Partner Archive Propagation

This module extends the native archiving mechanism for partners.

When archiving a company or parent contact, it will also handle its descendants according to business rules — with user control and safeguards.

Features

  • Adds a new “Archive Contact and Children” button on the Partner form.
  • Shows a wizard listing contact-type descendants before archiving.
  • Automatically skips descendants linked to active users.
  • Adds a technical Many2one field (propagated_from_id) that records which parent partner caused the automatic archiving, making propagation fully traceable and reversible.
  • Ensures automatic unarchive propagation.
  • Includes a system setting to enforce propagation even for non-UI actions (imports, RPC, automated jobs, etc.).

Table of contents

Configuration

  • Go to Settings → Technical → General Settings → Partner Archive Propagate.
  • Enable “Force propagation outside UI” to automatically apply propagation when partners are archived through automation or imports.

Usage

  1. Open a partner (company or main contact).
  2. Click the “Archive Contact and Children” button.
  3. Review the list of child contacts to be archived.
  4. Confirm the action. * Non-contact types (e.g., invoice/delivery addresses) are archived silently. * Contact-type descendants appear in the wizard for review.

Unarchiving also follows propagation rules: if a parent partner is unarchived, its propagated descendants are unarchived as well.
