Australian businesses implementing Odoo ERP need configuration for AASB accounting, ATO STP Phase 2 payroll reporting, 10% GST on supplies, and superannuation guarantee tracking at the current legislated rate. Fintax Support Limited deploys Odoo for Australian companies, migrating from Xero and MYOB while setting up BAS-ready tax codes, STP-compliant payroll, and superannuation fund payment integrations. We build management dashboards for cash flow forecasting and configure Odoo on Australian-hosted cloud infrastructure.

Odoo ERP services in Australia

Regulatory Framework

Odoo payroll must report through STP-enabled software to the ATO on or before each payday. GST modules must distinguish taxable (10%), GST-free, and input-taxed supplies per ATO classifications. Superannuation guarantee must be calculated on ordinary time earnings and paid to compliant super funds by quarterly deadlines to avoid SGC penalties.

ATO (Australian Taxation Office)

Our Odoo ERP Services in Australia

Odoo Implementation for Australian Businesses

Deploy Odoo ERP from discovery through go-live with a phased rollout designed for Australian businesses migrating from Xero, MYOB, or spreadsheets. We configure Accounting, Sales, Inventory, and HR modules on Odoo Enterprise or Community β€” hosted on Australian cloud infrastructure β€” with AASB chart of accounts, Odoo AU localization, GST tax settings, and integrations mapped to your operational workflows from day one.

Phased module rollout

Accounting, CRM, Inventory, and Payroll deployed in stages to minimize disruption to daily Australian operations.

Xero and MYOB migration

Historical transactions, open balances, and customer records migrated with trial balance tie-out validation.

Community vs Enterprise scoping

Edition selection based on Australian payroll, MRP, and Odoo AU localization requirements for your business size.

ATO-compliant configuration

Odoo configured for AASB reporting, GST tax codes, STP Phase 2 payroll, and BAS lodgement schedules from go-live.

How It Works

1

Discovery and requirements mapping

Document current workflows, integration needs, and Australian compliance requirements across accounting, GST, and payroll.

2

System design and configuration

Configure Odoo modules, AASB chart of accounts, user roles, and third-party integrations per approved design.

3

Data migration and UAT

Migrate historical data from Xero or MYOB, validate trial balance tie-outs, and run user acceptance testing.

4

Go-live and hypercare support

Cut over to production on Australian cloud infrastructure, provide go-live support, and monitor for a 30-day hypercare period.

Our end-to-end Odoo implementation follows a structured methodology tailored to Australian businesses β€” from single-entity Pty Ltd companies outgrowing Xero to multi-warehouse distributors needing Inventory and GST compliance across states and territories. We evaluate Odoo Community versus Enterprise based on your requirements: Enterprise includes Odoo AU localization with Australian payroll, advanced MRP, and official accounting reports, while Community suits businesses integrating external payroll via KeyPay or Employment Hero. Deployments run on Australian cloud infrastructure for data sovereignty and low-latency access across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth. Data migration from Xero, MYOB AccountRight, or MYOB Essentials includes chart of accounts mapping to AASB structure, open AR/AP balances, and inventory valuations validated against your last filed ATO company tax return. Phased rollouts typically span 8 to 16 weeks, starting with Accounting and Inventory before adding CRM, STP Phase 2 Payroll, and eCommerce connectors for Shopify AU and WooCommerce.

Common Questions

ATO-Compliant Chart of Accounts

Configure Odoo Accounting with an AASB-compliant chart of accounts aligned to ATO reporting requirements, GST tax code mappings, and BAS label reconciliation. Proper account structure in Odoo supports Business Activity Statements, company tax return preparation, and audit-ready financial statements for ASIC and external auditor requirements.

AASB account hierarchy

Chart of accounts structured under AASB with asset, liability, equity, revenue, and expense classifications in AUD.

GST tax code mapping

Accounts mapped to GST, GST-Free, Input Taxed, and BAS Excluded tax treatments per ATO supply classifications.

AASB financial report templates

P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow reports formatted under AASB with comparative period columns in AUD.

Multi-company and analytic tags

Department, location, and project analytic accounts for segmented reporting across Australian entities and branches.

How It Works

1

Entity and tax registration review

Confirm ABN, TFN, GST registration, PAYG withholding, and AASB reporting requirements before configuration.

2

Chart of accounts and tax mapping

Build AASB account hierarchy in Odoo with account types, reconcile flags, and default tax mappings for each supply type.

3

Journal and fiscal position setup

Configure sales, purchase, bank, and payroll journals with fiscal positions applying correct GST treatment by transaction type.

4

Report validation and training

Validate financial reports and BAS figures against prior-year Xero or accountant-prepared statements and train your bookkeeper.

Australian tax compliance requires Odoo to distinguish between GST (10% on taxable supplies), GST-Free (exports, basic food, health services), Input Taxed (financial supplies, residential rent), and BAS Excluded items (wages, bank transfers, owner drawings) per ATO classifications. We configure the Odoo AU localization chart of accounts with reconcile flags on bank, AR, AP, GST clearing, and payroll accounts for clean month-end close. Analytic accounts tag transactions by department, location, or project for management reporting alongside ATO company tax return filing. Accrual or cash basis is set to match your accounting policy, and BAS reconciliation reports align with ATO lodgement periods β€” monthly, quarterly, or annually depending on your turnover and ATO assignment. The chart supports instant asset write-off tracking, R&D tax incentive expenditure tagging, and franking account balances for dividend-paying companies.

Common Questions

GST Module for BAS Automation

Configure Odoo GST module with ATO-compliant tax codes for taxable, GST-Free, Input Taxed, and BAS Excluded supplies, automated BAS label aggregation, and reconciliation workflows for quarterly or monthly lodgement. Proper GST configuration in Odoo supports Business Activity Statements, GST refund claims, and audit-ready tax records for ATO review.

GST 10% tax code setup

Taxable supplies at 10% GST with automatic calculation on sales invoices and purchase bills.

Supply classification codes

GST-Free, Input Taxed, and BAS Excluded codes configured per ATO supply type for accurate BAS reporting.

BAS label aggregation

Automated reports mapping Odoo transactions to BAS labels 1A, 1B, W1, W2, and 5A for ATO lodgement.

BAS reconciliation workflow

Month-end and quarter-end reconciliation between Odoo GST figures and ATO Business Activity Statements.

How It Works

1

GST registration and BAS cycle review

Confirm ABN GST registration, BAS reporting frequency, and cash versus accrual GST accounting method with the ATO.

2

Tax code and product mapping

Configure GST, GST-Free, Input Taxed, and BAS Excluded tax codes on products, services, and expense categories.

3

BAS report and journal setup

Build BAS summary reports, GST clearing journal entries, and fiscal positions for interstate and export transactions.

4

Lodgement validation and training

Validate BAS figures against prior Xero or MYOB lodgements and train your team on GST coding and reconciliation.

Australian GST compliance requires Odoo to correctly classify every supply β€” 10% GST on most goods and services, GST-Free on exports and eligible food and health items, Input Taxed on financial supplies and residential rent (no GST charged, limited input tax credits), and BAS Excluded on wages, superannuation, and bank transfers that do not appear on BAS. We configure the Odoo AU localization GST module with fiscal positions for export customers (GST-Free), import transactions (GST on imports via deferred GST scheme where applicable), and mixed supply scenarios. BAS label reports aggregate GST collected (1A), GST paid (1B), gross wages (W1), PAYG tax withheld (W2), and PAYG instalments (5A) for direct mapping to ATO Business Activity Statements. Cash basis GST reporting is configured for eligible small businesses, with accrual basis for larger entities per ATO assignment. Reconciliation workflows compare Odoo GST clearing account balances to BAS lodgement figures each period, flagging uncoded transactions before your tax agent submits via the ATO portal.

Common Questions

Australian Payroll (PAYG, Super, STP)

Configure Odoo Payroll for ATO-compliant payroll processing covering PAYG withholding per ATO tax tables, superannuation guarantee at 11.5%, STP Phase 2 reporting, and Modern Awards leave entitlements. Accurate payroll in Odoo posts journal entries to your general ledger and supports quarterly super payments, year-end STP finalisation, and Fair Work compliant leave tracking.

PAYG withholding calculation

Income tax withheld per ATO PAYG tax tables based on employee tax file number declaration and residency status.

Superannuation guarantee 11.5%

SG calculated on ordinary time earnings at the current legislated rate with SuperStream payment file generation.

STP Phase 2 reporting

Pay event data reported to the ATO on or before each payday including income types, country codes, and leave balances.

Modern Awards and leave

Annual leave (20 days) and personal/carer's leave (10 days) tracked per Fair Work National Employment Standards.

How It Works

1

Payroll structure design

Define salary structures, pay schedules, Modern Award classifications, and benefit allocations for your Australian workforce.

2

ATO tax rule configuration

Configure PAYG withholding per ATO tax tables, superannuation guarantee at 11.5%, and STP Phase 2 income type codes.

3

GL mapping and STP integration

Map payroll components to Odoo chart of accounts and configure STP Phase 2 pay event submission to the ATO each pay run.

4

Payroll run testing and go-live

Process test payroll runs, validate against manual PAYG calculations, and go live with first pay period and STP submission.

Australian payroll requires precise handling of PAYG withholding per ATO tax tables (Schedule 1 β€” Tax table for daily and casual workers, Schedule 5 β€” Tax table for back payments, etc.), superannuation guarantee at 11.5% on ordinary time earnings paid to compliant super funds via SuperStream by quarterly deadlines, and STP Phase 2 reporting to the ATO on or before each payday. Odoo Enterprise includes Odoo AU localization payroll calculating PAYG based on employee TFN declarations, residency status, and Medicare levy variations. STP Phase 2 extends reporting to include income type breakdowns (salary, allowances, overtime, directors' fees), country codes for overseas work, and leave accrual balances. Modern Awards configure penalty rates, shift loadings, and allowance structures for award-covered employees. Fair Work National Employment Standards entitlements β€” annual leave (20 days per year for full-time employees), personal/carer's leave (10 days), and long service leave per state legislation β€” are tracked in Odoo with accrual journals posting to leave liability accounts. Payroll journal entries post wages, employer super, PAYG liabilities, and workers compensation to correct GL accounts for BAS W1/W2 reconciliation.

Common Questions

Multi-Currency & AUD Configuration

Configure Odoo with AUD as base currency and USD, EUR, GBP, and other trading currencies for Australian businesses with international trade and cross-border suppliers. Multi-currency setup in Odoo handles RBA exchange rate updates, unrealised gain/loss posting, and GST reporting in AUD for ATO BAS submissions.

AUD base currency setup

Australian dollar configured as company base currency with AASB-compliant exchange difference posting.

AUD/USD trading currencies

Customer invoices and supplier bills in USD and other currencies with daily or monthly RBA rate updates.

Unrealised gain/loss reporting

Month-end revaluation of open foreign currency balances with automated journal entries in AUD.

ATO reporting in AUD

BAS returns and financial reports submitted to the ATO in AUD regardless of invoice currency.

How It Works

1

Currency and trading review

Identify foreign currency customers, suppliers, and bank accounts requiring multi-currency configuration for international trade.

2

Exchange rate source setup

Configure RBA rate feeds with automatic daily updates and manual override capability for less frequent traders.

3

GL and revaluation configuration

Map exchange gain/loss accounts, configure revaluation journal templates, and set month-end close procedures in AUD.

4

Testing and reporting validation

Process test invoices in USD, validate AUD conversion on payments, and confirm GST input tax credit accuracy.

Australian businesses trading internationally routinely invoice in USD, EUR, or GBP while reporting GST and income tax in AUD. Odoo multi-currency configuration sets AUD as the functional currency with automatic conversion on transaction date for invoices, bills, and payments. Exchange rates update from Reserve Bank of Australia published rates or via automated feeds, with AUD/USD being the most common trading pair for export and import businesses. Month-end revaluation runs on open foreign currency receivables and payables, posting unrealised gains and losses to designated nominal accounts before management accounts close. Multi-currency bank accounts reconcile in both foreign currency and AUD equivalent. BAS returns report all GST amounts in AUD β€” Odoo converts foreign currency invoice tax to AUD at the transaction date rate for GST on sales (1A) and GST on purchases (1B) calculations. Realised exchange differences on USD payment settlement are captured automatically when bank receipts differ from invoice rates, supporting AASB-compliant foreign currency translation.

Common Questions

Inventory & Warehouse Management

Deploy Odoo Inventory for multi-warehouse Australian fulfilment with real-time stock tracking, lot and serial number traceability, and COGS posting under AASB. From single-location distributors to multi-state 3PL operations, Odoo Inventory gives Australian businesses accurate stock valuation for ATO company tax returns and audited financial statements.

Multi-warehouse management

Stock tracked across Australian warehouses, retail locations, and 3PL fulfilment centres with inter-warehouse transfers.

Receiving and shipping workflows

Purchase receipt, pick-pack-ship, and delivery order workflows with barcode scanning support across states.

AASB inventory valuation

FIFO or average cost valuation with automated COGS posting to support ATO tax return and balance sheet compliance.

Reorder rules and forecasting

Minimum stock rules, lead time planning, and demand forecasting to prevent stockouts across Australian locations.

How It Works

1

Warehouse structure design

Define warehouse locations, internal routes, storage zones, and picking strategies for your Australian fulfilment network.

2

Product and UoM configuration

Set up products with lot/serial tracking, units of measure, barcodes, and costing method (FIFO or average).

3

Workflow and automation setup

Configure receiving, quality checks, putaway rules, reorder points, and automated inter-warehouse transfers.

4

Go-live and cycle count programme

Launch inventory operations with initial stock load, barcode deployment, and recurring cycle count schedule.

Odoo Inventory provides Australian businesses with real-time stock visibility across warehouses, retail stores, and third-party logistics providers from Sydney to Perth. We configure costing methods β€” FIFO or weighted average β€” aligned with AASB and your tax accounting policy. Automated COGS entries post when delivery orders are validated, feeding accurate gross margin into Odoo financial reports and ATO company tax return calculations. Lot and serial number tracking supports TGA-regulated industries, electronics warranty management, and product recall traceability under Australian Consumer Law. For eCommerce sellers, we configure virtual warehouse locations reconciled against Shopify AU and marketplace inventory reports. Reorder rules with lead time and safety stock calculations prevent stockouts during peak Australian retail seasons including EOFY sales, Black Friday, and holiday fulfilment. Barcode scanning via Odoo Mobile accelerates receiving and picking in warehouse operations. Cycle count schedules maintain inventory accuracy above 98% β€” the threshold most Australian auditors expect before relying on perpetual inventory records.

Common Questions

CRM & Sales Pipeline Setup

Implement Odoo CRM with Australian sales stages, automated lead routing by state, quotation workflows with 10% GST at checkout, and commission tracking integrated directly to Accounting.

4

Team training and go-live

Train sales team on pipeline management, quotation creation, and handoff to delivery and accounting teams.

Odoo CRM gives Australian sales teams a unified pipeline from first enquiry through closed-won, with GST applied automatically on quotations and sales orders. We configure sales stages matching your B2B or B2C sales cycle β€” prospect, qualified, proposal, negotiation, and won β€” with probability weighting for revenue forecasting. Fiscal positions apply the correct tax treatment based on supply type: 10% GST on taxable supplies, GST-Free on exports and eligible items, Input Taxed on financial services, and BAS Excluded on out-of-scope transactions. Lead assignment rules route enquiries by state, industry vertical, or sales territory across your Australian team. Quotation templates include AUD pricing with GST clearly displayed per Australian Consumer Law requirements. Won opportunities convert to sales orders triggering inventory allocation, delivery orders, and GST-compliant invoices in Odoo Accounting β€” eliminating manual re-entry and ensuring tax collected matches ATO BAS remittance obligations.

Common Questions

eCommerce Integration (Shopify, WooCommerce)

Connect Shopify AU and WooCommerce to Odoo for automated order import, inventory synchronization, and revenue reconciliation across Australian sales channels. Multi-channel eCommerce integration eliminates manual data entry, ensures 10% GST posts correctly, and produces clean revenue records for ATO company tax returns and BAS lodgement.

Australian eCommerce businesses selling on Shopify AU and WooCommerce need unified order and inventory management in Odoo to avoid overselling, manual entry errors, and GST compliance gaps. Shopify AU integration via REST Admin API imports online orders with line items, customer data, and shipping details β€” triggering Odoo delivery orders and 10% GST posting on taxable supplies. WooCommerce connector syncs WordPress store orders with configurable tax mapping for GST, GST-Free exports, and BAS Excluded items. Multi-channel inventory updates prevent overselling β€” when stock changes in Odoo from a warehouse receipt or manufacturing completion, Shopify AU and WooCommerce update simultaneously. GST at checkout applies 10% on domestic Australian shipments, GST-Free on eligible exports, and correct treatment for digital services under Australian tax rules. Platform fees, payment gateway charges, refunds, and chargebacks post to separate GL accounts so gross revenue, net revenue, and COGS are accurately reported for ATO company tax return filing and BAS reconciliation.

Odoo's built-in reporting engine and customisable dashboards give Australian management teams real-time visibility without exporting to spreadsheets. We configure executive dashboards showing revenue by state, gross margin trends, accounts receivable aging, and cash position in AUD β€” with drill-down to underlying transactions for audit support. GST dashboards track output tax collected versus input tax credits claimed, reconciling to BAS labels (1A, 1B) and flagging discrepancies before ATO lodgement. Payroll analytics show PAYG withholding, superannuation guarantee at 11.5%, and workers compensation trends by department, with year-end indicators for STP Phase 2 finalisation. Inventory KPIs include stock turnover rates, dead stock identification, and warehouse utilisation across Australian locations. Custom pivot reports slice data by analytic account, sales team, product category, or customer state β€” supporting PAYG instalment planning and R&D tax incentive expenditure analysis. Scheduled reports deliver monthly management packs to stakeholders automatically, replacing manual Excel consolidation.
