Typically, activities within an implementation process require hours for: Requirement gathering or gap analysis, deployment of Odoo instances in the cloud, configurations and developments, technical validation testing for software quality, functional testing, training for key users, documentation of delivered requirements, functional/technical support once the system is in production. There could be additional topics depending on the complexity of the project, such as organizational change management, performance analysis in infrastructure, advanced consulting for audits, among others.

In the implementation of an ERP system, the client plays an essential role in the team. They participate from the planning and scope definition, risk identification and evaluation, to requirement gathering and approval, and most importantly, in change management within their organization. The latter role is best executed by an internal team of the client who can prepare the ground for handling the change that a new management system and a new way of operating processes entail.

The change control process is vital for any project, and ERP implementation is no exception. There should be a clear process in place for handling new requirements that result in a change in scope. Documentation, impact assessment, planning, change approval, execution, and closure are the basic steps in such scenarios. Having a system in place that provides visibility into all of these steps is equally important."

t's commonly agreed among Odoo implementers that the out-of-the-box tool can cover around 70% to 80% of a business's requirements, provided there is flexibility on the client's side to align with Odoo's predefined workflows.

The start and response time is tied to the priority of the ticket.

• Priority 3: 12 business hours (Problem or error that doesn't halt essential operations or cause backlog). 
• Priority 4: 24 business hours (New features, training, or other requests)."

An initiative refers to potential customers who come to us with a specific need, but it doesn't necessarily mean they are interested in engaging in a conversation with a salesperson. On the other hand, an opportunity is categorized as a contact in the system with some information, a specific interest, and other characteristics that lead them directly to the sales process.

Odoo can manage an unlimited number of warehouses; it all depends on the logistical approach the user follows.

Inventory replenishment rules in Odoo allow you to specify the minimum and maximum quantity expected for a product in a specific location.
