Approve Option in Contact Form

Contact Form with "Approve" Checkbox Enabled



In the Contacts module, a new checkbox labeled 'Approve' is visible. When checked, this contact (e.g., Abigail Peterson) becomes available for selection in Sales and Purchase orders.

Vendor Selection in Purchase Module

Only Approved Vendors Shown in Purchase Order Creation



When creating a Purchase Order, only approved contacts appear in the Vendor dropdown. Unapproved contacts are hidden, and the vendor list is restricted to ensure supplier validation.

Customer Selection in Sales Module

Only Approved Customers Shown in Sales Order/Quotation



In Sales Quotations or Orders, the Customer field displays only those contacts who have the 'Approve' checkbox selected. This filters the list to include only validated customers.

Daily Report Interface

A Boolean field 'Approve' is added to the contact form.

Workflow Icon

FAQ

What is the purpose of the 'Approve' checkbox in the Contacts module?

The 'Approve' checkbox in the Contacts module is used to control whether a contact can be selected in Sales and Purchase documents. Only contacts marked as approved (checkbox checked) will appear in the customer selection within the Sales module and the vendor selection within the Purchase module.

How do I approve a contact?

  • Go to the Contacts module.
  • Open the contact you want to approve.
  • Check the 'Approve' checkbox.
  • Save the contact.
What happens when a contact is not approved?

When a contact is not approved (i.e., the 'Approve' checkbox is unchecked), they will be hidden from the dropdown lists in the Sales and Purchase modules. This means they cannot be selected as a Customer in Sales Orders/Quotations or as a Vendor in RFQs and Purchase Orders.

Which Odoo versions are compatible with this feature?
