TRA receipts, straight from Odoo.
Issue TRA fiscal receipts from your Odoo invoices and Point of Sale through a Virtual Fiscal Device. No EFD machine, no typing every sale twice, and a Z report that finally matches your books.
VFD
"Most days it almost matches." That's the problem.
A separate EFD machine means every sale is entered twice, and every evening someone tries to make the Z report agree with the invoices.
With an EFD machine
- Every sale typed into the system, then again into the EFD
- Machines that break or run out of paper mid-day
- Z reports reconciled against invoices by hand
- Missed or mistyped receipts found weeks later
With TRA VFD in Odoo
- Each sale recorded once; the receipt comes from that record
- No fiscal hardware to buy, repair or refill
- Z reports fetched daily, from the same receipts
- Every receipt's status visible, failures retried automatically

About TRA VFD for Odoo.
Do I still need an EFD machine?+
No. Receipts are issued online through a Virtual Fiscal Device, from the invoices and sales you record in Odoo. You'll need an account with a VFD provider.
What happens if the internet goes down?+
Invoices that can't reach TRA keep their status and are retried automatically every 30 minutes. At the POS, the sale still goes through and the cashier can post the receipt again with one tap once the connection is back.
Do I need Odoo Point of Sale?+
No. The module works with invoices alone. POS support is added only if you already use Odoo Point of Sale.
Can my customers verify their receipts?+
Yes. Every receipt carries the TRA verification code and a QR code, and the email includes a "Verify on TRA" link.
Which Odoo version does it need?+
TRA VFD is built for Odoo 19. If you're on an older version, we can plan the upgrade with you.
See it post a receipt from your own invoice.
We'll show you TRA VFD working on your Odoo, and take you from VFD credentials to your first live receipt.
