Gérez votre comptabilité multi-sociétés et multi-devises avec Odoo
Managing multiple companies or conducting transactions in multiple currencies represents a major organizational challenge for many businesses. Between the consolidation of financial data, the management of exchange rates, and the need to maintain a clear view by entity, traditional accounting tools quickly reach their limits.
Odoo addresses these challenges with an Accounting module natively designed for multi-company and multi-currency environments. All your entities are managed in a single instance, with data compartmentalized by company and a consolidated view accessible in just a few clicks.
As a certified Odoo Gold integration partner, Idealis Consulting supports groups and SMEs with multi-entity structures in the deployment and configuration of Odoo and its accounting module.

Multi-company management in Odoo: a unique environment for all your entities
Odoo permet de gérer plusieurs sociétés au sein d'une même instance. Chaque entité dispose de son propre plan comptable, de ses propres journaux, de ses paramètres TVA et de ses règles de facturation, tout en étant accessible depuis un environnement de travail commun. Les utilisateurs naviguent d'une société à l'autre sans changer d'outil, et les droits d'accès garantissent que chaque collaborateur ne voit que les données qui le concernent.
Simplified financial consolidation
The accounting data of each company remains compartmentalized and secure, but Odoo allows for easy consolidation to obtain an overview of the group. The consolidated financial statements, inter-company reports, and multi-entity dashboards provide financial management with a clear reading of overall performance, without export or manual reprocessing.
Management of inter-company flows
To add a fourth column, reduce the size of these three columns using the right icon of each block. Then, duplicate one of the columns to create a new one as a copy.
Transactions between entities of the same group, internal re-invoicing, inter-company loans, bulk purchases, are natively managed in Odoo. An invoice issued by company A to company B automatically generates the corresponding entries in both entities, ensuring accounting consistency without double entry.
Chart of accounts and localization by entity
Each company can have its own Odoo tax localization. A Belgian subsidiary will apply the Belgian localization with its specific chart of accounts and VAT codes, while a French or Dutch entity will use its own localization. Idealis, an Odoo integration partner, configures these multi-localization environments taking into account the tax and accounting specifics of each country.
Multi-currency management in Odoo : invoicing and accounting in all currencies
For companies operating internationally, currency management is often a source of complexity: fluctuating exchange rates, conversion discrepancies, reporting in a reference currency. Odoo natively integrates multi-currency management in its Accounting module, with automatic updates of exchange rates and rigorous management of conversion discrepancies.
Automatic update of exchange rates
Odoo connects to reference sources to automatically update exchange rates according to the frequency you define. Each transaction is recorded at the rate in effect at the time of the operation, and conversion discrepancies are calculated and accounted for automatically during settlements. Gone is the manual management of rates in separate Excel spreadsheets.
Customer and supplier invoicing in foreign currencies
Issue your customer invoices in dollars, pounds sterling, Swiss francs, or any other currency. Odoo automatically generates the accounting entry in your reference currency, applying the rate of the day. On the purchasing side, supplier invoices in foreign currencies are handled with the same rigor, and SEPA or manual payments are reconciled in your accounting without discrepancies.
Financial reporting in the group's reference currency
Regardless of the number of currencies used in your operations, Odoo consolidates all your financial data in the reference currency of your choice. Your financial statements, balance sheets, and income statements are always readable in a common unit of measure, facilitating comparisons between periods and tracking the overall performance of the group.
Why entrust your multi-company project Odoo to a certified integration partner?
A multi-company and multi-currency Odoo project is structurally more complex than a single-entity deployment. Configuring access rights, intercompany transactions, tax locations by country, exchange rates, and consolidation rules requires in-depth expertise on the Odoo solution and a thorough understanding of accounting and tax constraints.
As a Gold Odoo integration partner, Idealis Consulting masters these advanced configurations.
Our consultants intervene at every stage:
- Analysis of your legal structure and your inter-company financial flows.
- Configuration of companies, tax locations, and journals in Odoo.
- Configuration of currencies, automatic exchange rates, and conversion rules.
- Implementation of inter-company flows and validation of accounting consistency between entities.
- Training your accounting teams and support after production deployment.
