Hi,

Setting up Odoo payroll for Oman without a specific localization requires manual configuration. Start by understanding Omani payroll components like basic salary, allowances, social security, and gratuity. Then, configure Odoo by installing the Payroll module, setting basic accounting parameters, and creating salary structures and rules for each payroll component. Python code will be needed for complex calculations like social security and overtime.

Key challenges include staying updated with Omani tax laws, creating custom reports, and accurately calculating gratuity. While Odoo lacks an official Omani localization, check the Odoo App Store for community modules and consider contacting Odoo partners. Start simple, test thoroughly, document your configuration, and seek help when needed.

Hope it helps

Odoo doesn’t yet ship a payroll localization for Oman, so you’ll need to build your own salary structures, rules, and inputs manually. The general approach is:

• Define salary structure types (e.g. monthly wage, allowances, deductions).

• Create salary rules for each component (basic, housing, transport, social security, etc.), using Python expressions or conditions where needed.

• Assign the structure to employees so payslips compute correctly.

There isn’t an official timeline for an Oman localization. Most companies either adapt a nearby localization (like UAE) or develop a custom module to reflect local laws. If compliance is critical, you’ll want to model the rules with HR/finance guidance and keep an eye on Odoo’s localization roadmap or community contributions.

you can configure payroll manually with custom structures and rules; no Oman localization is available yet, so it’s a matter of tailoring it yourself or waiting for community/official release.
