This module gives the posibility to have a relation between partners have a function.

Of course there is a function field on partner, but this ignores the fact that persons can have multiple functions depending on the relations they are in. For instance a person can be a CEO in one company and a volunteer in another organisation.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Lets you record a job title or role (a "function") on the relationship between two contacts, for example CEO of one company and volunteer at another. You can also search contacts by that function.

This module builds on partner relations. It adds a free-text "function" field on each relation between two contacts, so the same person can carry a different role in each relationship (for example CEO in one company, volunteer in another).

  • On relation types you get a new "allow function" option. A function can only be entered on relations whose type allows it; otherwise Odoo blocks the entry with a validation message.
  • In the relations list the function column is shown and is editable only when the relation type allows a function.
  • The relation name displayed includes the function, for example "... with function CEO".
  • The relations list and its search view gain a function filter, and the relation type list and form show the "allow function" setting.
  • On the contact search view a new "Has relation function" filter lets you find contacts by the function they hold in a relation.

It touches the contact, relation, relation type and relation type selection records, and the related list, form and search screens.
