Reorder Notifications

Stay on top of low-stock events triggered by Odoo’s reordering rules. A bell in the top bar shows unread notifications; click to open an inbox with details and a direct link to the RFQ/PO or MO. Opening a notification marks it as Opened automatically, so the counter stays accurate.

Why this module?

Stockouts and manual checking waste time. This module turns reorder triggers into actionable alerts, so buyers and planners can jump straight to the relevant document—no digging in menus or running reports.

Key features

• Systray bell with counter: see the number of unread reorder notifications at a glance.
• Inbox view: list of reorder events with product, orderpoint, action, quantity and UoM.
• Clickable document: open the related RFQ/PO or Manufacturing Order directly from the list or form.
• Auto “Opened” tracking: opening the notification form marks it as read; users can’t tick it manually from the list.
• Scheduler integration: notifications are created when the procurement scheduler generates RFQs/POs or MOs from orderpoints.
• Multi-company aware: counters and records respect the current company.
• Lightweight & native: implemented with OWL systray component and standard views—no wizards.

Supported flows

How it works

1. Define reordering rules (orderpoints) for products.
2. Run the Procurement Scheduler (manually or via cron).
3. When an RFQ/PO or MO is created from those rules, a notification is logged.
4. Click the bell → open the inbox → click the Document link to jump to the RFQ/PO or MO.
5. Opening the notification form auto-marks it as Opened, reducing the bell counter.
