Technical limitations

Important – Odoo integration constraintsThe connector does not take into account customisations made at the end-customer level in Odoo.Make sure the end-customer has not introduced additional business constraints or modifications that deviate from the standard Odoo data model. Such customizations can conflict with the standard behavior and potentially break or block the connector.For any specific business requirement, first validate whether Odoo supports it natively or whether a product-level adjustment is required before implementing a workaround.
