Sale Partner Sale Contact - Website Sale

This module connects the eCommerce checkout with the sale contact logic used in the back office. Normally, when a contact person of a company orders through the website, the order stays in that person's name because the automatic switch to the company only happens when someone edits the order by hand in the backend.

With this module, the switch happens automatically at the moment the website order is confirmed:

• The customer on the order is replaced by the company (the commercial partner).
• The contact person who actually placed the order is saved in the sale contact field, so the origin of the order is not lost.
• The invoice address, delivery address, fiscal position and payment terms chosen during checkout are kept as they were.

The switch is deliberately not done while the order is still a shopping cart, because the website keeps resetting the cart's customer to the logged-in user. Confirmation is the first stable moment to do it.

The switch is applied after the normal confirmation steps, so the confirmation email still goes to the person who placed the order, delivery documents are created with the addresses chosen at checkout, and the pricelist is not recalculated.

It only affects orders that come from the website and only extends the sales order model (sale.order); no new menus or screens are added. It installs automatically when both the sale contact and eCommerce modules are present.
