Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Odoo Project Module?
The Odoo Project Module is a project management application within Odoo ERP used to manage tasks, timelines, teams, timesheets, and project collaboration from a centralized platform.
Can Odoo check warranty status automatically when a service ticket is raised?
Yes. Odoo automatically cross-checks warranty validity at the moment a service ticket is created. It compares the installation date and warranty period against today’s date for the specific serial number. If the product is under warranty, billing is blocked to prevent incorrect charges. A dashboard also shows all products expiring in the next 30 days.
How does Odoo handle spare parts before a technician visits a customer?
When spare parts are identified for a repair job, Odoo automatically creates an internal transfer, reserves the required parts from the warehouse, and updates stock in real time — before the technician leaves for the site. Technician van stock is tracked separately. This eliminates the most common cause of repeat visits: arriving without the correct component.
Which electronics and appliance categories does Odoo Service ERP support?
Odoo supports any product tracked by serial number. In the electronics and appliance industry this covers: Air Conditioners (split, window, cassette, commercial HVAC), Refrigerators, Washing Machines, Water Purifiers (RO), Solar Systems, UPS & Inverters, and LED TVs. The product form supports warranty period, service category, installation requirements, spare parts list, and technician skill mapping.
Does Odoo generate invoices automatically after a service job is completed?
Yes. Odoo handles three billing scenarios automatically: (1) Under Warranty — no invoice is raised, or a vendor warranty claim is created; (2) Under AMC — the job is marked as covered under the active subscription; (3) Paid Service — an itemised invoice is auto-generated with service charge, spare part cost, and technician visit fee included.
How do technicians get notified about assigned service jobs in Odoo?
When a technician is assigned to a service task, Odoo sends an automatic WhatsApp notification or email containing the customer’s location (Google Maps link), issue description, product serial number, and warranty/AMC status — removing the need for phone calls and ensuring technicians have all information before departing.
Do I need separate accounting software if I use Odoo for service management?
No. Odoo integrates Sales, Inventory, Field Service, and Accounting natively. Invoices are generated from service tasks, spare part costs flow into job profitability automatically, AMC revenue is recognised monthly, and vendor warranty claims are tracked — all within the same platform.
What performance data can management track in Odoo's service dashboard?
Odoo’s service management dashboard provides real-time visibility into: number of open tickets, active AMC contracts, technician productivity, average ticket resolution time, spare parts consumption per technician, and total revenue generated from service — all in one centralized view.
