ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning Software is a software tool that is used to coordinate the overall operations of a business or organization. As ERP tools are used globally this tool has to be developed in a way to suit the requirement of the clients from different countries. Odoo is one of the best ERP tools, has already introduced localization to help customers. Odoo localization helps Odoo clients to manage their business following all government rules and policies. It helps to calculate taxes according to the rules of the country. The clients can select localization and choose the fiscal position and manage all tax-related operations accordingly with this feature.

ERP localization also helps to manage human resources, payroll, sales and purchase, and budget management. In short, we can say that localization of ERP means the ability of the Enterprise Resource Planning solution to help a business to easily comply with the laws of the country. For example, The tax regime in India will be different from the tax regime in the USA or UAE. 

With localization, the clients can make maximum use of the ERP solution to suit the currency, tax laws, language, and time zone of the particular country where the business is operating.

In this blog, we can discuss the benefits of ERP localization

Multi-currency management

Different countries use different currencies. An ERP solution that is intended to benefit the users of multiple countries should be able to carry out all transactions using different currencies. Odoo's open-source software platform enables the user to use different currencies. This can be enabled with ease by going to the settings of the selected App. This can be managed at different apps including Accounting, Sales, and Purchase.  Here, the user can select the currency type. It also enables the user to choose a multi-currency option.

Time Zone setting
