International
For companies with sites, entities or teams in more than one country. Where your data lives and who can reach it quickly and legally, how to connect a foreign ledger to Odoo or book in it directly, what a fiscal localisation does and does not cover, and the honest trade-offs that only start to bite once you cross a border.
Adding a Dutch entity to your ERP: what changes, by country of origin
What changes when a foreign group adds a Dutch entity: BV or branch, the Dutch VAT return and the ICP declaration, the article 23 import deferment you cannot apply for yourself, the chart of accounts, filing, payroll and e-invoicing. Plus what specifically catches out teams coming from the UK, Germany, Belgium, France, the US and China, and what each of those does to the ERP you already run.
International accounting with Odoo: one group, multiple countries, and the Chinese ledger (l10n_cn, fapiao, Golden Tax)
A foreign entity raises one question: does that country's accounting run in Odoo, or do you keep it local and connect it to the group? Multi-company, fiscal localisation, bank connections and consolidation, with the Chinese ledger worked out in full: what l10n_cn covers, how fapiao and Golden Tax fit in, and where OCA modules step in.
Odoo hosting and data residency for international companies: Europe, Singapore or China?
For an international company the big hosting question is where your data lives and who can reach it quickly and legally. Odoo.sh offers 7 fixed regions, none in China. This is how you choose between Europe, Singapore or Mumbai and self-hosting, including when self-hosting inside China is the only route.
