Preface

Learn Odoo provides a comprehensive walk-through of installing, configuring, and implementing Odoo in real-world business environments. This book will assist you in understanding the value of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and best-practice approaches for getting a system up and running in your organization. For those that are new to ERP systems, this book will serve as an introduction so that you will be better prepared to understand more advanced ERP concepts. If you are already experienced in ERP systems, this book will give you an overview of the primary applications for Odoo and how those applications can be used in a real business environment.

Odoo is a very feature-filled business application framework, with literally hundreds of applications and modules available. In fact, in recent years, Odoo has often not even been referred to as an ERP, because it is capable of solving such a variety of solutions. We have done our best in this book to cover the most essential features of the Odoo applications you are most likely to use in your business. Unfortunately, there are just not enough pages to cover more advanced topics. In the Appendix A, Locating Additional Odoo Resources, we have included additional resources that you can look to for more advanced subjects.

Once the book has been published, be sure to check for online updates in which we'll cover more advanced subjects.
