Odoo Customisation
Make Odoo fit your process - without making upgrades impossible.
Odoo Customisation in Australia: the short answer
- What it is
- Odoo customisation in Australia: Studio configuration, custom modules, report design and workflow automation, built to stay upgrade-safe.
- Best suited to
- Companies in Australia that want a fixed price and a date, delivered by named consultants rather than a ticket queue.
- Typical timeline
- A focused single-app rollout for a small team goes live in three to six weeks. A multi-app deployment with data migration and integrations usually runs eight to sixteen weeks.
- What it costs
- Implementation is quoted as a fixed price in AUD after a free 30-minute discovery call, and depends on the number of apps, the state of your data and the integrations you need. Odoo bills its software licence separately, per user and per app.
- Local specifics
- 10% GST returns lodged to the ATO as a Business Activity Statement. Single Touch Payroll reporting, PAYG withholding and superannuation guarantee. Taxable Payments Annual Reporting for building and construction subcontractors.
- Delivered by

Odoo Customisation in Australia
Shyphan is an Official Odoo Partner delivering Odoo Customisation to businesses across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute discovery call and a written summary, and turns into a fixed-scope statement of work with dates before anyone starts building.
What makes an Australian Odoo project different from a generic one is the regulatory detail. 10% GST returns lodged to the ATO as a Business Activity Statement; Single Touch Payroll reporting, PAYG withholding and superannuation guarantee; and Taxable Payments Annual Reporting for building and construction subcontractors. All of it has to be right in the system rather than corrected in a spreadsheet afterwards, and that is where a partner who works in this market every week earns their fee.
You own the outcome: your database, your data and any code we write, documented and handed over. Delivery is in English on Australian time (AEST/AEDT), Monday to Friday, with named consultants rather than a ticket queue.
What you get
Configured, localised and supported for Australia by Shyphan.
Studio Configuration
Fields, views, automated actions, approvals and PDF reports configured as data, which upgrades safely.
Custom Modules
Where configuration genuinely cannot do it, a properly structured module with tests and documentation.
Report & Document Design
Branded quotations, invoices, delivery notes and certificates that match your house style.
Workflow Automation
Approval chains, escalations, scheduled actions and notifications that remove manual chasing.
Access & Record Rules
Field-level and record-level security so people see exactly what they should.
Upgrade Safety
We keep the customisation surface small on purpose, and test every upgrade on staging first.
Testing
Automated tests on custom logic so a later change does not break it quietly.
Documentation
What was built, why, and how to change it - written down and handed over.
Honest Scoping
We tell you when a request is not worth the money it would cost to build.
What you get
- Configuration before code - cheaper to build and far cheaper to maintain.
- Upgrades stay possible - a small, deliberate customisation surface.
- You own the code - repository access and documentation from day one.
- Tested - custom logic covered so a later release does not break it silently.
- Scoped honestly - including the requests we advise you not to build.

Odoo Employees in AustraliaWhere this service is weak - and what we do about it
No implementation partner can fix a process nobody owns internally. Projects fail on unowned data cleansing, scope that grows without being re-priced, and training cut to hit a date - not on the software.
How we handle it: We name those three as risks in the proposal, and ask you to nominate an internal owner before we start.

What compliance in Australia means in practice
Australian compliance is unusually real-time. Payroll is reported to the ATO on or before every payday rather than at year end, and GST rides on the same Business Activity Statement as PAYG withholding, so a system that gets the tax codes wrong gets three things wrong at once.
| Obligation | What the rule is | What has to be configured |
|---|---|---|
| GST and the Business Activity Statement | GST is 10 per cent. Registration is compulsory once turnover reaches 75,000 dollars (150,000 for non-profits). The BAS reports GST, PAYG withholding and PAYG instalments together, monthly, quarterly or annually depending on your turnover. | Tax codes that distinguish GST-free, input-taxed and out-of-scope supplies, because the difference between them is what makes G11 and G14 on the BAS come out right. |
| Single Touch Payroll | Every pay run is reported to the ATO on or before payday, at the level of detail STP Phase 2 requires: disaggregated gross, income types, and country codes where they apply. | Pay categories mapped to STP Phase 2 classifications at setup, not re-mapped in the first EOFY when the numbers do not reconcile. |
| Superannuation guarantee | The superannuation guarantee rate is 12 per cent of ordinary time earnings, and under Payday Super it is paid at the same time as salary rather than quarterly in arrears. | Ordinary time earnings calculated per pay element, fund and member details held against the employee, and a payment file the clearing house accepts. |
| Taxable Payments Annual Report | Businesses in building and construction, cleaning, courier and road freight, IT and security services report payments to contractors on a TPAR, due 28 August. | Contractor payments tagged at entry with ABN and the amounts the TPAR asks for, so August is an export. |
| Company tax and franking | 25 per cent for base rate entities, 30 per cent otherwise, with the franking account tracked against dividends paid. | A franking account maintained in the ledger rather than reconstructed by the accountant each year. |
| Fair Work and record keeping | Employee records and pay slips must be kept for seven years, and pay slips issued within one working day of payday. | Pay slips generated and archived by the system, with award interpretation reflected in the pay rules rather than applied manually. |

We configure the system to produce what these returns ask for, and we test it against your own transactions before go-live. We are not tax agents: your accountant or tax adviser signs the return, and rates and thresholds change, so treat this as the shape of the work rather than advice. Last reviewed 15 September 2026.
