One record for purchasing, stock and accounting

Diego Muñoz implements Odoo with your chart of accounts and Peruvian localisation. Before configuring anything he measures how a purchase is recorded today, and each stage goes live only once your team signs it off.

The problem

Three systems record the same purchase

Each department records the same thing in a different system, and the month-end close is reconciled by hand.

Paper spreadsheets with handwritten corrections
Three records

Today: spreadsheets, accounting software and email

  • Purchasing builds the order in Excel
  • The warehouse writes the receipt in a notebook
  • Accounting keys in the invoice again
  • Project cost is worked out at month end
One record

With Odoo: one record that moves forward

  • The order starts from the approved request
  • Confirming the receipt updates stock
  • The vendor bill is matched to the order
  • Every cost carries its project analytic account
The cost of staying as you are

What double entry costs you today

Enter how many people key purchases or invoices into more than one system. The result is yours: Diego uses it as the first baseline in the assessment.

Example values: replace them with yours.

The estimate shows what the manual task costs today. It is not a savings promise.

The DMG-RT method applied to an ERP

Every Odoo module comes in with a measured indicator

DMG-RT is Diego's working method. In an ERP project the process is measured first, then designed, then configured in two-week fronts.

  1. F1

    Assessment

    A walk through purchasing, stock and month-end close with the people who do it, plus a review of the current system: which data is usable and what is recorded outside it.

    Deliverable Findings letter and preliminary baseline, in 15 working days

  2. F2

    Design

    Target process, Odoo modules and chart of accounts. Each front carries one indicator: days to close, inventory accuracy or unit purchase cost.

    Deliverable Baseline signed off by your finance team

  3. F3

    Implementation and control

    Two-week cycles in a test environment. Your team runs the system from the first go-live and the indicator is tracked on an Odoo dashboard.

    Deliverable Solution in production and progress minutes every two weeks

  4. F4

    Stabilisation and handover

    Operating manual per role, technical documentation, and access and licences in your company's name.

    Deliverable Closing record and reviews at 3, 6 and 12 months

A fixed fee per phase, agreed before each one starts. See the full method

Three record layers reconciled into one
Your accountant and your current system

Your accountant stays on the project and your data arrives reconciled

Odoo removes double entry. Accounting judgement stays with your accountant, who reviews the chart of accounts and opening balances before cut-over.

Accounting report with charts and a pen

What you provide

  • Current chart of accounts and balances at the last month end
  • Products, vendors and customers in Excel or exported from your system
  • One key user per department, with hours set aside for the project
  • Access for your accountant to reconcile opening balances

What you get

  • Odoo configured with SUNAT e-invoicing and PLE books
  • Master data and balances migrated and reconciled with your accountant
  • Role-based training with your own data
  • A dashboard with each front's indicator and an operating manual
Systems in the project

The systems that go into an ERP project

Each page explains what the system solves, what it needs and how to choose it.

Odoo as a product: versions, licences and modules

When it fits

  • Purchasing, stock and accounting record the same thing in different places
  • Month-end close depends on reconciling spreadsheets by hand
  • You need SUNAT and PLE from the same system that records operations

When it does not fit yet

Who implements it

Diego Muñoz leads every implementation

Diego is a process and technology consultant based in Lima. He implements Odoo versions 17 to 20 with Peruvian localisation and designs systems architecture with TOGAF.

In an ERP project he sits in the design meetings, reviews every configuration in the test environment and runs the indicator review with your team every two weeks.

He measures before configuring because the benefit of an ERP is calculated against a baseline. Without one there is no way to tell whether the close or the inventory improved.

Frequently asked questions

Licences, data and timelines in an Odoo project

It depends on the modules you need. It is settled during design, with licence costs in writing before work starts.

Yes. Your accountant gets access to Odoo, reviews the chart of accounts during design and reconciles the opening balances with Diego.

It is reviewed during the assessment. If it still works, it is connected to Odoo; if it is replaced, master data and balances are migrated on a cut-over date agreed with your accountant.

It is cleaned and imported: products, vendors, customers and balances. You review a sample before the final load.

The assessment takes 15 working days. Implementation runs in two-week cycles, and the number of cycles is set during design based on which processes go first.

A fixed fee per phase, agreed before each one starts. Odoo licences are contracted in your company's name.

Yes. On the 30-minute assessment call Diego shows you the purchase, stock and invoice cycle in the demo instance.

Review your purchasing cycle with Diego before choosing modules

In 30 minutes you go through how a purchase is recorded in your company today, where it is duplicated and which indicator to measure first.
