I have a work flow where it necesarry to edit sales orders, but I see that editing is not available by default.
The reason that I need sales orders to be editable is because there are usually changes between what the customer ordered and what we eventually supply to him. For example, he ordered 1kg of tomatoes but supply him 1.1kg of tomatoes (because fresh produce is usually not accurate in weight). This is normal and accepted by the customers but in OpenERP we can't edit the sales orders to update the ammounts (also, we some times can't supply certain products so they need to go off the sales order).
In short, we need the ability to edit sales orders. Is this possible? What complications might this incur? One foreseeable issue is that it would be wise to turn off the automatic triggering of delivery orders because they would have wrong amounts otherwise.
Thanks, Shahar
I'm thinking that perhaps the sales order should not change. Perhaps only the invoice should change but what about the delivery orders, then? I'm not even sure that we require delivery orders. They are internal documents, aren't they? Or are they the same thing as delivery certificate?
So if editing sales orders is not recommended because it will lead to inconsistencies, then where should I make the edit? In the invoice?
II don't need to edit sales orders. What I needed was the "invoice by delivery orders". I needed to rephrase the question: help.openerp.com/question/12332/how-to-handle-a-workflow-in-which-changes-to-customer-orders-during-packaging-are-the-norm
Did you consider creating a new sales order for the differences between the initial one and the actual deliveries? I know it is not highly elegant, but... The new SO would need to make reference to the first one for auditing purposes.
