Binovo implements, customises and maintains Odoo for companies in Álava, with TicketBAI from the Provincial Tax Authority of Álava (Hacienda Foral de Álava) built into invoicing. We have been working with Odoo (formerly OpenERP) for more than 12 years, we have implemented or maintained Odoo in more than 100 companies in total, and we are the authors of the TicketBAI modules published in the OCA.

If you are coming from another system, we have a guide to migrating from Sage or A3 to Odoo. If you are still weighing up the switch, start with what Odoo is.
Batuz, which is specific to Bizkaia, does not apply in Álava: what the Provincial Tax Authority of Álava requires is TicketBAI on every invoice.
| Topic | What the Provincial Council of Álava says |
|---|---|
| Start date | In phases during 2022: voluntary from 1 January; collaborating tax advisory firms from 1 April; pharmacies and professional activities from 1 July, and all other taxpayers from 1 December 2022. |
| Submission | The file for each invoice is sent immediately upon issue, so an internet connection is required. If communication fails, the invoice is still issued and the file is sent as soon as the connection is restored. |
| What you need | Software listed in the TicketBAI guarantor software register, a digital certificate and a device associated with the tax ID (NIF) of the invoice issuer. The invoice carries a QR code and a TicketBAI identifier. |
| Free application | FakturAraba, a web application from the Provincial Council that generates the invoice as a PDF with QR code and identifier and sends it to the Provincial Tax Authority. |
In Odoo, you need to review every channel through which an invoice is issued: sales, POS, online shop, recurring invoicing, credit notes and cancellations. The technical details, the modules and who is responsible for each installation are covered in our guide to TicketBAI in Odoo.
FakturAraba is designed for issuing invoices and has its limits: according to the Provincial Council, it cannot be used for the special VAT group of entities regime (advanced level) or, for now, for invoices to public administrations in Facturae format. If you also want sales, purchasing, warehouse and accounting to share the same data, what you need is an ERP.
Verifactu, from the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria), does not generally apply to business activity taxed under the Basque provincial tax authorities. B2B e-invoicing is a separate obligation and, in the foral territories, depends on what is agreed with their tax authorities: as of 11 November 2026, we have not found any such agreements published.
A guide based on typical activities in the territory. It is not a list of clients.
| Activity | Where the pain is usually felt | How Odoo helps |
|---|---|---|
| Industry, automotive and metal (Llanada Alavesa, Aiaraldea) | Make-to-order or batch production, purchasing and lead times | Manufacturing, purchasing and cost per order |
| Logistics and distribution (Vitoria-Gasteiz area) | Stock across several warehouses and orders from many channels | Inventory, sales and purchasing in a single system |
| Wine and food (Rioja Alavesa) | Lots, traceability and sales to distributors and through an online shop | Inventory with lots, sales and online shop |
| Retail, hospitality and services (Vitoria-Gasteiz) | Receipts, hours and projects | POS with TicketBAI, projects and accounting |
We present Odoo Community and Enterprise in every project and the client decides. Most choose Community, with no dogma involved. More details in Odoo implementation.
We also add AI inside Odoo to read supplier invoices, expense reports and support requests, we handle systems administration and, as a Proxmox partner since 2013, we carry out VMware to Proxmox migrations.
Calls for applications change every year and each one defines which projects it accepts. We review with you which ones fit your case on our page on grants for technology projects. If none of them fit, we also offer leasing, renting and financing.
Yes. We have clients in all three foral tax territories, including Álava. We work remotely and on site from our office in Oiartzun (Gipuzkoa). We travel to Álava frequently, as we do to the rest of the Basque Country, Navarre, Cantabria, La Rioja and Burgos, and we go anywhere in Spain where we are needed. We provide service in Spanish and in Basque.
Yes, provided it is properly adapted and each installation is reviewed: sales, POS, online shop, credit notes, certificates and custom developments. Binovo is the author of the TicketBAI modules published in the OCA, and they work with both Community and Enterprise.
According to the Provincial Council of Álava, it was introduced in phases in 2022: collaborating tax advisory firms from 1 April, pharmacies and professional activities from 1 July, and all other taxpayers from 1 December 2022.
No. The LROE (the Bizkaia ledger of economic transactions) is part of Batuz, which is specific to the Provincial Council of Bizkaia. In Álava, what the Provincial Tax Authority requires is TicketBAI.
FakturAraba is the free web application from the Provincial Council of Álava for issuing TicketBAI-compliant invoices. It may be enough if you only need to issue invoices and none of its exclusions apply to you. Odoo makes sense when you want to bring invoicing, sales, purchasing, warehouse, manufacturing or accounting together in a single system.
Generally, no: activity taxed in Álava is governed by TicketBAI. If your company also operates under the Spanish Tax Agency, you need to analyse which tax authority each part of the business falls under.
No. Binovo does not install its tax modules on an Odoo managed by another partner, nor does it provide a service solely to install a module. The modules are public: whoever installs them on their Odoo takes on responsibility for that invoicing system.
It is determined in a consulting conversation, because needs differ even within the same sector and a generic figure would create false expectations. It depends on users, areas, data to be migrated, custom developments, integrations and Odoo edition.
We have clients in all three foral tax territories. We do not name them here: if you would like references, contact us and we will look at it for your case.
Our office is at Astigarragako Bidea 2, 2º izda., oficina 10-11, 20180 Oiartzun (Gipuzkoa). Call us on 943 569 206 or write to us.
