Odoo 19 represents a significant evolution of the platform. This release brings AI capabilities into everyday workflows, redesigns core processes like quoting and inventory management, and adds over 100 industry-specific solutions.
Whether you're evaluating Odoo for the first time or planning an upgrade from an earlier version, this guide covers the features that will have the biggest impact on your daily operations.
We'll focus on practical improvements across sales, inventory, accounting, and operations—the areas where most businesses spend their time.
Odoo 19 integrates AI throughout the platform, not as a standalone feature but embedded into existing workflows.
The CRM now uses AI to predict your closing probability on each lead. More importantly, it tells you why the score is what it is and what you can do to improve it.
How it works:
When a colleague takes over a lead, AI summarises past conversations—including email attachments—so they can respond without reading through the entire history.
Describe your sorting rules in plain language, and Odoo organises documents automatically.
Example rules you might set:
New documents are sorted instantly. Activities are created and assigned automatically based on your rules.
The new quoting interface works seamlessly across desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Type a company name and Odoo pulls details from Dun & Bradstreet automatically:
No more manual data entry for new customers.
Browse products by category, select items, and add them to your quote directly from the catalogue view.
Organise complex quotes into logical sections:
| Feature | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Sections | Group items by area (e.g., "Office Space", "Reception") |
| Subsections | Create nested groupings within sections |
| Hidden prices | Hide line item prices for things like installation |
| Hidden compositions | Show only the total, not individual components |
| Notes | Add explanatory text to any section |
Drag and drop items between sections to reorganise.
Shipping costs calculate automatically based on product weight. Add shipping as a line item and the system handles the calculation.
The forecast report now provides a clearer overview of stock movements:
Create rules that scan a realistic time horizon (e.g., 90 days instead of 365) to see what you'll need soon, not just eventually.
The deadline column shows when to order to avoid stockouts.
