Business Letter
Write and send professional business letters from Odoo
Create, preview, print, and email professional business letters directly inside Odoo. Letters are rendered using the document layout with proper address placement, company header, and footer — ready to print or send as PDF attachment.
Document Format
Letters are printed in Document layout: correct address window positioning, company information block, page numbers, and a professional footer with company & bank details.
Send by Email
Send letters directly by email with the PDF automatically attached. Uses Odoo's mail composer with a translated email template. Letters are automatically marked as “Sent” after emailing.
Live Preview
See a live preview of your letter directly in the form view. Shows the recipient address, document information, letter body, closing, and optional signature line — exactly as it will appear on the printed PDF.
Rich Text Editor
Write your letter body using Odoo's built-in HTML editor with formatting, tables, images, and more. No need for external word processors.
Closing Templates
Choose from pre-defined closing phrases like “Kind regards”, “Best regards”, or create your own. Each user can set a personal default closing in their preferences. Manage templates under Letters → Configuration.
Signature Line
Optionally add a signature line with “Place, Date” and “Signature” below the closing — perfect for contracts or formal correspondence that requires a physical signature.
Automatic Numbering
Each letter gets a unique reference number (e.g. BL/2026/0001) via an automatic sequence. Full chatter integration with automatic PDF attachment when marking as sent.
Multi-Language
Fully translated into German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (BR), and Dutch.
How It Works
- Go to Letters → Business Letters
- Click New and select a recipient
- Enter the subject and write the letter body
- Choose a closing template (or create your own)
- Click View PDF to preview, or Send by Email to send with PDF attached
Per-User Default Closing
Each user can set their own default closing template in Settings → Users → Preferences. New letters will automatically use the selected closing. If not set, “Kind regards” is used as the default.
