Odoo ERP modules provide fiscal localization packages, which include a chart of accounts, per-configured taxes, legal declarations, and fiscal positions stored in a database. These modules make tax automation easier by allowing users from many countries to localize ERP commodities based on their regulations.
Odoo ERP improves localization features in modules such as Odoo 17 Accounting module, which simplifies electronic invoice storage, tax application, customer tax management, withholding taxes, credits, and book payments. Fiscal localization also makes it easier to integrate accounting transactions, provide different reports, and centralized organizational data.
Activating Fiscal Localization
Fiscal Localization Packages are customized to modules created for specific countries to meet your fiscal management needs. They use preset taxes, fiscal positions, account charts, legal statements, certificate configurations, and other elements in your accounting system.
Odoo automatically installs a fiscal localization package for your business based on the country you select when building the database. To pick a package, go to the ‘Configuration’ menu and activate the ‘Fiscal Localization’ option from the ‘Settings’ window, then save the configuration changes.
Configuring Fiscal Years
You can also access and enable the ‘Fiscal Year’ option in Odoo 17 Accounting by selecting the ‘Settings’ tab, as shown below.
After activating the Fiscal Localization capabilities, select the ‘Fiscal Years’ option from the ‘Configuration’ menu drop-down list.
A company can easily create a fiscal year by clicking the ‘New’ option in the fiscal year dashboard window.
Enter the fiscal year’s names in the ‘Name’ column. Then, enter a ‘Start Date’ and ‘End Date’ for the relevant Fiscal year. Finally, select ‘Company’ and save the data by clicking the save button. Then proceed to the next phase.
Creating Fiscal Positions In Odoo
Users can simplify tax administration by using transaction accounts and defining rules for manual tax adaption when the fiscal position is based on a nation.
Partners may be assigned to these positions, which can be applied for manually or automatically. Accounting fiscal positions can be obtained via the ‘Fiscal Positions’ box on the ‘Configuration’ page.
By selecting the ‘New’ icon, a new fiscal position can be created. The List view displays different entries for each fiscal position.
To configure taxes, users can select the ‘Use TaxCloud API’ option and provide their fiscal position name in Odoo 17’s ‘Fiscal Position’ field. They can also calculate taxes using the ‘Use Avatax API’ feature. To automatically identify the fiscal position, users can check the ‘Detect Automatically’ box and enter their company name in the ‘Company’ form.
Users can enter the tax ID associated with their company’s fiscal condition in the ‘Foreign Tax ID’ section. If the nation group is similar to the delivery ‘Country’, then we can include it in the ‘Country Group’ field. Users can enter a range count in the ZIP Range field, and the Federal states field returns the states based on the selected country/nation.
The ‘Add a line’ option in the ‘Tax Mapping’ tab area allows us to put the tax on a product as well as the Tax to Apply. Finally, in the Account Mapping area, users can create a product account. After applying the Fiscal Position information, we must manually save the data by selecting the save icon.
