Overview

plm.box inherits from revision.plm.mixin, giving each box the same engineering code, revision number, and lifecycle state machine used by PLM products and documents. Boxes can be nested (parent/child via _parent_store) and can aggregate ir.attachment documents. A CSV structure field allows describing the expected content schema of a box.

This module also integrates with account, project, and sale to link boxes to accounting, project, and sales workflows.

Key Features

• Many-to-many relationship between boxes (parent/child boxes)
• Document attachments via ir.attachment one-to-many relation
