Contract Line Successor

Production/Stable License: AGPL-3 OCA/contract Translate me on Weblate Try me on Runboat

Contract Line Successor extends contract.line model to support advanced contract lifecycle management, including suspension, successor planning, cancellation, and renewal.
It provides a flexible and robust framework for managing complex contract line scenarios in a clean and structured way.

Features

  • Successor and Predecessor Management

    • Link contract lines with successor and predecessor lines.

    • Plan successors automatically or manually after a stop or suspension.

  • Contract Line Lifecycle States

    • Manage contract lines with the following computed states:

      • Upcoming

      • In-Progress

      • To Renew

      • Upcoming Close

      • Closed

      • Canceled

  • Lifecycle Operations

    • Stop a contract line.

    • Plan a successor for a contract line.

    • Stop and plan a successor in one operation (useful for suspensions).

    • Cancel and un-cancel contract lines.

    • Renew contract lines automatically (new line or extension).

  • Auto-Renewal Handling

    • Auto-renewal based on company settings (extend existing line or create a new one).

    • Cron job to automate renewal of eligible contract lines.

  • Data Integrity and Validation

    • Prevent invalid successor or predecessor configurations.

    • Validate state transitions and date overlaps.

    • Ensure clean renewal and cancellation workflows.

Configuration

  • Auto-Renewal Strategy
    In the company settings, define whether renewing a contract line:
    • Extends the current line (updates date_end),

    • or creates a new successor contract line.

    Field:
    Company > Configuration > Contracts > Create new contract line at renewal
  • Scheduled Actions
    Ensure the scheduled action Contract Line: Auto Renew is activated if you want automatic renewal without manual intervention.

Usage

  1. Select a contract and enable the option “Recurrence at line level?”.

  2. Once enabled, you will have access to several actions at the contract line level:

    • Stop a contract line and optionally plan a successor.

    • Handle temporary suspensions and resume the contract line after the suspension period.

    • Cancel and un-cancel contract lines if necessary.

    • Renew contract lines either by extending the current line or by creating a new successor line automatically.
