Brain-tec developed an extension to the Helpdesk app to make the balanced ticket assignation more intelligent. It adds skills of the user and its attendance state as conditions relevant for assigning tickets. The module also provides the possibility to add a maximum number of tickets a user can be assigned.

The talk might be interesting for after-sales organizations that manage many agents (users) and customers (tickets).

Odoo provides you with the tools to maximize the knowledge of your employees. This talk focuses on the apps that allow you to empower your employees with advanced knowledge management.

Odoo provides excellent tools to manage all your business cases within some clicks. Over the years, great features have been implemented, and the processes are getting better and more business related. This talk will show you how you can use Odoo as a time management and attendance system with great benefits for your employees and the management based on real customer experience.

We have implemented some additional features to achieve better 360-degree management of the employees' work/attendance/leave time. We ensured that employees had a transparent overview of their work and leave time within one click.

Additionally, we integrated even more features:
- define for each work location public holidays (within the same company)
- define employee break times, which can be recorded
- start and end time for timesheet entries
- overview of current time balance within one click, where time off is included in the overview
- annually cutoff and possibility to close/book end-of-year balances
- and much more!

Managers, consultants, and Odooers looking for a smart timesheet suite will get some insights and ideas on using Odoo as an extended time and attendance management system within any organization.

Are you a trading company in need of offering volume pricing / scale pricing to your customers? Would you like to provide your customers with special prices if their orders amount to a specific quantity / volume? If the answer is yes, then this is your talk!

Standard Odoo pricelists allow you to define different sales prices for one product depending on the quantity you sell of that product. However, sometimes the price of a product does not depend on the quantity you sell of that product, but on the global quantity you sell in a whole sales order. Such a case is not covered by standard Odoo pricelists and that is why you need a specific Volume Pricing / Scale Pricing App.

Example of volume pricing / scale pricing:
- If your order contains 1-100 units of products A & B, the price of A is 10€ and the price of B is 15€.
- If your order contains 101-300 units of products A & B, the price of A is 9.50€ and the price of B is 14.50€.
- If your order contains more than 300 units of products A & B, the price of A is 9.00€ and the price of B is 14.00€.

Therefore, if your order contains 60 units of product A and 250 units of Product B, in total the order contains 310 units and thus, the prices applied are 9.00€ and 14.00€ respectively.

What does our app offer? It allows you to create scale pricing lists, which allows you to define the specific scale prices that a given customer has for a given set of products, defining for each product a specific validity period.


Key learnings:
- What is volume pricing / scale pricing?
- Limitations of standard pricelists
- Scale pricing app


Value to the audience:
- Managing volume pricing / scale pricing in any Odoo flavour (Community and Enterprise).


Target audience:
- Trading companies
- Companies wanting to boost their sales by offering scale prices
- Companies with complex pricing schemes

We can consider a document "audit-proof" if its content cannot be lost or modified once it is created.

Some countries, such as Germany [1], have rules which require some documents to be tracked in order to ensure, among others requirements, that they have not been modified.

We have developed a module which adds this functionality to Odoo.
- It gives a quick overview of the status of the files.
- It allows to select the models whose files will be audited by the company.
- It contain reports with information of the integrity of the files.

Key learnings:
We will introduce a module which implements audit-proof in Odoo, including examples, in order to show its potential.

Value to the audience:
You will learn what our module can do in order to use it in your Odoo (or to offer it to your customers in case of an Odoo partner) and forget about this topic.

Target audience:
Any people whose project is based on countries that require to audit the files in order to guarantee they follow the standards.

Braintec-group implemented a customised portal solution to digitally submit applications for the promotion of photovoltaic plants. Pronovo AG is a medium-size company responsible for processing and compensating of around 30000 subsidy applications of sustainable electricity producers per year. Therefore Pronovo AG is one of the key players in order to transform Switzerland into a sustainable, CO2 neutral country.

The Frontend part provides solutions for:
- User Registration and Management
- Dynamic Application Form for the subsidy
- Case form tempates in order to save time during the application

The Backend part provides solutions for:
- A rule based workflow engine to manage the applications
- Validation of the passed data including automated validation and integrated approval processes
- Integration of required third party system interfaces
- The administration of the dynamic application form
- The extended administration for portal users and and their roles
- Automated e-mails depending on the workflow of a case

With Odoo Pronovo AG is now way more efficient while processing and managing these applications.

Many companies buy products in one unit of measure, for example in kg. Then processes them internally and sells the product again but with a different unit of measure e.g. in packs of 15 kg. For that reason, the braintec-group has developed a sub-module to easily let users set different unit measures for the different parts of the trade process.

This talk shows the path of the products in a trading environment and how they can change from when they’re purchased to when they are sold. This presentation is targeted to users who want to customize Odoo to have a second unit of measurement in different parts of the purchase-sale process.

During the talk, the standalone sub-module features will be explained. Then some examples of real situations will be shown demonstrating how the sub-module has been customized to different clients' needs.

The current budgeting tool offered in Odoo Enterprise is rather limited and it is not integrated with financial reports such as Profit & Loss. Furthermore, the task of forecasting based on a budget or a previous forecast is not something enabled in a standard Odoo solution. For these reasons, brain-tec group decided to develop the "Financial Plans" app. This talk will cover the functions and capabilities of this app and is targeted to finance advisors and account managers.

As Odoo continues to become a powerful ERP, we’re faced with many customer requests to include Odoo in their Supply Chains using EDI*. In this talk we will give a brief overview how the EDI flow works in general based on message types.

We will demonstrate a use case and how the system is implemented including proper error handling. The target audience for this talk is all companies using Odoo and have the need to implement complex supply chains with multiple parties, following industrial standards.

The value to the audience is given in an overview of how processes can be handled and automated, as well as discussing technical and functional questions, as the head developer will lead the technical part of the presentation. The structure of the talk will be a quick presentation followed by a live demo.

*EDI is a quite vague word for a connection between many parties, so we need to specify that we focused on the GS1 XML 3.4 Standard.

Odoo offers from the core an LDAP integration. This integration is very helpful in LDAP based environments to manage users in a central place. Our App extends the functionality with clean group integrations so that LDAP OU’s can match user groups in Odoo and the group participation can be managed centrally. All transactions are logged "in a clean way" and users can be deactivated as well inside LDAP.

Watch this talk to find out how to manage user roles in bigger IT environments and see a real use case (500 Employees and a very frequent change of users). Target audience: End Users / Administrators / Integration Partners (no technical background needed).
