Why teams connect Navan and Odoo

Keep Navan and Odoo agreeing on customers, invoices, and balances, whether they split the finance workload or one is replacing the other.

A dedicated finance tool and an ERP end up side by side for practical reasons: a subsidiary runs lighter software than headquarters, billing runs in a specialist system while the enterprise system holds the wider view, or the company is mid-migration and both are live. Whatever the split, the two systems describe overlapping customers and transactions, and that overlap drifts without a live connection.

Stacksync syncs Users, Card Transactions, Connect Transactions, Manual Transactions in Navan with Purchase Orders (purchase.order), Inventory Transfers (stock.picking), Employees (hr.employee), Projects and Tasks (project.project / project.task) in Odoo in real time and in both directions. You decide which system wins on which field, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Users and department mappings from an HRIS into reporting tables so every transaction is attributed to a cost center and manager.
  • 02 Sync Card Transactions and Manual Transactions into Postgres or a warehouse so finance analyzes corporate spend in SQL without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Mirror invoices and journal entries into a warehouse for consolidated financial reporting across entities.
  • 04 Keep product and price list data aligned between Odoo and storefronts or marketplaces.

Common sync patterns

One customer and vendor master

Where both systems keep records of the same organizations, corrections made in either propagate to the other.

Subsidiary to headquarters

Where Navan serves a business unit and Odoo is the group system, transactions and customer records roll up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.

Where Navan handles billing: invoices land in Odoo

Invoices and payment activity from the billing side post through to the enterprise system automatically.

What you can sync between Navan and Odoo

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Navan objects Odoo objects How this pairing syncs
Bookings Flight, hotel, rail, and car reservations from the Booking API; pulled read-only by createdFrom/createdTo date range for trip and travel-spend reporting. Sales Orders (sale.order) Quotations and confirmed orders synced with e-commerce and external CRMs. Bookings is specific to Navan and Sales Orders (sale.order) to Odoo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Fields Company metadata such as cost centers and project codes; discovered via GET and their option lists created or updated via async POST. Invoices (account.move) Customer invoices and journal entries synced with accounting and reporting tools. Custom Fields is specific to Navan and Invoices (account.move) to Odoo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Receipts Receipt images tied to each transaction; fetched read-only through presigned URLs for archival in a warehouse or document store. Products (product.template / product.product) Catalog and variant data distributed to storefronts and quoting tools. Receipts is specific to Navan and Products (product.template / product.product) to Odoo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments Money-movement records including repayments, FX and platform fees, and credit or debit memos; read-only for reconciliation ledgers. CRM Leads (crm.lead) Leads and opportunities synced with marketing and enrichment systems. Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments is specific to Navan and CRM Leads (crm.lead) to Odoo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Employee and cardholder records referenced by every transaction; usually provisioned from an HRIS and used to map spend to people and departments. Purchase Orders (purchase.order) Procurement documents shared with supplier-facing systems. Users is specific to Navan and Purchase Orders (purchase.order) to Odoo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Card Transactions Navan physical and virtual card spend; read via GET, then GL codes, cost centers, and ERP sync status are written back per transaction through the transaction update endpoint. Inventory Transfers (stock.picking) Delivery and receipt operations synced for fulfillment visibility. Card Transactions is specific to Navan and Inventory Transfers (stock.picking) to Odoo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Navan and Odoo

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Navan Odoo Sub-second propagation

DetectionNavan notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense events.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Odoo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Odoo Navan Sub-second propagation

DetectionOdoo notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on the write_date timestamp every record carries.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Navan through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Navan: Requests are throttled with HTTP 429 and Navan recommends retrying with exponential backoff; the Expense/Public API must first be enabled per account by Navan.
  • Odoo: Self-hosted instances have no fixed rate limits; Odoo Online is subject to the platform's fair-use limits.

How the Navan and Odoo connectors work

Navan

Integration surface
REST (Expense API and Booking API)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client-credentials flow; an admin creates a client_id and client_secret under Settings > Integrations and exchanges them at Navan's OAuth token endpoint for a short-lived bearer token that is refreshed on expiry (separate US and EU regional hosts)
Change detection
Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense events; sync engines also poll GET endpoints with date-range and updatedAt filters (createdFrom/createdTo for bookings) to backfill history and reconcile. There is no database-level CDC.
