Preface

Installing the Accounting and Finance application


Odoo configures a basic accounting structure when you install base modules such as Sales and Purchasing. To access all of the accounting configuration options, you must install the Accounting and Finance module. If this application is not already installed in your configuration, go to settings and click on Apps to pull up the available applications. Find Accounting and Finance and click on Install to install the module:

After you have installed the Accounting and Finance module, your menu structure at the top of Odoo will change. Before installing the application, you probably had an Invoicing menu that contained the necessary options for the Sales and Purchasing applications. Once the Accounting and Finance module is installed, the Invoicing menu is replaced with an Accounting menu and is populated with several more options.
