Define/edit account information
After installing the accounting and financial modules, the system will have its own accounts. This account list is the smallest account we chose when creating account sets. We need to modify it to a list of accounts that meet the requirements of this case. The accounting accounts required in this case include: accounts receivable, accounts payable, in-transit materials , inventory goods , bank deposits, main business income, main business cost and other. The following are the accounting subjects. The path is "Accounting" menu bar → "Settings" → "Accounts".
Edit the account Debtors to "Accounts Receivable". "Accounts Receivable" is configured in customer information, used for the debit when customer invoice approval and the credit for the sales collection, and then click Save.
Similarly, the Creditors, Product sales, Expense, and Cost of Goods Sold in the account are modified to "Accounts Payable", "Main Business Income", "Transported Materials", and "Main Business Cost".
1) "Accounts payable" is configured in supplier information and is used for the creditor when supplier invoice approval and the debitor for procurement payments.
2) "Main business income" can be set in both product and product types, and the former has a priority greater than the latter. Used for credits at the time of customer invoice approval.
3) "In-transit materials" can be set in both products and product types, and the former has a priority greater than the latter. Used as a creditor at the time of invoice and a debit at the time of approving supplier invoices.
4) "Main business cost" can be set in both products and product types, and the priority of the former is greater than the latter. Used for debit when outbound. Create a new account "Inventory Product". Set in product categories, for debits to be in and credits to be out of stock.

In Odoo, the customer and the supplier are in the same settings screen.There are several ways to create new customers and suppliers: 1) customer, sales-sale-sale-customer 2) purchase-purchase-purchase-suppliers 3) accounting-customer-customer 4) accounting-super-suppliers

The path to configuration of product information is: Sales → Product → Products, Procurement → Products → Products, Warehouse → Products → Products.
Set product unit information

You can see that "piece" is a reference unit of measurement for the unit category of "single piece". Return to the previous page, click "Tap" line to view specific information. It can be seen that "tap" is a product unit of measurement larger than "piece", with a ratio of 12.000000000048 and an accuracy of 0.01. That is to say, 12.00 pieces = 1 beat. Now we have to change it to what we need and click Edit. The basic unit of the unit category of "single-piece" is "PCE", while the "box" is greater than "PCE", and 1 box = 50PCE, the accuracy remains unchanged. Click to enter the page of "Piece". Change the name of the unit of measurement to "PCE" and click the "Save" button to save the change.
