Frequently Asked Questions
How can I ...
The most straightforward way to reach Therp is by filling out our contact form or by mailing info@therp.nl
Are you experiencing an emergency? See: What can I do if I have an emergency with my Odoo system?
You can log into your portal by going to helpdesk.therp.nland clicking on "Sign in" in the top-right corner.
After this, enter the username you received from us and the password you set yourself after logging in for the first time. After that, press 'Log in' and voilà, you are there.
You can create a task after you've logged into your account. When you are logged in you will see your account overview. On the right, you will see your personal information. On the left, under "Documents", you can see your Projects, Tasks, and Customer Hours. To create a task you must first enter the 'Tasks' menu by clicking on it.
When you land on the page you will see the button 'Create Task' on the right. This will create a new task.
Once you have pressed it, a pop-up will appear. Give your task a name and fill in the description field of what it entails below.
You can also indicate the numbers 0 to 3, which translates to its urgency. 0 is not urgent, and 3 is very urgent.
You can also see the project. Most likely this is just the name of your company. If you have multiple projects, here is where you choose where the task will end up in.
When you're done, press 'Save and create new task' and your task is created.
Do you want to know what the best layout is for your task? Look below at the FAQ "How can I help create a clear task?"
You can help create a clear task by doing the following:
To ensure that we can pick up your task quickly, a good layout is essential. This way, you not only help us, you also help yourself. A clear and well-structured task ensures less analysis, less emailing back and forth, and faster elaboration. That saves time, and, as we know, less time saves money.
For us, a great task is divided in three parts:
-
The reason for the task
--> Why are you sending in the task, or, in other words, what is the problem. -
A clear description
--> Describe as best you can what you're up against. Think about the time you discovered it, what happens, and how it happens. Screenshots help with this or a short screen recording of where you encounter the error message/bug. If you get a pop-up from Odoo where you can copy the error code, do so and copy/paste it into the task. -
The acceptance criteria for the task
--> Please describe what you hope to see after the fix, i.e. when do you consider the task fixed.
Do you want to know more about what our process is for every task that comes in? Have a look at: Where can I find information about your work process?"
When you are logged in, click on 'Tasks'.
Once there, you can clearly see all your tasks that have been created.
Here you can see, among other things, the task number, who each task is assigned to, the name of the task, the urgency, and the planned and used time. You can also apply different filters. Feel free to play around with it.

What can I ...
We can do a great amount of items regarding Odoo. For example, we are experts in:
-
Module customization
-
Adjust existing modules
-
Tackle problems within Odoo
-
Migrations (of data as well as Odoo versions)
But this is not all. For example, we can also guide you or your team through new features that we have implemented, or make your system more secure against cyber-attacks. Take a look on our site for an overview of all our product services.
To give you the best possible insight into the costs of what you want done on each project/task, we initialize a step to define this: The analysis phase.
In this phase we take 1 to 4 hours, depending on the size of your project/task, to arrive at a correct cost picture. Amongst others we go through the following steps:
-
Analyzing the code
-
What needs to be done
-
The most optimal way to do this
-
See if there are modules that (partly) solve the existing problem
At the end of this, we come back to you and provide our results together with a proposal. Once this is approved, we get to work.
We have found that you save costs by going through this phase properly. It gives us the opportunity to find out everything down to the last detail. This way you will not be faced with unexpected problems halfway through. Everything is clear beforehand so you know what to expect.
When there is an emergency, we advise you to call +31203093093 and we'll help you with what is going on. You can reach us during office hours from Mon - Fri 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
You can expect several services from us regarding Odoo Support. Below we name a few:

Where can I ...
More information about our work process can be found below:
When you have a project that you want us to work on, we go through eight phases. Because you can follow along with what happens to your issue whenever there is a development, you are always up-to-date on the status of your project. Of course, we also regularly come back to you for feedback or any questions.
The phases:
-
You create a project and/or task on your portal.
-
We enter the analysis phase where we take a closer look at what you want to get done.
-
You will receive a proposal from us where we indicate how we can best solve this together with an estimate of the time it will take.
-
When you agree with the proposal, we will get to work for you.
-
If, during the process, we run into a problem and/or part for which we need your input, we will send you a message on that task.
-
The solution has been found and implemented on the test server we created. We ask that you look at it and provide feedback.
-
Are you satisfied? Then the solution is put into production.
-
Do you have any additional comments? We go through them and implement them. After this, you will receive a message for a review, after which we go through step 7 again.
If you want to know more about our philosophy, take a look at our Mission and Vision.
You will receive a Helpdesk Account as soon as you indicate a project or task that you want us to solve.
We will create an account for you, after which you will receive an email with your username and a link to log in. Once you have done this for the first time, you can change your password to your own liking.
Do you have a project you want us to do? Great! Mail us your proposal and we will contact you as soon as possible.
The best way to communicate with us is via the task in question:
When you have created a task you can click on it in your tasks list. As soon as you do, you will get an overview of your issue and you will see a field below it where you can leave comments. This is where you can best communicate about your issue.
That way we see it the fastest and we also know immediately about which issue you have a question. In turn, we will put the answer below and you will immediately receive a notification in your mailbox.
Now communication always remains linked to what (task) it is about and you can also quickly go back to what was said earlier or what is stated in the issue description. Clear and easy.
The best way to report a bug/error in your Odoo system is through one of the following ways:
-
Have you never had work done with us before? Then it is best to send an email with what your issue toinfo@therp.nl. We will contact you as soon as possible.
-
If you have worked with us more often to have a bug and/or error fixed, you most likely received a Helpdesk Account from us. You can then submit your task/issue yourself by creating a new task.
