Migrate from Sage →Odoo accounting
OHADA accounting, kept by your operations.
Invoice, receipt, bank statement, till, payroll: posted to the right OHADA account with the right tax. The accountant checks.
Sales, purchases, inventory, till, payroll and accounting share partners, products and accounts: one figure everywhere.
6- and 4-column balances, expandable income statement, VAT, BRS, CEL, DGID withholdings, CSS-IPRES, SEN-ETAFI package.
Odoo Online: at the office, at home, on your phone; backed up and upgraded without a version project.
From Sage, Excel or another package: trial balance reconciled account by account before anything is posted.
What accounting kept apart from operations costs you
The same four problems come up at every company we meet — a standalone accounting package, spreadsheets around it, and an accountant who receives everything at month end.
Keying and re-keying
Invoices typed twice, statements ticked by hand, till copied the next day. In Odoo, each operation writes its entry; what remains is checking.
Obligations tracked from memory
VAT, BRS, withholdings, stamp duty, CEL, CSS, IPRES: thirty deadlines a year, with penalties. In Odoo, the calendar generates them and prepares each return.
Cash seen too late
Receivables and payables surface at closing. In Odoo, the bank is reconciled as you go and 360-day ageing is up to date every morning.
A closing that takes weeks
Trial balances redone in Excel, tax package built by hand. In Odoo, trial balances, balance sheet, income statement and OHADA statements come straight out of the database.
Every operation writes its own journal entry
The arrows show which way the data flows: the company's operations on one side, money coming in and going out on the other, everything converges on accounting — which in turn feeds the statements, the tax returns and the dashboards. Nothing is keyed in twice.
Operations
Quotations, orders, invoices and credit notes: the validated invoice posts to 411 and 70, output VAT included.
Order, receipt, vendor bill: three-way matching, inventory valued continuously, BRS withheld at source.
The validated payroll batch posts salaries, contributions and withholdings, company by company.

The DGID forms, filled in by your entries.
Odoo ships a generic tax report. Our add-ons add the Senegalese returns line by line, numbered as on the official forms: you copy computed amounts instead of adding them up by hand.
| Return | Type | Frequency | In Odoo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tax report — output and input VAT, tax by tax | Tax | On demand | Standard Odoo |
| VAT return — DGID form, lines 5 to 110, standard and simplified regimes | Tax | Monthly | Senedoo add-on |
| Payroll withholdings — income tax, TRIMF, CFCE | Tax | Monthly or quarterly | Senedoo add-on |
| 5 % BRS — base and withholding per payee, statement of amounts paid to third parties | Tax | Monthly | Senedoo add-on |
| Withholding on payments to non-residents | Tax | Monthly | Senedoo add-on |
| 1 % stamp duty on cash receipts | Tax | Monthly | Senedoo add-on |
| CSS and IPRES contributions — family benefits, work injury, pension | Social | Monthly or quarterly | Senedoo add-on |
| OHADA financial statements — balance sheet, income statement, taxable profit and tax due; DGID SEN-ETAFI file generated from an Odoo menu | Accounting | Annual | Senedoo add-on |
| Corporate income tax — instalments, minimum tax and final balance | Tax | Instalments and balance | Senedoo add-on |
| VAT pro-rata adjustment — non-deductible share to pay back | Tax | Annual | Senedoo add-on |
| RVM — withholding on dividends and directors' fees | Tax | Quarterly | Senedoo add-on |
| CEL on value added | Tax | Annual | Senedoo add-on |
| CEL on rental value — leased and owned premises | Tax | Annual | Senedoo add-on |

| IPRES staff movements, DASMO or social report | Social | Quarterly and annual | Senedoo add-on |
| Company car tax | Tax | Annual | Senedoo add-on |
Each of these returns is linked to the deadline calendar: the legal date for the period, an e-mail reminder, and the “Prepare the return” button that opens the statement on the right period. Filing remains the company's responsibility; we update the statements with every finance act.
The Senedoo add-on: the deadline calendar, then the statements that fill it in.
The add-on installs in your Odoo the register of thirty Senegalese obligations — tax authority, CSS, IPRES, labour inspectorate — and generates your company's deadlines every month, on the legal dates shifted for public holidays. Each deadline is linked to its statement: one click on “Prepare the return” opens the report on the right period, and the estimated amount comes back into the list. At year end, the OHADA financial statements compute taxable profit and tax due, and the ToolBox fills in the SEN-ETAFI file to upload to the DGID platform.
Still on Sage? The migration is reconciled to the franc, or not posted.
Sage keeps your books; everything else — quotations, inventory, tills, payroll, follow-ups — lives in spreadsheets. Moving to Odoo, you keep your history: the general ledger, chart of accounts and partners are moved over by our migration assistant, and Odoo's trial balance is compared with Sage's, account by account, before anything is validated.

See the method →What we are asked before we start
Does Odoo produce the OHADA balance sheet and income statement?
Yes. Odoo's OHADA localisation ships the revised chart of accounts and the OHADA balance sheet and income statement. Senedoo adds the expandable income statement, the six- and four-column trial balances, the partner trial balance and the 360-day ageing that accountants ask for.
Can our Sage history be migrated?
Yes: general ledger, chart of accounts and partners. Our assistant rebuilds the entries as drafts, then compares Odoo's trial balance with Sage's, overall and account by account. Nothing is posted until both are identical, and every step can be undone.
Are the returns filed automatically?
No: Odoo prepares the amounts, line by line, numbered as on the official form, and the deadline calendar reminds you of every date. Filing on the DGID, CSS or IPRES platform is still done by you or your accounting firm.
What about the year-end tax package?
The OHADA financial statements add-on produces in Odoo the balance sheet, the income statement and the taxable profit calculation — add-backs and deductions are entered in the report — down to the tax due and the next instalment. The ToolBox then fills in the DGID's official SEN-ETAFI template: cover page, balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes, ready for your accountant to review.
Can our chartered accountant work in Odoo?
Yes. They get an accountant access to your database: they consult, reconcile, post year-end entries and export their statements to Excel, without you sending them files.
Do we need a server?
No. Everything runs on Odoo Online, Odoo's cloud edition. Our add-ons are installed as data, with no Python module: your database stays standard and is upgraded like any other.
How long does it take to start?
For one company: two to four weeks, history migration included. Several companies, several currencies or a payroll to take over lengthen the schedule, which we write with you at the assessment meeting.
Move to accounting kept by your operations.
A certified Odoo consultant migrates your history, sets up the OHADA chart and your returns, and trains your team on its own database.
