Purchase Backdate and Postdate in Odoo | Accurate PO & Custom Order Tracking

Gain full control over your procurement timeline with the Purchase Backdate and Postdate in Odoo module. Standard Odoo locks the Purchase Order Date to the day of its creation, which can cause discrepancies in cost tracking and reporting, especially when processing a late entry for a purchase order. This app empowers you to break free from that restriction by allowing you to set any past or future date for your purchase orders.

This essential tool ensures your purchase entry data aligns perfectly with your real-world operations. Whether you need to record a PO that was placed last week or schedule one for an upcoming delivery, you can now maintain a flawless order recording system. With powerful features to sync receipt and vendor bill dates, and enforce mandatory notes for compliance, this module is a must-have for any business focused on accurate date tracking and transparent procurement.
