Archive: Retired Fleet Vehicles
Automatically archive end-of-life fleet vehicles daily — keeping your active fleet list clean and focused.
$5 / monthby Majorbird — Odoo Silver Partner
The Problem
Fleet managers routinely update a vehicle's state to "Downgraded" or "Retired" when it reaches end of life — but the record stays visible in the active fleet list. Over time, the list fills up with scrapped, sold, or decommissioned vehicles that clutter planning screens, maintenance schedules, and assignment workflows. Finding available, active vehicles becomes harder than it should be. Nobody archives records manually on a consistent basis.
What This Module Does
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Target model | fleet.vehicle (native Odoo Fleet module) |
| Condition | State = Downgraded (state_id value 4) — configurable per your fleet setup |
| Schedule | Daily cron — engine-driven via mjb_archive_rule |
| Action | Sets active = False on matching vehicles (native Odoo archive) |
| Reversibility | Archived vehicles are hidden but not deleted — recoverable via "Show Archived" filter |
| Module type | Pure data satellite (XML only) — no Python code |
Key Features
State-Based Condition
The archive rule targets vehicles matching a configurable state condition. The default is Downgraded (state 4) — easily changed to Sold, Scrapped, or any other state your fleet uses to indicate end of life.
Safe, Reversible Archive
Archiving sets active = False using Odoo's native mechanism. No records are deleted. Any archived vehicle can be restored instantly by enabling the "Show Archived" filter and unarchiving it.
Daily Automated Cleanup
The engine runs a daily scheduled action that scans fleet.vehicle records against the configured condition. The fleet list stays current automatically — no manual archiving needed from the fleet manager.
Zero-Code Satellite
This satellite is pure XML data — a preconfigured archive rule record for the mjb_archive_rule engine. Install it, verify the state condition matches your fleet, and the automation is live.
Configuration
Install mjb_archive_retired_vehicles. The engine mjb_archive_rule is a required dependency and installs automatically.
Go to Fleet → Configuration → Archive Rules. The pre-configured rule for retired vehicles is already present.
Confirm the condition matches the state your fleet uses for retired/end-of-life vehicles. Adjust the state_id domain if your setup uses a different state name or ID.
To view or restore an archived vehicle, go to Fleet → Vehicles, enable the Archived filter, and unarchive the record if needed. No data is lost.
Scope & Limitations
This module is intentionally focused. It does not:
- Delete vehicle records — archive only (safe and reversible)
- Archive associated service logs, contracts, or cost entries — those remain accessible
- Affect insurance or registration reminder notifications for the archived vehicles
- Work on fleet.vehicle.log or other fleet sub-models — targets vehicles only
- Run in real-time on state change — archiving happens once per day via the scheduled cron
First Version — Feedback Welcome
This is the first release of Archive: Retired Fleet Vehicles, tested on Odoo 19.0. If your fleet workflow uses multiple end-of-life states, needs real-time archiving on state change, or requires cascaded archiving of service history, your feedback helps us prioritise the next version.
