I installed Odoo Community v. 17 on my windows desktop about two weeks ago. I've been trying to get it to do basic things, but I'm just flailing. There is documentation available at www dot odoo dot com slash documentation slash 17.0
but it doesn't seem to agree with what I am seeing. I have turned on advanced accounting, which is necessary to really get anywhere. I've set up a bank account and an associated journal. Now the bank account appears on the accounting dashboard. Since I'm not on Enterprise, I can't do bank synchronization. But I am basically stuck there. When I click the new transaction button on the bank journal (on the Accounting dashboard), I am taken to a screen that says Register a bank statement. There are no options to actually do anything. I was able to do a journal entry and put a dollar into the bank account, which I can see by choosing Misc Operations, but I can't reconcile it, import a statement, or really do anything.
If I choose Configuration in the Gear Icon in the bank journal, I am not able to choose anything other than Undefined Yet for the bank feed.
Any advice is useful. I hear good things about Odoo but am unable to make any progress.
