The goal of this module is to be a common ground for ebilling addons. It adds an ebill.payment.contract attached to a partner. Alone this module has no purpose. It needs to be installed with a module that implements a specific ebilling system. This depending module has to implement his own 'transmit.method'.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds a new "eBill Payment Contract" screen under Invoicing > Customers where you record, per customer and per e-billing service, the contract period and status. It is a technical foundation: alone it does not send or receive any e-bill.
This module creates a new record type, the eBill Payment Contract, that links a customer to an e-billing service (the "Service Name", taken from the invoice transmission methods already configured in Odoo).
Where it appears: a new menu "eBill Payment Contract" is added under Invoicing > Customers. It opens a list of contracts and a form to create or edit one. The list shows the service, the customer, the status, the start and end dates, and can be filtered on valid contracts only.
What you can do: for each customer you can record one or more contracts, each with a start date (defaults to today), an optional end date and a status of Draft, Open or Cancel. The customer name is filled automatically from the customer record.
Automatic behaviour: a contract is considered valid only when its status is Open, its start date is today or in the past, and its end date is empty or still in the future. This validity is computed automatically and can be used as a filter. If you set a contract to Cancel and its end date is in the future, the end date is automatically reset to today.
Who can use it: all internal users can read contracts; only Accounting Managers can create, edit or delete them.
Technical note: it also adds a helper on the customer record to find the active contract for a given service, which other e-billing modules can use. Without such a module, this one has no practical effect.
