At #ODOO4projects, we’ve seen it time and again: mixing customization methods in Odoo can turn a good project into a real headache! 🚫🧩 Our firm rule? NEVER mix Studio with custom modules in the same implementation—doing so always leads to confusion and unsustainable systems.

Our go-to approach: we prefer custom modules whenever possible. Custom modules keep things clear—every customization is visible, structured, and easy to maintain. But we’re pragmatic and know there’s a time and place for each method.

🛠️ When do we use Studio?

• When we need to spin up a demo quickly or iterate with clients, Studio is unbeatable. (Thanks to Andrew Law of ODOO it yourself for this tip!)
• Studio is also perfect if you want to empower clients to make quick report changes without digging into code.

🧑‍💻 When do we use custom modules?

• Any time models need to be changed or new ones added, we go with custom modules. This keeps your solution future-proof and crystal clear.

Quick demos? Use Studio. Robust, sustainable customizations? Go custom module. Mixing them? Just don’t! 😉
