Understanding various Requirements & Levels of Customization in any ERP / Odoo software

It is preferred that the lower custom code the quick ERP implementation and easy migration for Future. Since ERP software is one single software used by every business which replaces the legacy and stand alone software, Custom ERP development is required by Businesses. There are various levels of where ERP software is demanded by businesses and organizations to meet their ultimate goal of perfect ERP system. The same can be divided into as follows:
Small code tweaking or no changes in coding refers to No Alteration stage in an ERP software. This category includes a particular App that needs to develop or customize as per the business requirement there can be multiple app or department which works in the particular flow that is not carried out by the industry. Therefore some tailoring may require in ERP software. From 11 to 25 % configurations and settings come in this category.
If there are no custom coding requirements in an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, it means that the system is being used in its standard, out-of-the-box configuration without any modifications or enhancements specific to the business. This can be beneficial in terms of reducing implementation time and cost, as well as increasing ease of maintenance and upgrading, but it may limit the system’s ability to fully meet the unique needs and requirements of the organization.
1 to 10% addition of new code is where you end up with minor level changes – this means the system meets your specific business requirements and with minor custom development you can start using the solution. Minor code adjustments allows you with quick deployment and goes live of the ERP project.
System with minor re-modeling refers to a system that has been modify to some extent to better fit the specific needs of a business, but the modifications made are not extensive enough to significantly alter the core functionality or architecture of the system. This approach can provide a balance between meeting the specific needs of the organization and minimizing the potential negative impact on system stability, maintenance, and upgradeability.
- Significant Customization
If you are accommodating an ERP solution which is between 26% to 50% then you are looking out for significant change requirement. This may increase the timeline of the development as well as the cost of overall project. Modifications made to an ERP system that significantly alter the system’s core functionality or architecture to better fit the unique needs of a business.
These may involve changes to the user interface, business processes, data structure, or system integrations, among other areas. While significant custom development can help an organization achieve greater system fit and process automation, they can also increase implementation time and cost, as well as the complexity of maintaining and upgrading the system.
If you are looking out for changes which is more than 50% of each and every module this belongs to extreme revamping. This happens when you get the solution which fits your business needs or provides you with confidence but there are certain areas which are still not covered by the ERP software.
- Completely Customize ERP solution

What is the difference between Customization and Configuration:
When it comes to making your Odoo ERP system your own assets, there are a lot of terms that can get thrown around, including customization and configuration. Your vendor/partner will expertly collect your business requirements, and then either configure your system to meet these requirements or customize your system to meet your needs.
Many times lot of people get confused with Configurations vs Customization. Although both are different which we will discuss in this section. There is a huge difference in both model. Custom development includes adding new code in either an existing module of Odoo or creating a new module through coding to meet the needs of the company. Whereas Configurations include only settings in ERP software to meet the needs of the customer. The time-frame for both varies as new coding requires time whereas configuration can be done in few clicks.
Odoo Customization :
When you customize an Odoo ERP software, you are building functionality that doesn’t currently exist anywhere in the software even either through 3rd party apps. If your Odoo Partner don’t have the capabilities to achieve the customizations you are looking out for then there may be difficulties that will increase your implementation timeline and the desire outcome of a particular Odoo Module.
- Custom coding requires both Technical as well as Function knowledge.
- Alteration or Customized Development needs powerful Product knowledge.
- Modifications is always unique to your company processes.
- Standard Coding’s are added to meet business requirements
- Can be costly compare to Configurations.
- Requires Time for Planning, Coding as per Odoo Standards, development, Testing, Interlinking with other Modules.
- A vendor may require allocation of Multiple resources such as Technical, Functional, Testers etc.
Odoo Configurations
Configurations is not as tricky compare to custom development because with Configurations you just change the existing functionality without coding. When you are configuring ERP you are actually building the workflows in a few clicks. Setting capabilities are very important part compare to customization. Vendor must be able to understand the complete level of configurations that can be performed in Odoo. Else, with poor knowledge, the vendor will end up customizing everything in Odoo which will increase the ERP implementation cost as well as timelines of the project.
- Configuration requires a deep Knowledge and understanding of each module. Example – MRP, Sales, Human Resource Management.
- Configuration never touches the core code of the module. Everything is handled through settings.
- It can be easily revertible if not suiting your business needs.
