Technical limitation

Important – Odoo integration constraintsCustomisations made at the end-customer level in Odoo are not taken into account by the connector.It is also important to note that the end-customer did not introduce additional business constraints or modifications that deviate from the standard Odoo data model through integration customizations, as this can conflict with the standard behavior and potentially break or block the connector.If there is a specific business requirement, it should first be validated whether it is supported natively by Odoo or whether a product-level adjustment is required before implementing any workaround.
