Archive/unarchive partner contacts hierarchically

Partner Archive Propagate

Partner Archive Propagation

This module extends the native archiving mechanism for partners.

When archiving a company or parent contact, it will also handle its descendants according to business rules — with user control and safeguards.

Features

• Adds a new “Archive Contact and Children” button on the Partner form.

• Shows a wizard listing contact-type descendants before archiving.

• Automatically skips descendants linked to active users.

• Adds a technical Many2one field (propagated_from_id) that records which parent partner caused the automatic archiving, making propagation fully traceable and reversible.

• Ensures automatic unarchive propagation.

• Includes a system setting to enforce propagation even for non-UI actions (imports, RPC, automated jobs, etc.).

Configuration

• Go to Settings → Technical → General Settings → Partner Archive Propagate.

• Enable “Force propagation outside UI” to automatically apply propagation when partners are archived through automation or imports.

Usage

1. Open a partner (company or main contact).

2. Click the “Archive Contact and Children” button.

3. Review the list of child contacts to be archived.

4. Confirm the action. * Non-contact types (e.g., invoice/delivery addresses) are archived silently. * Contact-type descendants appear in the wizard for review.

Unarchiving also follows propagation rules: if a parent partner is unarchived, its propagated descendants are unarchived as well.
