auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Lets you block invoicing on a sales order by selecting a blocking reason, so no invoice can be created from that order until the block is removed.

This module adds a way to stop invoices from being generated for a specific sales order while keeping the order itself active.

On the sales order form, a new field "Blocking for invoicing" appears next to the customer reference. You pick a reason from a list of blocking reasons.
As soon as a reason is set and the order is confirmed or done, the order's invoice status is forced to "Nothing to Invoice", and no order lines are considered invoiceable. This means the usual "Create Invoice" button will not produce an invoice.
If someone tries to invoice anyway, the error message now includes a hint that an invoice blocking reason may be present on the order.
Blocking reasons are managed in Sales > Configuration > Invoicing block reasons. Each reason has a name, and two reasons cannot share the same name.
Sales managers can create, edit and delete reasons; other internal users can only view them.
The module touches the sales order model (sale.order) and adds a new reason model (invoice.blocking.reason).
