Odoo for a group trading across several Gulf countries.

Company per entity

A separate company per legal entity, each with its own chart of accounts, currency and tax configuration, inside one Odoo database.

VAT per jurisdiction

VAT configured per jurisdiction, reflecting the different rates and treatments across the GCC states rather than one generic tax.

E-invoicing per country

E-invoicing per country, with ZATCA for Saudi entities and the UAE requirement handled on its own timeline.

Intercompany rules

Intercompany rules so a sale from one group company to another creates the matching purchase automatically and eliminates on consolidation.

Shared master data

Shared product, partner and pricing master data across companies where it should be shared, and separated where it should not.

Group consolidation

Consolidated group reporting across entities in a single reporting currency, with drill down to the originating company.

Can one Odoo database handle several countries?

Yes. Multi company is native: each legal entity is a company with its own accounts, currency and tax setup, sharing master data where that makes sense.

How do intercompany transactions work?

Configured so a sale from one group company to another automatically creates the matching purchase in the counterparty, which keeps both sets of books correct and lets the transaction eliminate on consolidation.

How is e-invoicing handled when countries differ?

Per company. Saudi entities are configured for ZATCA, UAE entities for the UAE requirement, and entities in states without a mandate stay clean until one arrives.
