In this article, we will explore all the features that we were able to collect from twitter (@ray_odoo) and other sources on the internet as well as our own testing of daily builds.
New Features in Odoo 16
New App : Knowledge Management
The new knowledge App will allow you to replace tools like Notion and word processors to capture the knowledge and documentation of projects and processes in an interactive way.
When first announced, Knowledge app was part of Odoo Community. However, it's now exclusively available in Odoo Enterprise Edition.
The new app will allow users to build and share documentation, best practices and business processes more easily.
NavyBits, the Odoo Silver Partner in Lebanon, already tested the new Knowledge App and we believe that every business user will need it to document their daily routines.
Updated Design in Enterprise
The UI/UX of Odoo Enterprise will be much more enhanced with time savers and modern tweaks.
Odoo 16 will allow easy switching between screens.
Odoo 16 will also have a redesigned Chatter UI
Code Cleanup and Performance
Odoo 16 will focus on removing and refactoring the code base and achieving peak performance.
Responsive Design in Community
Odoo community design feels outdated. Everyone is complaining about it.
This is the number one request of Odoo users who rely on Odoo Community and OCA modules for their business.
If you are using Odoo community v16, you will enjoy the responsive and mobile friendly interface with modern design.

The eCommerce app is hugely improved, providing features that were generally lacking in Odoo without third-party apps.

You will also benefit from features like

Holes can be easily fixed with the "Resequencing" wizard.
Improvements to fixed assets
In Odoo v16, you can easily cancel and asset.
If the GL entries are locked, reverse entries will be created.
If the GL entries are unlocked, it will become unposted.
The option to modify the depreciation by selling the asset is also available.
Storno Accounting for Eastern Europe
Storno accounting is a practice of using negative debit or credit amounts to reverse original journal account entries.
Because bookkeepers typically write Storno entries in red ink, this accounting practice is also known as Red Storno.
Using Storno accounting you can cancel a document with incorrect amounts, however you should always enter the correct document amount after the cancellation.
