[RFC] Contract Sales about contract

[pedrobaeza]

You already have project_task_material/project_task_material_stock for consuming products and sale_service_project for generating task from Sales Orders. What does this module add?

[angelmoya]

Create recurring sale orders from contract, instead of create invoices

[angelmoya]

project_task_material is right, but I prefer to create sale order because this way I can create a picking and invoice delivery qty

[pedrobaeza]

project_task_material_stock create stock moves, but you're right that the track is not the same as with sales order.

The module should be called contract_sale_generation for being more explicit, as you can have also sales orders that generates contracts.

[angelmoya]

OK, nice.

I started to do it keeping it simple.

I create a type field on contract that could be sale or invoice, and contract generate sale or invoice.

Next steeps:

• Define recurring periods on lines, I think this functionality could be nice on contract module
• Define type on lines

[pedrobaeza]

For several periods, you can define several contracts and use the module https://github.com/OCA/contract/tree/9.0/contract_invoice_merge_by_partner. Any way, it can be one possibility for keeping all in one document, but you will complicate a lot the logic.

Several types (sales order/invoice) by line is also to complicate too much I think.
