Invoice Customer No Autofollow
By default Odoo adds customer as follower to all invoices. This module allows to disable this behaviour using General Settings.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0Adds a setting in Odoo that stops customers and vendors from being automatically added as followers on invoices. When enabled, creating or posting an invoice no longer subscribes the invoice partner to its messages.
By default, Odoo automatically adds the customer or vendor as a follower on invoices, which means they can receive notifications about that invoice. This module gives you a switch to turn that behaviour off.
Where to find it: - Go to the General Settings and look for the new "Autofollow" section. There you will find the option "Disable customer/vendor autofollow".
What it changes:
- When the option is enabled, the customer or vendor is not added as a follower when an invoice is created or when it is posted.
- The setting is stored as a system parameter, so it applies globally to all invoices.
- The module works on the account.move model, which is the model behind customer invoices, vendor bills and journal entries.
What it does not do: - It does not remove followers that were already added before the option was turned on. - It does not prevent you from manually adding a follower to an invoice. - It only affects the automatic subscription of the invoice partner; other followers are not touched.
This is useful if you do not want customers or vendors to receive automatic notifications about invoices, for example when you manage communications through another channel.
