Odoo 15 Fiscal Localization - US

Functional Odoo 15 Accounting

Odoo software is one of the most superiorly functioning ERP software systems that every organization utilizes. Odoo is an Open-source modular structures software with a solid technical foundation and robust functionality.

Odoo is entitled to a complete package of ERP solutions that constantly switches to a newer version every year with more updated features. The Odoo platform can be configured with features to benefit country-specific users because Odoo has clients all around the globe with different locations and different requirements.

Odoo provides different fiscal localization packages, which define the necessary configuration of taxes, fiscal positions, chart of accounts, and configuration of specific certificates for the accounting module, which are all required to make the ERP usable for the specific country. Typically, the first step in creating a localization is to set up the country's chart of Accounts with the associated dependencies like  Account types and taxes.

Let's see how the US localization in Odoo 15 is defined.

The US localization in the Odoo package can be installed at the database creation, which automatically installs the localization based on the country mentioned. You can install the required packages from Apps and do the configuration part as depicted in the following image.

2. 1099 Reporting (l10n_us_1099)

Odoo 15 accounting module brings up a new feature in this localization called 1099 report, which helps to export a CSV file containing all the information you need to e-file 1099s through a 3rd party service, i.e., easily export accounting data that can be imported to a 3rd party that does 1099 e-filing.

You can use the 1099 Reports wizard below to pick the start date and end date; you also need to select journal items and click on the Generate button. After clicking, it will automatically check selected journal items and generate a 1099 report CSV file.

3. US Checks Layout (l10n_us_check_printing)

This module allows you to print your payments on pre-printed check paper. You can configure the output (layout, stubs information, etc.) in company settings and manage the checks numbering (if you use pre-printed checks without numbers) in journal settings.

4. NACHA Payments (l10n_us_payment_nacha)

5. US - Accounting Reports 

This provides the basic reporting section with US GAAP with Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, Executive Summary, Cash flow Statements, Check Registers, and other Partner Reports and Audit Reports.
