Cancel Archive and Delete Reason for Odoo 19

Cancel, Archive & Delete Reason

Require a reason before critical record actions

This module helps your team keep a clear audit trail for sensitive actions in Odoo. Configure rules for any regular model and require users to enter a reason before they cancel, archive, or delete records.

Cancel Reason

Ask users for a reason before document cancellation buttons are executed.

Archive Reason

Require a reason before records are archived from form or list views.

Delete Reason

Capture deletion reasons before records are removed from the system.

Audit History

Review action date, user, record, model, rule, and reason in one place.

How It Works

1. Create a Rule

Select the model, target user groups, minimum reason length, and actions to protect.

2. Ask for Reason

When a protected action is used, Odoo opens a reason popup before continuing.

3. Keep History

Each confirmed action is saved as a permanent audit entry for review.

Complete Feature Set

Configure accountable record actions without changing each business model separately.

  • Configure rules for any regular Odoo model.
  • Protect cancel, archive, and delete independently.
  • Apply rules to all users or selected security groups.
  • Set minimum reason length for better explanation quality.
  • Support actions from both form views and list views.
  • Save action type, model, record, user, date, rule, and reason.
  • Keep delete history even after the original record is removed.
  • Optionally post reasons to chatter when the model supports chatter.
  • Filter and group history by action, model, user, and date.
  • Use custom cancel method names for different business models.

Manage Reason Rules

Create multiple rules for different models and control which actions require a reason.

Action reason rules list

Configure Protected Actions

Choose the model, target groups, minimum reason length, chatter logging, and protected actions.

Action reason rule configuration

Reason Popup Before Action

When users try to delete, archive, or cancel a protected record, they must enter a reason first.

Reason required popup

Confirm with a Clear Reason

The action continues only after the user enters a reason that meets the configured minimum length.

Reason entered before confirmation

Review Reason History

All confirmed actions are recorded in a clean list with action type, model, record name, reason, and action date.

Detailed Audit Entry

Open any history entry to review the full reason, responsible user, date, model, record ID, and applied rule.

Compatibility

Built for Odoo 19. Works with Community, Enterprise, and Odoo.sh. Designed for standard Odoo models, custom models, and third-party modules.

Add Accountability to Important Actions

Cancel, Archive & Delete Reason gives administrators a practical way to prevent silent record changes and maintain a clear audit trail.
