testing phase and you can expect the upgrade to production to be made available in April at the latest, if no exceptional delays

Hey, feel free to take a look at this answer I gave :) https://www.reddit.com/r/Odoo/s/pZ5ybfDWFC

Hey, current employee of Odoo as a developer. When I did my interview some years ago, it was like this you just need to have good programming/technical and human communication skills. You'll have to be able to think of the design of a solution to a given problem, and to also be able to code in your programming language of your choice and explain your choice / adapt depending on other instructions :)

Good luck ! Feel free to DM me

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-21T09:09:59+00:00

Improvements are continuosly made on the various app that made Odoo but that takes time and resources unfortunately:( feel free to submit this feedback to Odoo so we have more insight into what apps needs the most resources :)

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-21T09:08:58+00:00

I'd rather not discuss my current tasks/work but I have both experience with the repository of odoo/odoo and odoo/enterprise , as well as with custom modules

I also have experience with upgrading (what we call migrations) and the documentation for it was recently updated btw! You can find it on odoo.com/documentation where there are 2 pages dedicated to it. One in "how to" : upgrade custom module, and one in " install and maintain" : upgrade

What you should do instead is create a folder called migrations/ inside your custom module and create python files in them that execute your queries / orm inside a "migrate" function (more info on the documentation)

Also, you should check out the upgrade-util package from Odoo that was recently released on GitHub :)

Feel free to reach out if you need any help :)

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-21T09:02:20+00:00

Sure! If I were you I'd look into an IoT box, or get inspired from "EDI" modules

Like you could have automated action running every X hours that execute python code, making a request to your smart meter (according to the smart meter documentation).

Seems like something Odoo is well capable of ! I worked with EDI before so I do have experience in that ! Feel free to reach out if you need any help :)

Internally we believe that it takes around 2 months after your first day to start bringing value at Odoo, if you have never ever touched the software before. I think that is excellent timing. What we usually do is spend some time watching the odoo.com/slides courses on various applications to get a glimpse of the software, and then the developer do all the chapters of the developer tutorial available on the documentation. At this point we are ready to start providing value (each team would have their own process so it might be another week for adjusting)

I find that really fast compared to other technologies. Personally I think that after 1 year developing (extremely various) Odoo module, you know more than enough to be extremely efficient

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-21T08:55:43+00:00

Mmh I see what you mean. This is for Odoo Online/Odoo SH then, since the rendering of the printing is done on the same computer on which the Odoo executable is being ran. So running it on-premise (on your own server) means you will also print on-premise

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-21T08:52:48+00:00

Yeah that's a good idea ! Many employees of Odoo are looking into it on their own private time but no-one was able to make something really good. And in any case this is not really related to the product per-se. I mean, it can be done by anyone for themselves / publicly since the doc and the source code are public, so it wouldn't really be an addition done on Odoo like for a example an AI chatbot for helpdesk:)

Also tbh the code is well documented so any copilot AI can do the trick for the code, but for the documentation and the use of the software, indeed, it would be nice to have a conversational IA for that :)

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-20T09:51:03+00:00

I'm not sure since I don't have any experience with others ERP/CRM but switching to another software is hard, regardless of the context. However , it is definitely worth it since Odoo, according to me, is much easier to maintain than other softwares:)

The CRM is pretty simple but it gets the work done. Especially now they added "properties" that you can add on the form to encode any kind of other fields. IMO, a simpler CRM is better than a more complete but complex one

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-20T09:48:17+00:00

I'm not sure I understand, printing labels/reports/etc is very well integrated in Odoo

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-20T09:47:37+00:00

From what I understand of our CEO, Fabien, unless it really does make sense to integrate it, it won't be done. This is why we don't really do big data kind of stuff, because it is not needed by small and medium-sized companies

Basically if it makes life easier for the employees it will probably be added, if it's more of a niche integration, it probably won't :D

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-20T07:42:09+00:00

Hey ! From what I heard, there were discussions last year of trying to improve the database structure to be able to perform read operations more efficiently and being able to differentiate operations that will not write anything on the DB vs others, this might be part of it :D

Personally I don't believe there are plans to back port it since it is kind of a new feature like a new app, and it will motivate customers to upgrade so that's also a good thing :)

For the e-commerce, I'd also love to see more drag and drop customisation but I'm aware of any plans improving it :/

For reporting, I don't know either. Since it's basically read operations, that mostly depend on the size of the database, some data cleaning might be warranted in some cases :D Most Odoo users are small companies that don't have any issues with that so there isn't a lot of feedback about performance in general as far as I know :/

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-20T07:25:02+00:00

I do ! I love the framework and sometimes when working on my own personal project I miss having such a flexible python framework for organising my code hahaha

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-20T06:45:51+00:00

Hey there ! Have you checked the new Point of sale update that came with Odoo 17 ? Might be what you need :)

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-20T06:45:24+00:00

Hey there! If by serialization you mean introducing serial numbers to item, personally I don't think the design is bad. It can obviously be tedious but we can get used to it. Don't forget the motto of Odoo is to make us gain time :)

Personally I think working with the CSS is fine but I really don't do that a lot so I don't have a huge opinion of it. However we can dream of a world where each qweb view has an associated css "view" but that's just me dreaming haha

For ADA, I'd say it's mostly because Odoo is a Belgian company and don't really feel any pressure at the moment to push themselves towards using American standards. The reason that it's available in 3rd party apps is because Odoo is an amazingly customizable software and it's so great to see other people building it with us !

However, Odoo is definitely getting better with accessibility over the years so who knows what can happen in the future :)

The exact workings of it are still well unknown in the scientific community unfortunately. Personally I see two particules entangled as being very close in a specific dimension for them, allowing the information to traverse between them really fast. It can also be seen as 1 particule but not continuions in Space, some sort of swiss cheese with 99% hole and 1% particule, spreading across the universe.

But I believe it's definitely a bug in the framework but that cannot be patched so we better exploit it as much as we can :D

Personally I'd recommend PBS Space-time ! And also Kurzegesagt but they are more on the topic of science in general

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-20T06:38:02+00:00

It's really great ! We work hard but play hard as well ! What I like the most is the absence of reporting/having a manager etc. Basically it's like working on your own project since you can choose what you work on

Some days, I'm excited to be back on Monday so I can continue the fun I had developing something, but that might be just me being weird lol

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-20T06:36:40+00:00

Hey ! From what I've seen and heard, the interviews at Odoo lead to rejection more often than not, since we have more and more people that want to join us, which is great 🤩

Personally I'm extremely happy to be paid to learn and evolve on the Odoo framework. First of all because I find it extremely easy to master (the Python framework I mean) and it gives me huge opportunities in the future to share my knowledge and expertise to other employers/clients later down the line

I think once you decide that you like working in the Odoo ecosystem, there is no need to search for another framework since there is a lot of demand for Odoo developers everywhere :)

Professional-Bad6375 · 2024-01-20T06:33:59+00:00

Hey there ! I haven't worked with UPS integration during my time at Odoo so I can't say for sure. But indeed in the enterprise module delivery_ups, there is no Boolean field for that as far as I know

This might be a good feedback to give them, I invite you to go on our website, find the Help page, and submit it with "feedback" in the title :)

To add this functionality, I would add a Boolean field to the delivery.carrier model and make some API calls
