Editions and modules
Core module Odoo Enterprise: Barcode app Odoo Enterprise: Quality app 3PL add-on For: Administrator, Compliance manager Checked on 18.0.0.2.0, 18.0.1.0.0
This page lists the six Rx Tracking modules, the Odoo edition each one needs, what it brings in from Odoo, what installs automatically and
which guide covers it. In Odoo, you find the modules in Apps: remove the Apps filter and search for Rx Tracking. To install them,
see Install the Rx Tracking modules.
Which modules to install for your edition
| You run | and you hold | Install | Installs itself |
|---|---|---|---|
| Odoo Community | your own stock only | Rx Tracking (DSCSA) | nothing |
| Odoo Community | your own stock and stock for owners (3PL) | Rx Tracking (DSCSA), then Rx Tracking (DSCSA): 3PL and title model | nothing |
| Odoo Enterprise | your own stock only | Rx Tracking (DSCSA); add Rx Tracking (DSCSA) - Barcode to scan in the Barcode app, and Rx Tracking (DSCSA) - Suspect Product Investigations for investigations in the Quality app | nothing |
| Odoo Enterprise | your own stock and stock for owners (3PL) | as above, plus Rx Tracking (DSCSA): 3PL and title model | Rx Tracking (DSCSA): 3PL Barcode bridge and Rx Tracking (DSCSA): 3PL Quality bridge, each once both modules it connects are installed |
In every case, also install Odoo's Sales and Contacts apps: the core module needs the sales engine but doesn't install the Sales app (Install Rx Tracking (DSCSA), Known issue PF-T02-01).
Install the core module first. The 3PL add-on and the Enterprise add-ons can follow in any order; the bridges follow by themselves.

What each module adds
| Module | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Rx Tracking (DSCSA) | the package ledger (one record per serialized unit), serial capture at receipt, delivery, return, scrap and count, trading-partner license checks on orders and transfers, supplier EPCIS files in, DSCSA documents (T3 PDF and EPCIS file) out, quarantine, trace requests, retention exports, legal hold, the off-site archive, the customer portal pages for DSCSA documents |
| Rx Tracking (DSCSA): 3PL and title model | stock held for several owners, documents in the owner's name, owner holds, notices and recalls, owner instructions, title transfers in place, owner reports and exports, the owner portal. It does nothing until third-party logistics is turned on for a company |
| Rx Tracking (DSCSA) - Barcode | in Odoo's Barcode app, one GS1 DataMatrix scan fills in the lot and registers the serial of a DSCSA product |
| Rx Tracking (DSCSA) - Suspect Product Investigations | suspect and illegitimate product investigations in Odoo's Quality app, with their deadlines and the data of Form FDA 3911; every Rx Tracking User also becomes a Quality user |
| Rx Tracking (DSCSA): 3PL Barcode bridge | the owner of the stock in the Barcode app; no settings or menus |
| Rx Tracking (DSCSA): 3PL Quality bridge | investigations and Form FDA 3911 data per owner; no settings or menus |
What each module needs from Odoo
Installing a module also installs the Odoo apps and modules it needs, if they aren't installed yet.
| Module | Needs (Odoo apps, with the technical names of the modules) |
|---|---|
| Rx Tracking (DSCSA) | Inventory (stock), Purchase (purchase_stock), the sales engine (sale_stock, not the Sales app), Invoicing (account), Discuss (mail), portal (portal), payments (payment), expiry dates (product_expiry), the GS1 barcode nomenclature (barcodes_gs1_nomenclature) and the partner GLN field (account_add_gln) |
| Rx Tracking (DSCSA): 3PL and title model | Rx Tracking (DSCSA) only; no Enterprise module |
| Rx Tracking (DSCSA) - Barcode | Rx Tracking (DSCSA) and Odoo Enterprise's Barcode app (stock_barcode, stock_barcode_product_expiry) |
| Rx Tracking (DSCSA) - Suspect Product Investigations | Rx Tracking (DSCSA) and Odoo Enterprise's Quality app (quality_control) |
| Rx Tracking (DSCSA): 3PL Barcode bridge | Rx Tracking (DSCSA): 3PL and title model, and Rx Tracking (DSCSA) - Barcode |
| Rx Tracking (DSCSA): 3PL Quality bridge | Rx Tracking (DSCSA): 3PL and title model, and Rx Tracking (DSCSA) - Suspect Product Investigations |
No module needs Python packages beyond Odoo's own. On Odoo Enterprise, Odoo's Barcode app installs itself with Inventory; the Rx Tracking Barcode add-on doesn't.
Language and hosting
- English (US) only. The modules ship no translations: users who work in another language see the Rx Tracking screens, messages, reports and emails in English, and these docs quote the English labels.
- Hosting. The modules run on your own server and on Odoo.sh, not on Odoo Online, which runs only Odoo's standard apps. See Put the modules on the server.
With Odoo Community only
A buyer with Odoo Community uses these guides in full: Getting started, the core guide, the 3PL guide, the portal handouts, Troubleshooting and Reference. The two Enterprise add-ons and the bridges can't be installed on Community: Apps lists them, but activating them fails (On Odoo Community). What to do instead:
| Enterprise add-on | Community alternative |
|---|---|
| Rx Tracking (DSCSA) - Barcode | Scan Serials on the transfer form, with a keyboard-wedge scanner: Without the Barcode app |
| Rx Tracking (DSCSA) - Suspect Product Investigations | the core module's lot quarantine, trace requests and scrap: Without the Quality app |
