Odoo Documents: what it does, and what’s new in 20
Odoo Documents is the filing layer: inboxes per workspace, OCR on inbound PDFs, and actions that turn a file into a vendor bill, task or signature request — where paper-handling time actually disappears.
Combined with AI document processing, inbound invoices can land, be read, and become draft bills with no typing; that pipeline is a build we do often.
