  • Credentials for preproduction and production environments are different. Make sure to update them on Odoo when you move from one environment to another.

  • If not done yet, fill out your company details with your company’s full address, country, and Tax ID.

ETA codes

E-invoicing works with a set of codes provided by the ETA. You can use the ETA documentation to code your business attributes.

Most of these codes are handled automatically by Odoo, provided that your branches, customers, and products are correctly configured.

  • Company Information:

    • Company Tax ID

    • Branch ID
      If you have only one branch, use 0 as the branch code.

    • Activity type Code

  • Overige informatie:

    • Product Codes
      Your company’s products should be coded and matched with their GS1 or EGS codes.
    • Tax Codes
      Most of the taxes codes are already configured on Odoo in the ETA Code (Egypt) field. We advise you to make sure these codes match your company’s taxes.
