Techdata OCR
AI-powered OCR for Odoo 19 — An OCR alternative to Odoo IAP
Overview
Techdata OCR integrates PaddleOCR-VL (a multilingual vision-language model) as an alternative OCR provider in Odoo 19. It processes vendor invoices, expense reports, and purchase orders — extracting vendor details, amounts, dates, tax lines, and line items with high accuracy.
It sits alongside Odoo's native IAP digitisation: the user picks the active provider in Settings → Accounting → OCR Provider. No configuration beyond the initial registration is required.
Key features
📄 Full document coverage
Vendor invoices and expense receipts. Extracts vendor name, VAT, IBAN, invoice number, date, due date, totals, tax amounts, currency, and individual line items.
🔁 OCR Reconciliation wizard
When a vendor or product cannot be matched automatically, a wizard lets the user match, create, or skip — and the module learns for next time.
🧠 Product memory
Confirmed product-line matches are stored per-vendor and reused automatically on future scans (configurable in Accounting → Configuration → OCR Product Mappings).
🔐 Secure JWT authentication
Access tokens (15 min) and refresh tokens (7 days) rotate automatically.
Credentials are stored in Odoo's ir.config_parameter, never in source code.
💳 Token-based pricing
Purchase scan packs directly from the settings page via Stripe Checkout. Token balance is displayed in real-time and topped up instantly after payment.
🌍 Multilingual
PaddleOCR-VL handles French and English documents natively. UI ships in English with a full French translation catalogue included.
How it works
- Install the module — your Odoo instance registers automatically with the OCR server
and receives a
client_idplus free starter tokens. - Go to Settings → Accounting and set OCR Provider to Techdata OCR.
- Open any vendor invoice and click Send for digitisation (or let Odoo trigger it automatically on email reception).
- Fields are filled in seconds. A yellow OCR Reconciliation button appears if any vendor or product needs manual confirmation.
