Configuration vs Customization vs Development

Overview

Not all changes in Odoo are equal. Understanding the difference between configuration, customization, and development is critical to long-term system stability.

Definitions

• Configuration: Using native settings and features
• Customization: Minor UI or behavior adjustments using supported tools
• Custom Development: Writing or modifying code to extend Odoo behavior

Key Principle

If a requirement cannot be met without code, it is custom development.
