Odoo Planning: what it does, and what’s new in 20
Odoo Planning is shift and resource scheduling: roles, availability and recurring templates produce a published schedule employees see in their portal, with open shifts they can claim.
It closes the loop with Timesheets and Payroll, so planned versus worked hours is a report rather than a reconciliation.
