This module extends the functionality of scheduled actions to allow you to select the ones that should not run simultaneously.

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Lets you mark scheduled actions (automated tasks) as mutually exclusive so they never run at the same time. You pick the other scheduled actions that must not overlap with the one you are editing.

This module adds a new setting on scheduled actions (the automated tasks Odoo runs in the background). On the scheduled action form, a new tab called "Mutually Exclusive Scheduled Actions" lets you list the other scheduled actions that must not run at the same time as this one.

  • The link works both ways: if action A excludes action B, Odoo also treats B as excluding A, so you only need to set it once.
  • Odoo refuses to save a scheduled action that excludes itself, showing an error message.
  • When a scheduled action starts running, Odoo temporarily blocks the related scheduled actions listed as mutually exclusive, so they cannot run simultaneously. The block is released as soon as the job finishes.

It only touches the scheduled actions screen (ir.cron) and adds no new menu of its own; the new tab is visible to technical users. No reports, emails or extra computations are added.
