This module allows you attach several customizable exceptions to your purchase request in a way that you can filter requests by exceptions type and fix them.
This is especially useful in an scenario for mass purchases requests import, because it's likely some orders have errors when you import them (like product not found in Odoo, wrong line format etc.)
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds customizable exception rules to purchase requests so blocked requests are flagged, filtered and can be reviewed or ignored before approval.
This module lets you define your own exception rules for purchase requests and their lines, and it automatically checks requests against them.
- Rules are managed from a new menu under Purchase configuration, where you can create rules that apply to
purchase.requestorpurchase.request.line. Two example rules are provided but switched off: "No approver" (request has no approver) and "Quantity not positive" (line quantity below zero). - When a request is sent for approval, exceptions are detected. If any are found, a popup wizard lists the outstanding exceptions so you can review them.
- On the request form a red warning banner shows the exception summary, and a button lets authorised users ignore the exceptions. The request list shows the main exception, and the search view has a "Blocked in Draft" filter to find requests with exceptions.
- A scheduled job (inactive by default) can periodically test all draft requests for exceptions.
- When a request is reset to draft, its exceptions and the ignore flag are cleared.
It touches purchase.request, purchase.request.line, exception.rule and adds the purchase.request.exception.confirm wizard.
