Never Lose Track of a Pending RFQ

Auto-schedule three internal follow-up activities the moment an RFQ is sent to a vendor. Pending follow-ups close themselves when the order is confirmed or cancelled. Plus a per-vendor insight dashboard with rule-based smart suggestions.

LGPL-3 Odoo 19 CE & EE No external AI

What it does

  • Auto-creates 3 internal follow-up activities when you click "Send by Email" on an RFQ.
  • Configurable intervals — default day +2, +5, +10.
  • Auto-cleanup — activities close themselves when the order is confirmed or cancelled.
  • Manual button — "Schedule Follow-Ups" on the RFQ form for one-click rescheduling.
  • Smart Insights Dashboard — per-vendor stats (response rate, avg response days, pending, overdue) plus rule-based suggestion for tuning intervals.
  • No external dependencies, no external AI service — all "intelligence" is rule-based heuristics computed from your existing data.

Smart Suggestion — how it works

The dashboard computes each vendor's average response time (days from RFQ creation to PO confirmation) and applies a simple rule:

  • If avg response < your 2nd-interval setting → "Responds fast, consider tighter intervals"
  • If avg response > your 3rd-interval setting → "Responds slow, suggested intervals X / Y / Z"
  • Otherwise → "Matches default schedule"
  • Vendors with fewer than 3 historical RFQs get no suggestion (insufficient data)

100% rule-based. No LLM, no external API, no data leaves your Odoo instance.

Installation

  1. Place this module folder in your Odoo addons path.
  2. Restart Odoo and update the apps list.
  3. Install Purchase RFQ Follow-Up.
  4. Optionally adjust intervals in Settings > Purchase.

Support

This is a free, community-supported module released under LGPL-3. Issues and pull requests are welcome on GitHub.

Purchase RFQ Follow-Up · v19.0.1.0.0 · LGPL-3

Purchase RFQ Follow-Up

Auto-schedules three internal follow-up activities the moment a Purchase RFQ is sent to a vendor in Odoo 19. Pending follow-ups auto-close when the order is confirmed or cancelled. Includes a per-vendor insight dashboard with rule-based suggestions.

Features

  • Auto-creates 3 follow-up activities on RFQ send (default day +2, +5, +10).
  • Auto-closes pending follow-ups when the PO is confirmed or cancelled.
  • Per-database configuration under Settings > Purchase.
  • Manual Schedule Follow-Ups button on the RFQ form.
  • RFQ Follow-Up Insights dashboard under Purchase > Reporting.
  • Rule-based smart suggestion per vendor based on their historical response time.
  • LGPL-3, no external dependencies, no external AI service.

How it works

When a user clicks Send by Email on an RFQ, three mail.activity records are scheduled on the order at day +N1, +N2 and +N3 (default 2 / 5 / 10). Activities are tagged with the [PRF] marker in their summary so they can be identified and cleaned up later. When the order is confirmed or cancelled, every [PRF]-marked activity on that order is closed with a corresponding feedback message.

The dashboard reads existing purchase.order and mail.activity records and computes per-vendor metrics plus a rule-based smart suggestion. No external service is called.

Configuration

Open Settings > Purchase and locate Auto Follow-Up on Sent RFQ. Intervals must be positive and strictly increasing. The settings page validates this on save.

Compatibility

  • Odoo 19.0 Community and Enterprise.
  • Requires at least one mail.activity.type to exist.
