The e-balance sheet (E-Bilanz) is mandatory – yet many companies struggle with the same problem every year: exporting data, preparing it manually, maintaining it twice.
And all of that alongside day-to-day business.
Until now, Odoo lacked a connection like this for preparing the e-balance sheet as well.
But with syscoon's new Odoo eBilanz+ interface, that's now a thing of the past.
In this article, you'll learn how to create, submit, and document your e-balance sheet in an audit-proof way with just a few clicks – with no system break and no stress.
Why E-Balance Sheets Often Create More Work Than Necessary at Year-End Close
Year-end closing often means more effort and more uncertainty – especially when systems don't work together.
Media Discontinuities Cause Duplicate Work
Many companies still work with manual processes:
- Excel export from Odoo
- manual adjustments
- manual transfer into e-balance sheet software
This not only costs time – it also makes the process error-prone and hard to audit.
Tax Advisors & E-Balance Sheet – the Interface for Odoo Brings Clarity
The e-balance sheet often leads to follow-up questions – especially when tax advisors and companies work with different systems:
- Tax advisors request the data in specific formats
- Companies export manually from Odoo
- Coordinating account mapping takes time
Our e-balance sheet interface solves exactly this problem: the data is transferred automatically in structured form – with no additional preparation required.
Company Register – Often a Separate Process
The disclosure requirement with the Bundesanzeiger (Federal Gazette) is often handled separately. This leads to duplicate processes, a lack of transparency, and unnecessary loss of time. From now on, everything can be mapped in a single workflow!
The Solution: E-Balance Sheet Integration for Odoo with eBilanz+
eBilanz+ is the simple online solution for preparing and submitting e-balance sheets to the tax authorities. In addition to tax balance sheets, it can also produce commercial balance sheets with a reconciliation statement – including the documents needed for disclosure with the Bundesanzeiger or company register.
The solution supports all common balance sheet types and legal forms, as well as digital financial reports for credit institutions. Thanks to its intuitive interface and smart assistants, eBilanz+ is ideal for anyone who prepares their own annual financial statements.
E-Balance Sheet at the Click of a Button: Bidirectional API Exchange Between eBilanz+ and Odoo
Our API puts an end to media discontinuities and manual workarounds:
With just 2–3 clicks, you transfer the complete trial balance directly from Odoo to eBilanz+. There, you can continue working with the data as usual – adding missing information, validating it, and securely submitting the e-balance sheet to the tax office. All without manual exports or formatting effort.
The result? A radically simplified process that saves valuable time – especially during the stressful closing phase.
And after submission, you simply access the submitted documents directly in Odoo. Thanks to the bidirectional API exchange between Odoo and eBilanz+, everything is automatically transferred back, archived in an audit-proof way, and documented centrally in the system.
This way, you always have an overview of all tax-relevant submissions – traceable, auditable, and fully digital.
Disclosure in the Company Register Built In From the Start
The obligation to disclose information in the company register is an added burden for many companies. But this is exactly where our solution goes further. That's because disclosure happens directly after the e-balance sheet is submitted – as part of the very same process.
This means for you:
- No additional tools or portals
- No duplicate exports or uploads
- 100% transparency over all submitted documents
- The tax office and the company register are both handled in a single step
Submitted once – everything's done.
The disclosure obligation with the company register is thus covered just as reliably as the submission to the tax office. One continuous workflow that saves time and ensures compliance.
