Your Belgian annual accounts, as the XBRL file the Central Balance Sheet Office accepts
Anthracite BNB turns your Odoo accounting into the annual accounts file you submit to the National Bank of Belgium.
Two ways to get it: the service works wherever your Odoo is hosted; the module needs Odoo Enterprise.
Belgian accounting, Odoo 19, abridged scheme — for Belgian companies that file their annual accounts themselves, and for accounting firms and fiduciaries that repeat the same steps every year across several Odoo databases.
We produce the abridged scheme. A micro company is entitled to file under the abridged scheme, and that is what you get; we do not produce the micro scheme itself, whose National Bank filing fee is slightly lower.
The servicewe generate the file Works everywhere We read your books remotely; you download the file. |
The moduleyou run it yourself Odoo Enterprise only You install it, you run it; nothing leaves your database. |

|---|---|---|
| Where it works | ||
| Odoo Online (odoo.com) | yes | no — the platform installs no custom code |
| odoo.sh or your own server, Enterprise | yes | yes |
| odoo.sh or your own server, Community | yes | no — it needs the Enterprise accounting reports |
| What you hand over | A read-only key you create yourself. Your source accounting is never modified | Nothing. It runs offline, no activation key, no network call |
| What you get | The XBRL file together with its validation report | The module, full Python source code, OPL-1 licence. You produce the file |
| What it costs | From 49 € excl. VAT, per legal entity and per financial year | 249 € excl. VAT, one-off, licence for one legal entity: yours |
| To start | The diagnosis is free, it reads totals only, and it commits you to nothing | Purchase, then install it in your Odoo |
| How it works | No database to host, no takeover to buy. We read your books, compute the file, and delete the data once the file is delivered. It is also the only route if your books are on Odoo Online. After payment, the generation page asks for your API key again (we never keep it), and you download your XBRL.

What neither of them does
- We do not draw up your annual accounts. Drawing them up is an activity reserved to ITAA professionals; we put figures that already exist into the form the recipient expects. You confirm, before generating, that the accounts were drawn up under your responsibility or your accountant’s
- Filing stays in your hands. We file nothing with the National Bank, on either route
- It produces a starting point, not a finished filing. You then complete it on the Central Balance Sheet Office web tool,
filing.cbso.nbb.be: list of directors, detailed social balance sheet, off-balance-sheet rights and commitments - It does not fix your books. A balance on the wrong side is reclassified in the entries, never in the XML
- Nothing guarantees it will work next financial year. The NBB formats change
And in every case: it does not check your accounts. If a figure is wrong in your books, it is wrong in the file. An accounting review remains essential before filing anything.
