1flux runs B2B trade as one connected flow on one AI-native platform, from the customer's PO and your requisition through to payment and the ledger, ready configured from day one.
1flux is an Odoo alternative for B2B trading, distribution and project-supply companies. Rather than a catalogue of apps to choose and set up, 1flux ships one flow, ready configured: quotation to customer payment, requisition to supplier payment, two-step goods receiving and journals that post themselves, all on one data model. AI works on those same records, so Import PO with AI turns a customer's PO into a draft quotation, and every legal entity keeps its own books in one workspace.
One connected flow for companies that trade, with AI on the same records as your team, compared with a suite of apps that you choose and add.

| AI | AI-native: AI works on the same connected, permissioned records and rules as your team. Today Import PO with AI turns a customer’s PO into a draft quotation | AI features listed on its plans3 |
| From PO to paid | One record from the customer’s PO to payment: each document creates the next and posts its own journal through one posting gateway | Sales, Purchase, Inventory and Invoicing apps, with full accounting on Enterprise1 |
| Several companies | Every legal entity in one workspace, each with its own currency, registrations, numbering, warehouses and books; a consolidation run combines the group | Multi-company, depending on plan3 |

1flux ships one flow for B2B trade, already connected and configured, so your team runs the business from day one. Here is what that means in practice.
1flux runs quote to cash as one chain. Attaching the customer's PO to an accepted quotation creates an order request, the sales order carries over lines, units, discounts, tax and shipping, and each dispatch creates a delivery note. You invoice what was delivered.
Stores record a goods received note (GRN) as a check-in, and nothing posts. A goods receipt report then posts stock and the journal in one step.
Goods receipt reports, delivery notes, sales and purchase invoices, customer payments, write-offs and stock counts post balanced journals through one posting gateway. It checks the period, the balance and the account mapping, and a repeated submit posts only once.
1flux's AI works on the same structured, connected and permissioned records as your team. Import PO with AI reads a customer's PO or RFQ and drafts up to 200 quotation lines, matching exact item codes to your catalogue with a confidence score. It never invents values.
AI in 1fluxEach legal entity keeps its own currency, registrations, letterhead, warehouses, costing method and books, and numbers its documents in its own sequence. A consolidation run combines the group into one currency, with a visible translation difference.
Multi-entity in 1fluxSeven overview pages, from CRM to Accounting, open on a "Needs action" list. Each row shows only to people who can act on it and links to the exact records.

Yes. 1flux comes set up for B2B trading, distribution and project supply: quotations, purchase orders, two-step goods receiving, stock across warehouses and journals that post themselves, with country packs and e-invoicing built in. Every module shares one data model, so your team quotes, buys, receives and invoices in one connected flow from the first day.
1flux is one platform built for B2B trade. CRM, Inventory and Accounting share one data model, every document hands off to the next, and one posting gateway writes every journal.

Yes. 1flux issues ZATCA-compliant e-invoices for Saudi Arabia, covering Phase 1 (generation) and Phase 2 (integration with ZATCA's Fatoora platform). It also supports UAE e-invoicing under the Federal Tax Authority's programme, ready for the 2027 go-live dates. E-invoicing runs on the same sales invoices that post to the ledger. See e-invoicing in 1flux.
Yes. One 1flux workspace holds several legal entities, each with its own currency, registrations, letterhead, warehouses, costing method and books, and its own sequence for orders, invoices and journals. People can be limited to specific entities when you invite them, and a consolidation run combines the group into one currency. Legal entities can be registered in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and India.
1flux posts stock and the ledger together. Every goods receipt report, delivery note, write-off and stock count writes quantity, cost layers and a balanced journal in one step, through one posting gateway. A Stock vs ledger check on the Accounting overview flags any difference, and every ledger line links back to the document that created it.
1flux moves you on a cutover date, with master data and opening balances. Import companies and contacts (up to 5,000 rows per file) and items (up to 10,000 rows) from CSV, Excel or pasted data, then post opening stock and an opening trial balance. Every file is validated before anything is saved, and rejected rows come back in an error file.
