This module allows to add a substate to sale order. For each sale order state you can define a substate. With this module substates can be defined allowing to extend the sales workflow. For example, you can add substate "waiting for legal documents" if the order cannot be validated without this document (sell a car for example).
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds a secondary status (substate) to quotations and sales orders, so you can track finer steps like "Waiting for legal documents" or "In delivering" on top of the standard Quotation/Sale status.
This module lets you define extra statuses, called substates, for quotations and sales orders. Each substate is attached to one of the standard order statuses, so you can only pick substates that match the current stage of the order.
Where it appears: - On the sales order form, a new status bar is shown under the main buttons, where you can click to change the substate. - In the quotations and orders lists, a new column shows the substate. - In the sales search filters, you can filter by substate and group orders by substate.
Business rules and automatic behaviour: - A substate type for sales orders is created automatically, linked to the order status field. - Two target statuses are preconfigured: Quotation and Sale. - Demo data provides example substates such as In negotiation, Won, Lost, Waiting for legal documents, To validate legal documents, In delivering and Delivered. - Two email templates are included: one asking the customer for legal documents, and one telling the customer the order is being prepared for delivery. These can be linked to a substate so the email is sent when that substate is set.
It touches the sales order model (sale.order) and the substate configuration model (base.substate.type).
