In Short
Flexible Timetables and Shifts is an Odoo 19 Extra Tools app (19.0.1.1.12). The tool to plan, share and control employees shifts in a form of weekly timetables. Work schedule. Work shift calendar.
When people set their own hours, "Who is in on Thursday?" should not need a group chat. Flexible Timetables and Shifts lets employees plan shifts on a calendar, share when and where they work, and gives HR a weekly timetable to check plans against real attendance.
Drag periods to create or move shifts, filter the team calendar by employee, department, context, or company, and optionally approve weekly schedules before they become locked. Working contexts (office, remote, site...), printouts, Excel export, reminders, and multi-timezone support keep distributed teams aligned.
Pricing
The current price of Flexible Timetables and Shifts is 98 (one-time purchase for Odoo 19, all-inclusive Odoo Apps Store price).
No additional paid dependencies are required: the price above covers the full functionality out of the box on top of a standard Odoo installation. There are optional add-ons that can extend this app; you can find the details under Package, add-ons, and pricing details.
Perfect for
Flexible teams
Staff who choose their own hours and still need colleagues to know when they are available - without a shared spreadsheet.
HR & managers
Department managers and HR admins who want planned hours, attendance fulfillment, and optional approval before the week starts.
Distributed companies
Multi-company, multi-timezone setups where the same shift board must stay clear across offices and remote workers.

Calendar planning and weekly timetables
Drag shifts, share the board, reuse templates
Employees plan their own shifts for the coming weeks. Peers always see when and where colleagues are available; each person edits only their own schedule. Weekly timetables keep the plan measurable against contract hours.
Work calendar
- Pick a period and a working context to create a shift
- Drag and drop cards to reschedule in seconds
- Filter by employee, department, context, or company
- Full multi-timezone support for distributed teams
- Print a work schedule (up to 31 days) for the office board - layout, size, and logo are configurable
Weekly timetable
- Shifts auto-group Monday - Sunday per employee
- Compare planned time to expected contract hours
- Group by working context (e.g. remote vs office) for clearer control
- Save any week as a template and reuse it later
- Export a timetable as an Excel file to share or print
Approval, attendance, and reminders
Optional workflow, contexts, and HR control
Managers and HR see the plan and the reality. Optionally lock weeks through approval, attach working contexts to attendance, and keep people on track with reminders.
Approval workflow
- Optional states: Planning -> To approve -> Approved
- Employee sends the week; department manager or HR admin approves or refuses
- Followers of the Timetables subtype get state-change notifications
- Once sent or approved, ordinary users cannot edit that week's shifts
- Discuss issues and schedule activities on the timetable chatter
Attendance & reminders
- Built on Odoo Attendance - planned vs real hours and overload on the timetable
- Optional working context on systray or kiosk check-in (office, remote, site...)
- Timetables visible to the employee, their manager, and HR administrators
- Cron reminders to plan next week; hourly alerts when someone is late vs plan

The app allows to configure an unlimited number of working contexts on the Odoo HR configuration page.
One of those contexts should be set as default. Then, it would be entered as the first choice for planned shifts and attendances.
When a user plans shifts, he/she would be asked to introduce a context.
It is possible to turn on context selection also when a user checks in Odoo. Otherwise, default context would be entered to attendances.
Timetable combines shifts and attendances by contexts. In case you have rarely used contexts, mark those as 'Do not show if empty' to avoid too many lines.
Reminders to create timetables are sent for the next week. Configure days of the previous week when to notify employees on the configuration page.
Only employees with the flagged setting "Timetable Notifications" would receive reminders.
To change the reminder email, go to the Odoo technical settings > Email > Templates. Find there 'Timetable for the next week'. You are welcome to introduce any changes to subject or body and to update translations.
Change time of the reminder through the Odoo technical settings > Automation > Scheduled jobs > 'Notify employees to plan working time for the next week'.
Reminders of being late is sent if a user at this particular moment has a planned shift, but he/she has not checked in.
Only employees with the flagged setting "Being Late Notifications" would receive reminders.
To change the reminder email, go to the Odoo technical settings > Email > Templates. Find there 'Timetable: you are late'. You are welcome to introduce any changes to subject or body and to update translations.
Set up frequency of the reminder through the Odoo technical settings > Automation > Scheduled jobs > 'Notify employees of being late'. By default check is done once an hour.
How many hours should be planned for a week is defined per each user individually. Define contract hours on an employee form.
The tool is designed to allow users to plan shifts themselves. The person logs in and sets his/her shifts, so other users could see it. To be able to do that, an account is required. Unfortunately, due to security issues, it would be impossible to give a person such an opportunity without having an account.
According to the current Odoo Apps Store policies:
- Every module bought for version 12.0 and prior gives you access to all versions up to 12.0.
- Starting from version 13.0, every module version should be purchased separately.
- Disregarding the version, purchasing a tool grants you a right to all updates and bug fixes within a major version.
Please note that the faOtools team does not control those policies. For all questions, please contact the Odoo Apps Store representatives directly.
The most straightforward approach is to use the Odoo store's built-in workflow:
1. Open the module's page and click the button Deploy on odoo.sh
2. After that, you will be redirected to the GitHub page. Log in to your account, then click 'Create a new repo' or use an existing one. Please ensure your repository is private. It is not permitted to publish the apps under the OPL-1 license. If necessary, create a new repo for your Odoo.sh project
3. Then, go to odoo.sh and click the Deploy button. In the pop-up window, submit the decision and click 'Continue.' This action will trigger the installation process.
These steps will install the app for your project's production branch. If you want to deploy the apps for other branches or update the module, you should undertake the following actions:
1. Upload the source code for the app from the Odoo store
2. Commit the module to a required GitHub repository. Ensure none of the app folders/files are ignored (i.e., not included in your repo's .gitignore). Repositories are automatically created by odoo.sh and may include some crucial items by default (e.g., /lib). You should upload all module directories, subdirectories, and files without exceptions
3. Deploy a target branch of the odoo.sh project or, if your settings assume that, wait until it is automatically built.
2. Re-start the Odoo server;
3. Turn on developer mode (technical settings);
4. Update the apps' list (the apps' menu);
5. Find the app and push the button 'Activate'/'Install';
6. Follow the guidelines on the app's page if those exist.
Yes, sure. Simultaneously, Odoo automatically adds all dependencies to a cart, so you should exclude previously purchased tools to avoid double payment.
A red/orange warning does not influence the app's features. Regretfully, sometimes our modules do not pass standard automatic tests since the latter assume behavior that conflicts with our app's goals. For example, we change the price calculation, while the standard Odoo module tests compare the final price to a standard algorithm.
So, first of all, please check the deployed database features. Does everything work correctly?
If you still assume that the warning influences real features, please contact us and forward full installation logs and the full list of deployed modules (including core and third-party ones).
No, we only distribute the tools through the official Odoo apps store.
Regretfully, we do not have the technical means to provide individual prices.
No, third-party apps can not be used on Odoo Online. Unfortunately, Odoo SaaS blocks such a possibility.
Yes, our tool requires all modules marked in dependencies to work correctly. The price marked on the app page already includes all necessary dependencies.
The price for our modules is set in euros. The Odoo store converts prices to other currencies according to its internal exchange rate. Thus, the price in US Dollars may change when the exchange rate is updated.
