Odoo 19: new features, migration and support
Released in September 2025, Odoo 19 is now the version before Odoo 20. It is also the one you most often meet in production.
This page details what Odoo 19 brought, application by application: artificial intelligence, accounting, sales, purchase, inventory, manufacturing, human resources, ESG, website, point of sale and project. It then covers its support status depending on your hosting and what to anticipate before moving to Odoo 20.
Where does Odoo 19 stand on support?
Short answer: Odoo 19 is supported. The publisher provides three years of standard support after release, which runs until September 2028 according to its planned schedule. Nothing forces you to migrate this year.
Since the release of Odoo 20, Odoo 19 is the previous version. It still receives its fixes. It remains the most widely deployed version and therefore the best known to integrators, third-party module publishers and in-house teams.
The point to watch is the three-version rule: with each new major version, the oldest of the three leaves support. When that day comes, what happens next depends on your hosting. On Odoo.sh, the platform requires a supported version: the migration goes into the calendar. On a dedicated server, the database keeps running without new security fixes; the risk depends on how exposed the instance is and on how sensitive the data is. In both cases, better to choose the migration date than to have it forced on you.

What breaking points before moving to Odoo 20?
Upgrading from Odoo 19 to Odoo 20 is a single version jump, the simplest possible. It still requires precise checks, which our comparison of the source code of the two versions lets us target:
- Access rights: record rules disappear in favour of a domain carried by the access right itself, which affects any company that manages its rights in fine detail.
- Printed documents: a new print engine coexists with the old one and the watermark or background image option on reports disappears with no replacement.
- Field service: the Field Service app is discontinued, its features move into Planning, with organisation and training to be reviewed.
- Human resources: work entries and the Planning-Payroll integration disappear, work entry types and time off types merge, remote work and the org chart join the core of the Employees app.
- Project: the dashboard profitability report gives way to dedicated budget and margin reports.
- Delivery: the dedicated Mondial Relay modules disappear, pickup points go through the Sendcloud connector.
- French payroll: the French payroll modules are not present in the Odoo 20 Enterprise sources we analysed. A point to check before any migration if your business depends on it.
Custom modules and third-party modules come on top of this list: each must be ported or replaced. The full detail is on the Odoo 20 page.
Should you migrate from Odoo 19 now?
It depends on your situation, not on a universal timetable.
Staying on Odoo 19 is reasonable if
- your operations are stable and the version covers your needs;
- your custom or third-party modules are not yet available for Odoo 20;
- it is a busy period for your teams (year-end closing, stocktaking, peak season).
Plan the migration now if
- you are waiting for a feature specific to Odoo 20;
- you are on Odoo.sh and want to stay within the support window without time pressure;
- you prefer a single version jump to several later on.
You are coming from Odoo 18, 17 or 16
From Odoo 18, a single jump is enough. From Odoo 17 or 16, the jumps follow one another version by version on the data, each tested on a copy of the database. For a project starting now, we compare Odoo 19 and Odoo 20 against your module list: 19 has more track record and more third-party modules, 20 the longest support period. Our method is described on the Odoo migration page.
Frequently asked questions about Odoo 19
Yes. The publisher supports the three latest major versions: Odoo 20, Odoo 19 and Odoo 18. Released in September 2025, Odoo 19 gets three years of standard support, until September 2028 according to the publisher's planned schedule.
No. Odoo 20 was released in September 2026. Odoo 19 remains a solid version for production and the most widely deployed, but it is no longer the latest.
It depends on your hosting. On Odoo.sh, the platform requires a supported version: the migration is unavoidable and is planned ahead. On a dedicated server, the database keeps running without new security fixes; the risk depends on how exposed the instance is and on how sensitive the data is. We advise planning the migration rather than having it forced on you.
Artificial intelligence in every application (agents, AI fields, natural-language search), the new ESG app, the guided VAT return, packagings merged with units of measure, the versioned employee record and project and task templates.
Yes, with a migration prepared on a copy of the database, tested and then replayed at the time of the switch. The downtime depends on the data volume and on custom developments.
Not automatically. Each module must be reviewed, tested and adapted. Changes to access rights, printing and field service are the most common causes.
