"Where did that customer go?" Archiving hides a record from everyone in one click, and Odoo keeps no trace of who did it. This module posts a short note in the record's chatter every time it is archived or restored — the user and the moment, permanently. Free and open source (LGPL-3), Odoo 14.0 through 19.0.

• Zero configuration — works on every model with a chatter and an active flag.
• Only real changes — re-saving an already archived record logs nothing.
• Batch safe — archiving fifty records logs on each of them.
• Never blocks work — if logging fails for any reason, archiving still succeeds.

Screenshots

Every archive and restore is written to the record’s chatter — who did it and exactly when, kept with the record forever.

Installation

1. Open Apps, search for Archive Audit Trail and click Install.
2. Only the standard mail module is required.

Configuration

1. None. Logging starts immediately.
2. To pause it, set the System Parameter archive_audit_trail.enabled to False.

Usage

1. Archive any record (customer, product, employee, pricelist) from the Action menu or its form.
2. Open the record and read its chatter: a note names who archived it and when.
3. Restoring the record logs a matching note, so the full history stays in one place.

Version notes

Identical behavior on every supported series (14.0 – 19.0).
