German compliance
GoBD and DATEV: Odoo for German companies
Anyone keeping books in Germany must keep them traceable, complete and unalterable. Odoo brings the foundations for that, provided it is set up properly. That is exactly what we do.
What matters
Four points we go through with you
Unalterability
Posted documents can no longer be quietly changed. Corrections run through reversals and stay visible.
Traceability
Who posted what and when is in the log. Every entry leads back to its document.
Retention
Documents sit digitally on the transaction instead of in a folder. Access remains possible throughout the statutory periods.
Handover to DATEV
Entries and master data can be exported for your tax adviser, so both sides work with the same figures.
What nobody can take off your hands
The process documentation
The GoBD require a description of your processes: how documents enter the system, who checks them, how corrections are handled. That documentation belongs to your company, not to the software. We supply the technical description of the processes we set up, which you and your tax adviser can take into your process documentation.
Said plainly: No software is GoBD compliant in itself, Odoo included. Compliance comes from the operation as a whole, meaning setup, processes and documentation together. The final assessment is your tax adviser's. We do not provide tax or legal advice.
