Purchases can be received by different modes of transport. For example, the transport can be done in a truck with a loading capacity of X tonnes or Y tonnes. With this module it is possible to validate that the purchase complies with the requirements of a particular mode of transport.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0Define transport modes with rules that purchase orders must satisfy, assign a default transport mode to vendors, and see warnings on purchase orders when the rules are not met.
This module lets you create transport modes (for example, a truck with a given capacity) and attach constraints to them. Each constraint has a name, a description and a filter written as a domain on purchase orders; a purchase order satisfies the constraint only if it matches that filter.
You can assign a default transport mode to a vendor on the partner form. When you create a purchase order for that vendor, the transport mode is filled in automatically from the vendor's commercial entity, and you can still change it on the order.
On the purchase order form, a warning block appears when the order does not satisfy all the constraints of its transport mode, listing each failed constraint with its description. The check runs only when the option is enabled in Purchase settings and the order has already been saved.
A pre-configured exception rule named "Transport mode" is also added, so the standard purchase exception mechanism can flag orders whose transport mode requirements are not satisfied.
Configuration is done in Purchase settings and in a new "Purchase Transport Mode" menu under Purchase configuration, where you manage transport modes and their constraints. Purchase users get full access to these records.
