Frequently asked questions

What is 3-way matching?

It checks the purchase order, the vendor bill and the warehouse receipt against each other so a vendor is only paid once goods have actually arrived.

Can I export these reports to a spreadsheet?

Yes, most pivot views include an Insert in Spreadsheet option when the Documents Spreadsheet module is installed.

Do I need another Odoo database for EDI order exchange?

Yes, the EDI workflow exchanges purchase and sales orders between two separate Odoo databases, one for the buyer and one for the seller.
