Product Contract Section

Use Cases / Context

• Business need:
  • quotations are often structured with sections and notes to group the services offered,
  • when the sale is confirmed and a contract is generated, that structure should be kept so the contract and its invoices read like the quotation.
• Approach:
  • hook into the contract generation of product_contract,
  • recreate the section and note lines on the generated contract(s).
• Useful information:
  • depends on product_contract,
  • works well together with contract_layout_category_hide_detail, which also propagates the per-section display settings.

Usage

• Create a sale order with contract products and organise its lines with sections and notes.
• Confirm the order (or use Create Contract) to generate the contract(s).
• The generated contract(s) reproduce the order’s sections and notes:
  • a section appears on the contract of each product it spans (up to the next section), so a section shared by several contracts is repeated in each,
  • a note appears on the contract of the product line above it.
• When upselling or downselling an existing contract from a new sale order:
  • a section the contract already has is not duplicated,
  • a new section present on the order is added to the contract.

Known issues / Roadmap

• contract_sale_generation extension module: pass sections from contract to sales
