Odoo 19 Release Date
Odoo 19 release date is expected to be released in September 2025, during the annual Odoo Experience event (September 18–20, 2025). Odoo typically releases major versions in Q3 each year.
Odoo 19 Roadmap
Odoo 19 Roadmap is structured around three strategic pillars:
Odoo 19 Features
Odoo 19 features continues the company’s strategic push toward AI-powered business apps, advanced automation, and seamless user experience.
1. Odoo Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI Server Actions: Automate tasks using prompt-based workflows without code (e.g., “Mark invoices over $1,000 as flagged”).
You can automate field updates or content generation by describing what you want the system to do in natural human language – powered by large language models like ChatGPT or Claude.
This eliminates the need for complex coding, allowing business users to set up intelligent automations such as flagging high-value invoices or updating sales stages.
AI Fields in Studio: Dynamically generate descriptions, summaries, and other text fields based on related records.
With Odoo Studio, users can create AI-powered fields that generate content dynamically. For example, an AI field in a helpdesk module can summarize a ticket description based on past conversations.
AI Agents: These virtual assistants are embedded across the platform, including in Chatter and email editors. They can suggest actions, summarize conversations, and streamline communication (e.g., replying to emails, flagging key items in chatter, and generating responses). The agents evolve based on user interaction and context.
Smart Lead Assignment: The CRM can now analyze past data to determine which salesperson is most likely to close a deal and automatically assign the lead accordingly.
This improves conversion rates and team efficiency.
AI-Powered BI: Predictive dashboards, data summarization, and smart recommendations across CRM and Accounting.
Business Intelligence dashboards gain predictive capabilities, helping managers anticipate sales trends, churn risk, or cash flow bottlenecks.
Semantic Search: Odoo’s new AI-powered search understands intent and context, offering more accurate results across documents, chats, and modules. Whether you’re looking for a project, a customer message, or an invoice, the system understands your intent and brings the most relevant result.
2. Website & E-Commerce
OWL Migration: Odoo’s frontend is now based on the OWL framework, which provides faster rendering, less lag, and smoother transitions between pages. Developers also benefit from a modern code structure.
Automated SEO Checks: The website builder now flags SEO issues as you edit. It checks for missing meta tags, duplicate content, low word count, and accessibility compliance.
Dynamic Snippets: These prebuilt content blocks automatically adapt to context—for instance, showing featured products based on user browsing behavior.
Google Merchant Center & TikTok Integration: Businesses can sync product catalogs with these platforms to launch shoppable posts and paid ads without leaving Odoo.
Checkout Redesign: The new checkout flow supports better cart conversion through features like express checkout, personalized messages, and promo ribbon tags.
Mobile Responsiveness: Enhanced layouts, breadcrumbs, and floating toolbars. Every page auto-adjusts for different devices, and navigation elements like sticky headers and quick tabs make mobile shopping smoother.
3. Sales, CRM & Marketing
Sales Order Sections by Category: Improved catalog organization. Large sales orders are now cleaner to read and manage with product categories acting as headers. This helps with bundling and upselling.
New Payment Providers: Integration with local payment gateways means easier transactions in regional markets like the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.
Lead Prioritization & Win Rate Analysis: AI analyzes how likely a lead is to close and ranks them by urgency, helping sales teams focus where it counts.
Shared Contact Properties: Central categorization (industry, language, etc.). Users can now set global fields like language, region, or buying intent that apply to all related records.
Marketing Automation: Behavior-based lead nurturing and campaign flows. Campaigns can be triggered not just by time delays, but by user behavior like website visits, cart abandonment, or email interactions.
4. Point of Sale (POS)
Dark Mode and Updated UI: Odoo 19 introduces a dark mode option for POS, ideal for restaurants, cafes, and low-light environments. The user interface has been redesigned for quicker navigation, clearer product views, and more responsive interaction—reducing cashier training time.
Presets for Order Types: Businesses can now define and switch between different order modes such as Eat-in, Takeaway, or Delivery. Each mode can have its own receipt template, pricing logic, tax application, and kitchen routing—helping restaurants streamline front-to-back operations.
Faster Syncing and Offline Stability: Syncing between frontend POS terminals and backend inventory or accounting is significantly faster thanks to improved caching and data indexing. In offline mode, transactions are cached and safely synchronized once a connection is restored, preventing data loss.
Advanced Payment Handling: POS now supports partial payments, mixed payments (cash + card + loyalty), and integration with more hardware terminals. Support for digital wallets, QR payments, and region-specific gateways has also expanded.
Meal Voucher and Subsidy Handling: Ideal for businesses with cafeteria-like setups or employer-provided meal subsidies. Vouchers can be tracked, validated by barcode or employee ID, and tied to specific menus.
Real-time Inventory Linking: POS now has a live link to inventory, meaning that out-of-stock items are instantly flagged, and stock reservations can be made from the POS screen itself—reducing manual coordination.
5. Inventory & Purchase
Unified UoM & Packaging Model: The unit of measure and packaging configuration is now unified, reducing complexity for warehouse managers. This means product quantities, packaging types, and shipping configurations can be managed in one place.
Pack-in-Pack: Multi-level packaging tracking using serial numbers or roll IDs. This feature allows tracking of items that are packaged within other packages—ideal for complex logistics scenarios like roll-based materials, electronics kits, or nested containers. It improves visibility across multiple packaging levels.
Improved Replenishment Logic: Intelligent suggestions based on sales. Odoo now takes historical sales trends, supplier lead times, and minimum stock rules into account to generate more accurate purchase suggestions. This results in fewer stockouts and excess inventory.
Custom Serial Numbers: Assign SNs per product. Businesses can now assign specific serial number sequences per product, making it easier to match industry regulations (e.g. medical devices, automotive parts) or internal compliance standards.
Drag & Drop SO Imports: Reduce manual entry. Large sales orders from external systems (Excel, CSV) can now be imported via drag-and-drop, with automatic field mapping. This reduces the manual work often required in B2B sales environments.
6. Manufacturing (MRP)
Real-time Work Order Status: Flexible state changes (To Do, Blocked, Done). Shop floor supervisors and operators can now update the status of work orders on the fly—marking them as To Do, In Progress, Blocked, or Done. This improves production tracking and highlights bottlenecks.
Enhanced Shopfloor Interface: Card-based UX, component picking, instruction highlights. The new card-based interface clearly displays the next action, required components, and work instructions for each operation. It supports touch-screen input and QR code scanning for faster use on tablets or kiosks.
Product-specific Serial Sequences: Different products can now follow unique serial number formats (e.g. based on model, year, or production line). This makes post-production audits and product recalls more efficient.
Inline Quality Checks: Operators can now conduct and log quality checks directly within the work order screen, reducing delays and paperwork.
Flexible Component Picking: Odoo 19 supports both centralized and decentralized component picking—allowing manufacturers to adapt the logistics based on product or plant size.
7. Project Management & Services
Project Templates: Auto-launch projects with predefined structures. Standardize complex project workflows with predefined templates. Each template can include task structures, default deadlines, milestones, and allocated team roles—saving time and ensuring consistency.
Calendar-based Task Management: Drag-and-drop planning. A visual planning tool lets users drag and drop tasks directly in a calendar view, simplifying weekly workload reviews, sprint planning, or ad hoc rescheduling.
Auto-assignment by Role: Role-based task dispatching. When new tasks are created, they can be auto-assigned to users based on department or role—reducing project manager overhead and eliminating assignment delays.
Field Service Upgrades: Live location tracking, to-do via email alias. Field service professionals can now track live technician locations, receive to-do tasks via email aliases, and generate instant service reports on mobile devices. These upgrades bridge the gap between office scheduling and on-site execution.
8. HR, Payroll & Time Off
Duration-based Extra Hour Tracking: Instead of entering exact start and end times for overtime, HR managers can now log extra work in duration format (e.g., “2 hours overtime”). This provides more flexibility in calculating different compensation rates such as time-and-a-half or night shift premiums.
Contract & Payroll Unification: In previous versions, employee records and contracts were managed somewhat separately. Odoo 19 merges these structures into a unified view—making it easier to manage payroll inputs like wages, benefits, and deductions all in one place.
Overlapping Leave Detection: The Time Off module now detects and prevents overlapping leave requests. If an employee requests time off that clashes with an approved holiday or another absence, Odoo immediately flags the issue to avoid scheduling conflicts.
Time Off Usability Upgrades: Employees now benefit from a refreshed UI showing remaining leave balances, overlapping requests, and public holidays in a calendar view. HR teams can bulk approve requests, set leave limits by department, and monitor usage trends.
Public Holiday Defaults: When creating a new company database, Odoo can now preload public holidays based on the selected country. This helps HR teams quickly set up holiday calendars and ensure accurate accruals for time off balances.
Localized Payroll Engines: Odoo 19 introduces new certified payroll implementations for multiple countries including Australia and Switzerland, and updates for Belgium, UAE, and Kenya. Features include country-specific reporting.
Recruitment Enhancements: The recruitment app adds “talent pools” to organize candidates by job family, skill set, or readiness stage. Hiring teams can tag, search, and filter applicants more efficiently during high-volume periods.
9. Accounting & Finance
Mobile Reconciliation: Optimized for smartphones. One of the most user-requested features is now fully optimized for smartphones. Finance teams can reconcile bank statements on the go, approve entries, and match transactions directly from a mobile interface without needing to access a desktop dashboard.
Integrated Expense Cards: Physical/digital cards with policy-based controls. Employees can now be issued physical or virtual company cards that are fully integrated with Odoo’s Expense app. Managers can set budgets, define usage categories (e.g. travel, meals), and approve or reject expense reports in real time. Receipts are auto-matched to transactions, significantly reducing manual entry.
Tax Return Timeline: Filing alerts and auto-validations. Odoo 19 introduces a visual and dynamic tax calendar that shows upcoming filing dates, progress indicators, and automatic validation checks before submission. This is particularly valuable for jurisdictions with monthly or quarterly reporting.
Enhanced Localization & Regulatory Compliance: Localization support has expanded to over 50 countries.
Streamlined Vendor Bills & Deductibility: When logging supplier bills, Odoo now suggests tax deductibility percentages based on the product or expense type. For example, business lunches may automatically apply a 50% deductible rate under certain country rules.
Report Engine Overhaul: Odoo 19 improves the PDF generation engine used for financial statements, customer invoices, and audit reports. Documents now render faster, support digital signatures, and include customizable headers and footers for professional presentation.
Audit Trail & Access Logging: Every action within the accounting app now includes enhanced audit trails, including timestamped logs of user edits, approvals, or reversals. This is critical for regulated industries or companies preparing for external audits.
Customer & Vendor Statements: Businesses can now generate comprehensive statements including open invoices, payment history, and due amounts, and send them in bulk to clients or suppliers. These statements are customizable and available in multiple formats.
10. Discuss & Live Chat
@Role Mentions: Now you can mention entire groups or departments using role-based mentions (e.g. @Sales, @Accounting). This ensures the right teams get notified without tagging individuals manually—ideal for escalations or cross-functional tasks.
Smarter Formatting in Chatter: Odoo 19 allows you to use rich text formatting (bold, italic, strikethrough) and emojis directly within Chatter. This makes internal messages easier to read and more expressive—especially when used across task comments, invoices, and CRM notes.
Context-Aware Suggestions: AI bots now provide suggestions while you type, such as replying to a customer, assigning a task, or scheduling a meeting—based on the content of the discussion thread.
Push Notifications: Mobile users get better real-time notifications for mentions, missed calls, or team updates—reducing communication delays for remote staff.
AI Bot Routing: Odoo 19 includes an improved chatbot that recognizes the context of a query (e.g. refund, technical support) and routes the chat to the right team or agent. The bot can also create leads or tickets on the fly before escalating.
Skill-Based Assignment: Agents can be assigned based on topic expertise, language, or region. This improves resolution time and customer satisfaction—especially in multi-brand or global setups.
Session Management: Admins can now limit the number of simultaneous chats per agent and assign fallback agents if someone is unavailable. You can also schedule agent shifts to ensure 24/7 coverage.
Automatic File Forwarding: When a live chat results in a ticket, any files or screenshots shared by the customer are automatically attached to the case, ensuring nothing gets lost in handoff.
11. Odoo VoIP (Voice over IP)
Caller Preview: Before answering, agents can view who is calling, their company, deal stage, and previous tickets. This allows for better preparation and a more personalized experience.
Modern UI with Call Controls: A new interface shows call duration, mute/hold/transfer buttons, and access to quick notes. It also supports one-click call merging for adding supervisors or external participants.
In-Call Actions: Agents can now record calls, transfer to other users (blind or attended), or initiate follow-up actions (e.g. log a note, assign a task) without hanging up.
Do Not Disturb (DND) & Custom Availability: Agents can set availability manually or based on work hours. When in DND mode, calls route to voicemail or alternate users—reducing interruptions.
Support for Multiple Numbers: Odoo 19 allows agents to switch between business lines or region-specific numbers, supporting multibrand and multi-country businesses.
12. ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance)
Built-in ESG App: Odoo 19 includes a dedicated module for ESG tracking, designed especially for businesses preparing for compliance with frameworks like the EU CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). This app enables central recording of environmental, social, and governance metrics.
Scope 1–3 Emissions Tracking: The app helps businesses track:
Scope 1: Direct emissions (e.g., company vehicles, fuel consumption).
Scope 2: Indirect emissions (e.g., purchased electricity).
Scope 3: Emissions from the supply chain, employee travel, product use, etc.
Companies can input data manually or connect it with purchase orders and expense logs for automatic emissions calculation.
Preloaded Emission Factors: Odoo 19 includes a default emission library based on global benchmarks (such as DEFRA, GHG Protocol). For example, purchasing electronics, airline tickets, or office furniture will automatically pull corresponding CO₂ impact values.
Dynamic Dashboards: Businesses can view their carbon footprint over time, broken down by department, supplier, or activity type. Visuals include charts for emission trends, benchmarks vs. targets, and real-time status bars to track ESG KPIs.
Sustainability Goals & Action Plans: Users can set reduction targets and assign tasks across departments. For example, the system may suggest switching vendors or transportation modes based on emission impact.
Supplier Compliance Audits: You can now track ESG performance of your vendors and partners—assigning scores based on emissions, social impact, and regulatory disclosures. This promotes a sustainable supply chain.
Custom ESG Reports: Create ESG statements tailored to regulatory or investor formats—complete with breakdowns by emission category, governance practices, and social engagement efforts (e.g. diversity ratios, community initiatives).
13. Framework & Developer Tools
Calendar Multi-Edit: Users can now apply bulk edits across multiple calendar events using presets. This feature is especially useful for recurring planning tasks like HR shifts, service appointments, or bookings. By selecting a date range and applying a predefined setup (e.g., “Weekly Maintenance Slots”), teams can avoid repetitive data entry and reduce scheduling errors.
Gantt Upgrades: The updated Gantt chart offers intelligent zoom scaling and dynamic display modes. For example, as you zoom out, the timeline adjusts to display months or quarters, while zooming in reveals hours or days. The new “Sparse Mode” hides empty rows for a cleaner layout, and tooltips appear when resizing tasks, giving real-time context. These improvements benefit project planning, MRP scheduling, and field services.
Access Rights & Group Management Overhaul: Permission handling has been reengineered for clarity and control. Admins can now see which groups are manually assigned vs. inherited, simplifying access debugging. Odoo also merges record rules and access rights into a single configuration layer, reducing permission conflicts. When a user installs a new app, they’re now granted relevant roles automatically—improving first-time setup for less technical users.
Mobile UI Enhancements: Mobile navigation has been revamped with better interaction patterns. Pull-to-refresh is now available across most apps. Status ribbons take up less vertical space for better screen usage. Bottom sheets replace dropdown modals, aligning with iOS/Android UI conventions and improving accessibility on smaller screens.
Developer Productivity Tools:
Odoo 19 brings helpful improvements for technical teams:
JavaScript debugging tools are now more detailed, especially for OWL-based apps.
Auto-generated field descriptions enhance the developer documentation experience.
Log filtering by module and severity helps developers isolate issues faster in staging or production environments.
14. Industries & Localizations
New Industry Templates
Odoo now provides pre-configured setups for seven new industries including:
- Bakeries (e.g., daily production planning, POS for quick sale, expiration tracking)
- Environmental Agencies (e.g., ESG reporting, permit tracking)
- Personal Trainers & Wellness Centers (e.g., scheduling, subscription management)
These templates include dashboards, workflows, and sample data—allowing faster onboarding with minimal customization.
Membership & Subscription Management
Odoo 19 includes tools for managing recurring memberships. Businesses like gyms, clubs, or NGOs can now track member status, billing cycles, and renewals natively, without relying on custom development.
Warranty & Service Contract Tracking
Sales and after-service teams can now assign warranties to sold items, define service-level agreements, and trigger follow-ups automatically based on expiration or usage—ideal for electronics, machinery, or B2B SaaS contracts.
Extended Localizations
Odoo 19 expands compliance tools to over 50+ countries, adding support for local payroll structures (e.g. Belgium, UAE, Kenya, Australia, Switzerland).
Multi-Language & Multi-Currency Updates
Automatic fallback translations and smarter exchange rate syncing help multinational teams reduce errors in accounting, eCommerce, and support.
