Functional Odoo 13 Accounting

Documentation and managing of the various reports and papers of the company have always been important in the running of a business. The important document should be effectively managed and recorded or kept stored for future use regarding them. Any mismanagement of these important documentations can cause serious loss of information and profit to any company. Moreover certified credential documents in the wrong hands will lead to catastrophic consequences to the company. In the earlier days of operation usually, these documents such as invoices, vendor bills, specific information documents, licenses, permits, tax details, etc were stored as hard copies under various filing cabinets of the company offices. This usually caused the mismanagement, misplacing, and the loss of various data and information.


As the times changed with the development of the digitalization era the various companies found the need to implement management solutions to run the company. This paved the way to the development of various Enterprise and resource planning software (ERPs) which would automate the management process of a company. This software is designed to control all aspects of the operation and monitor the various actions and decisions being made within the company.
