SAP Business One and Odoo: one database instead of Business One and its add-ons

For growing businesses on SAP Business One.

Too deep?

The short answer

What SAP Business One does well

Dates to know

Where Odoo fits

The deciding factor: How many add-ons you run and what the version 11 move will cost, against one system with the apps included.

Part of an SAP group?

Where a parent runs SAP and a subsidiary runs Business One, Odoo can take that place and post to the group: the same two-tier pattern.

Business One and Odoo, side by side

What Business One does on its own, what usually needs an add-on, and the same job in Odoo. Checked 29 October 2026; add-ons change, so confirm your own setup.

Your question · SAP Business One · Odoo 20 · How TRC delivers it

Finance and companies

Several companies, and trading between them? · Each company is a separate database. Intercompany trading and consolidation need an add-on, such as SAP's Intercompany Integration Solution. · Several companies in one database, with intercompany rules and consolidation. · Standard in Odoo · TRC configures

Changing screens, fields and workflows without code? · Usually done with the B1 Usability Package (B1UP) from Boyum IT. · Odoo Studio, in the same system (Odoo's Custom plan). · Standard in Odoo · TRC configures

Stock and operations

Manufacturing beyond production orders? · Bills of materials, production orders and MRP are standard. Finite scheduling and shop-floor data collection usually need an add-on, such as Beas. · Manufacturing with work centers, routings, planning and shop-floor screens, plus Quality and Maintenance. · Standard in Odoo

Process or batch manufacturing (recipes, co-products)? · Not in the standard product; usually an add-on, such as Produmex. · Manufacturing with by-products, lots and quality checks. · Standard in Odoo · TRC configures
