Sales Backdate and Postdate in Odoo | Accurate SO & Custom Order Tracking

Tired of being locked into today's date for every sale entry? The Sales Backdate and Postdate in Odoo module gives you full control over your sales timeline. By default, Odoo restricts the Quotation Date to the day of creation, leading to inaccuracies in reporting, especially when dealing with a late entry or pre-orders. This app unlocks that limitation, allowing you to set any past or future date for your sales orders.

This powerful tool ensures your sales entry data is perfectly aligned with your actual business operations. Whether you need to correct an order from last week or schedule one for next month, you can now maintain a precise order recording system. With added features to sync delivery and invoice dates, and enforce mandatory remarks, this module is essential for any business that values accurate date tracking and compliant audit trails.

Detailed Features

Unlock Sales Order Dates This module's core function removes the restriction on the Quotation Date field in Odoo. Upon installation, users can freely select any past date to account for a late entry or a future date for scheduled orders. When the order is confirmed, this selected date becomes the official Order Date.
Automated Date Synchronisation Achieve complete data consistency with minimal effort. From the settings menu, you can enable options to:
  • Set Invoice Date Same as Order Date: Ensures that when you create an invoice from the backdated SO, its date automatically matches the Order Date.
  • Set Delivery Date Same as Order Date: Automatically updates the scheduled date on the delivery order to match the backdated Order Date.
Enforce Context with Custom Remarks Maintain transparency and improve your audit trail. The app allows you to add a custom remarks field to the sales order. You can even make these remarks mandatory from the settings, ensuring that any user who backdates an order must provide a reason for the change. These remarks are automatically carried over to the corresponding delivery orders and invoices.
Efficient Bulk Backdating For businesses that need to update many orders at once, the "Multiple Assign Backdate" feature is a massive time-saver. Users with the appropriate technical permissions can select multiple quotations from the list view and apply a new date to all of them simultaneously through the 'Action' menu.
