As we know the localization is the process of adapting our ERP software for use in specific locations. The business rules and regulations differ from country to country and hence the tax computation and use of charts of accounts also differ. Based on the localization package that Odoo provides, this issue can be resolved and Odoo can be used in any country.
Normally at the time of the creation of a database, it will ask the user to mention the country. On choosing the country, the localization package of Odoo for that country will automatically be added. So on installing the accounting, it will follow the accounting properties based on the localization. The taxes, chart of accounts, invoicing, etc. will follow the rules defined in the localization.
Here, let us move on to Spain localization and see the features provided in the Spain localization package. The localization package of Spain will be available in Odoo apps. Search for Spain in apps that will show the associated localization modules.
For Spain localization package includes two modules:
1. Spain-Accounting (PGCE 2008) [l10n_es] : This module defines the chart of accounts for this localization. It can be,
