Hi othmancs,

In Odoo 16, the "Neutralize" option refers to a functionality that helps neutralize a database. When you neutralize a database, it deactivates various components such as scheduled actions, payment providers, delivery carriers, outgoing and incoming email servers. This action essentially removes access to the live environment and provides a testing environment.

By neutralizing a database, you can safely test and experiment with your Odoo instance without affecting the live environment. It allows you to make changes, perform tests, and troubleshoot without impacting the operational database. This can be particularly useful for developers and administrators who need a controlled environment for testing new features or configurations.

I hope this clarifies the concept of the "Neutralize" option in Odoo 16. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!

Hope this answer will help you.

Thanks & Regards,
