This module allows extend a contract creating a new one as copy of the original contract.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds a 'Renew Contract' button on employee contracts that opens a small wizard to create a new contract copied from the current one, starting the day after the old contract ends.
This module makes it easy to extend an employee's contract without retyping all the information.
On the contract form (the hr.contract screen), a highlighted "Renew Contract" button appears in the header, but only when the contract has no end date set. Clicking it opens a small pop-up window where the user only has to enter the new End Date (it defaults to today).
Pressing "Renew" in the pop-up automatically: - Creates a new contract as a copy of the original one, in Draft state, keeping the same working schedule. - Sets the new contract's start date to the date entered in the wizard. - Names the new contract "Extend Contract for [employee name]". - Updates the original contract's end date to the day before the new start date, so the two contracts follow each other without overlapping. - Opens the newly created contract so the user can review or adjust it.
The module adds one new screen (the renewal wizard) and one button on the existing contract form. It works together with the standard Contracts app (hr.contract) and does not change payroll, attendance or any other area.
