Odoo releases a new major version every year. Odoo 20 will be officially announced at Odoo Experience 2026 (September 24–26, Brussels Expo), with Community and Enterprise upgrade packages following within weeks.
What Is Odoo 20?
Odoo 20 is the next major release of the world's most popular open-source ERP. The defining theme: AI embedded as core infrastructure — not an add-on, but built into the foundation of every module.
Key Areas of Change
- AI across all modules — accounting audits, content generation, helpdesk, timesheets, CRM leads
- Rebuilt mobile app — touch-optimized, offline-capable, digital signatures
- JSON-2 API — replaces XML-RPC (important for integrations)
- Owl 3 — new JavaScript framework for performance improvements
- Unified offline support — mobile app and POS work without internet
- Industry-specific solutions — Hotel+, Construction, Real Estate, Recruitment
- Field Service + Planning merger — unified resource management
- E-Signature — legally valid in 30+ countries
- PDF report editor — browser-based with live preview
Should You Wait for Odoo 20?
If you're on Odoo 18 or earlier, don't wait. Upgrade to Odoo 19 now — the architecture is forward-compatible and migration to 20 will be straightforward when the time comes.
If you're already on Odoo 19, plan your migration for early 2027 — after the stable release settles.
We'll cover each major Odoo 20 feature in detail in the coming posts.
