GAEB with Odoo
it’s that simple.
GAEB (Joint Committee for Electronics in Construction) is a standard developed specifically for the exchange of construction information.
It enables the structured and standardised transfer of specifications, tender data and invoicing information between the various stakeholders in the construction industry. This leads to greater transparency and efficiency in project management.

GAEB stands for Gemeinsamer Ausschuss Elektronik im Bauwesen (Joint Committee for Electronics in Construction) and refers to a DIN-standardized electronic file format for the construction industry. It standardizes and speeds up the processes of tendering, awarding, and billing (AVA) and enables the structured transfer of bills of quantities, quote, and billing data between all parties involved. GAEB files are primarily used in four areas: requests for quotes, quote submission, order placement, and the exchange of quotes between companies.
All relevant ones: 80 (needs assessment), 81–86 (tendering through billing), and 31–35 (construction execution & documentation). The integration thus covers the key phases of day-to-day business – particularly the import of tenders and the export of quotes.
All three format generations: GAEB 90 (D files), GAEB 2000 (P files), and GAEB DA XML (X files), including XML versions 3.2 and 3.3.
Yes. You can create GAEB files directly from Odoo and send them as a tender to your subcontractors. Their quotes can then be imported back into Odoo.
