Odoo versions and editions (Community vs Enterprise)

How to choose the Odoo version and edition when creating a project, and what Enterprise edition requires.

Choosing an Odoo version

When you create a project, the Version field sets which Odoo version the project runs. You can pick any major version from 11.0 upward, including the most recent releases and their intermediate versions, as well as master (the in-development branch). All instances of the project use this version.

Community vs Enterprise

The Edition field offers two choices:

  • Community (Open Source): the default. Odoo Community is open source and needs no special access.
  • Enterprise: Odoo's commercial edition. Its source code lives in private repositories owned by Odoo, so extra requirements apply (see below).

What Enterprise edition requires

Two things are needed to select Enterprise:

  1. A Pro plan or higher. On plans without Enterprise support the option is disabled and labeled "Pro plan required". Current prices are on the pricing page at cicdoo.com; upgrade under Settings, Billing tab.
  2. A GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with access to the Odoo Enterprise repositories. Because those repositories are private, CICDoo needs a token from a GitHub account that Odoo has granted access to (typically through an Odoo Enterprise subscription or partnership). When you select Enterprise in the form, a notice appears showing your current PAT status.

If you connect GitHub with a PAT instead of the OAuth flow, create the token in your GitHub settings with the repo and read:user scopes; the project form links you to the right GitHub page.

Steps

  1. Open Projects and click to create a new project (or use the onboarding wizard).
  2. Connect your Git provider (GitHub or GitLab) if you have not already.
  3. Fill in the project name and choose New Project or Existing Project.
  4. Pick the Version.
  5. Pick the Edition. If you choose Enterprise, make sure your GitHub PAT with Odoo Enterprise access is configured.
  6. Assign at least a production server, see Production, staging and development stages, then click Create Project.
