Odoo Project: what it does, and what’s new in 20
Odoo Project plans and bills work: tasks and milestones feed timesheets, and billing policies (fixed, time & materials, milestones) connect delivery directly to invoicing.
For services firms the profitability report per project — hours, costs, invoiced — is the headline feature; it is only as good as the timesheet discipline the setup encourages.
