Odoo Upgrade Check for companies on Odoo 14 to 19

Ready for Odoo 20?

Odoo 20 has been available since 24 September 2026. Before you upgrade, you should know what will break in your system, what it will cost and whether an upgrade is the right path at all. The KAPEO Upgrade Check gives you a clear answer within a few days: upgrade, clean up or rebuild.

Upgrade from Odoo 16 to Odoo 20 – KAPEO Solutions

Why now

Three reasons not to put this off until next year

Odoo 20 is here

Since 24 September 2026: AI agents in automations, MCP connectivity, offline mode and a reworked payroll without work entries. Field Service is no longer a separate module but part of Planning. If you are on 16 or 17 today, you are now three to four versions behind.

Older versions are running out

Odoo gives every major version three years of standard support with bug fixes and security updates. According to Odoo's support table, this ends for Odoo 17 in September 2026; after that, only paid extended support is available.

Mandatory e-invoicing is coming

From 1 January 2027, companies with more than €800,000 in prior-year revenue must send e-invoices as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, and from 2028 everyone must. Odoo has supported this for several versions, and via Peppol since Odoo 17. Whether your configuration actually does it is something we clarify in the check.

Are you on Odoo Online? Then you will be migrated automatically. The question is not whether you upgrade, but whether your setup still works the way your team needs it afterwards. That's what the post-upgrade review is for, see below.

The real problem

An upgrade is rarely the problem. The problem is everything nobody keeps track of anymore.

The custom module from 2021 that a freelancer built back then. The interface to the online shop. The report accounting needs every month. Access rights that have grown over the years. The third-party app that isn't available for Odoo 20 yet.

Exactly these things decide whether an upgrade takes two days or two months. And whether it's worth it at all: for a system with many customisations across several versions, a clean rebuild is often cheaper and more stable than an upgrade in four steps. The Upgrade Check answers this question before you spend money.

Want to check it yourself first? Our free checklist “10 things to check before you upgrade to Odoo 20” walks through exactly the points we also check in the Upgrade Check.

What you get

A report you can use even without us

At the end of the check you have a written document and a review meeting. No slides, no sales pitch.

The report (5 to 8 pages)

  • Inventory: installed modules, custom developments, third-party apps, interfaces
  • Result of the test upgrade: what runs through, what breaks, what needs to be fixed manually
  • Data quality: duplicates, legacy data and master data that complicate an upgrade
  • E-invoicing: can your version issue XRechnung/ZUGFeRD, and what is missing
  • Upgrade path with risks and a rough effort estimate
  • Recommendation: upgrade, clean up first or rebuild – with reasons

The review meeting (60 minutes)

  • We go through the report together and answer your questions
  • You decide how to proceed, even if the answer is: “Not yet.”
  • The report is yours. You can also hand it to your current partner.

The three levels

Fixed price based on complexity, not gut feeling

We tell you which level fits after a look at your module list. Free of charge, before any quote.

How it works

Four steps, no surprises

Send your module list

In Odoo, go to Apps, set the “Installed” filter, switch to list view and export. Add your version, hosting and number of users – all via the form below.

30-minute call

Free of charge. We tell you which level fits – or whether you don't need a check at all because your setup is uncritical.

Test upgrade and analysis

With a valid Odoo Enterprise contract, we use Odoo's upgrade platform for a test upgrade and evaluate what breaks. For this we need read access or a database backup.

Report, review meeting, decision

You receive the document in advance, then we go through it together in 60 minutes. Afterwards you decide: upgrade with us, rebuild with us, upgrade with your current partner – or nothing for now. The report is yours.

The stop clause. If the test upgrade shows that a deeper analysis is needed, we stop within the agreed time frame, document the status and tell you the effort for the next step. You decide whether we continue. You will never receive an invoice higher than agreed. That is written in the quote, not in the small print.

Why KAPEO

We are the partner who stays after go-live

We are an official Odoo Partner with experience from Odoo 14 to 20, and we have been through upgrades in real companies. The good ones, and the ones where nobody could be reached three weeks after go-live.

That's why our check is a document with a recommendation, not a warm-up for a sales pitch. And that's why there is KAPEO Care: ongoing support with a fixed consulting hour every month, so you are not on your own after the upgrade.

What Odoo 20 brings in detail, and what of it really affects an SME, you can read on our Odoo 20 page.

FAQ

Questions about the Upgrade Check

Do I have to switch partners for this?

No. The check is an independent assessment. You can also hand the report to your current partner.

Do I have to upgrade to Odoo 20 right away?

No. As long as your version is supported, you have time. The check tells you how much – and whether it's worth going straight to 20 or staying on 19.

I'm on Odoo Online. Does this affect me?

Odoo Online is migrated automatically. The post-upgrade review is the right fit for you: after the upgrade we check that everything works and show your team the new features.

I use the Community Edition.

Then there is no test upgrade via Odoo's platform. For Community systems we offer the Upgrade Analysis billed by effort, with the same stop clause.

What if you recommend a rebuild?

Then the report explains why, and what a rebuild costs compared to an upgrade. With many customisations across several versions, this is often the more stable path. The decision stays with you.

What does the upgrade itself cost?

That depends on exactly the points the check clarifies. That's why there is no serious fixed price for it beforehand. After the check you receive a quote with a fixed price or a clear effort range.

How long does the check take?

Usually one to two weeks from access to your system, depending on how quickly the test upgrade runs through.

What do you need from me?

The module list, read access or a database backup, and one person in your company who shows us the most important processes in 30 minutes.

What about the AI features in Odoo 20?

The AI features run on credits that are purchased separately. Whether that is worth it for you is a separate question. We include it in the check if you like.
