• Re: Partner Hierarchy module

  Contact relation is a tricky thing, takes a lot of insight and thinking as it relates to almost every area of odoo. It's master data, after all. 

  We also looked into the various OCA contact extensions, and they are great, but somtimes they were not enough to fulfill the needs of various customers. Thus we additionally created a contact location extension, contact ++, togheter with contact hierachy.

  In particular this can be helpful if a person is located in a company, but also works in a home office and is associated with a branch office of this organisation that is the regular work location of this contact. Electronic communication (phone/mail, etc) means are likewise related.

  
  

  BTW: Besides of 80 other enhancement,  as for 14 we now have developed and included a "studio" product and various shipping connectors into the ITISeasy.business distro. Lauching soon.

  when conceiving this originally, I did toy with a `transitive` checkbox, then 
  you could use transitive relations just like parent_of. But as the customer 
  lost interest in this feature, so did I. Maybe Daniel will add it?
  
  OTOH this case sounds more like composite relations: When partner A has 
  relation X with B, and B relation Y with C, then A and C have relation Z. This 
  also sounds like a very useful feature to have, and I think will be much less 
  computationally expensive to implement if you don't just store the transitive 
  closure above.

  p.s. partner in separate companies was meant to be a separate reply from our branch requirements 🙁 - Should have put a clearer divide....

  Subject: Partner Hierarchy module

   

  Hello,
  
  I'm quite sure there was an OCA module to enable multilevel Partner parent/child relations, but I'm not finding it right now.
  Use cases are Partner structures like: Holding company / Company / Branch Office / Contact.
  
  Am I missing something?
  
  Thanks!

• Re: Partner Hierarchy module

  Morning,

  
  

  Slightly off topic, but not entirely, we are looking at migrating the contact in several companies to v14, and it is not on the to be migrated list, does anyone know why?

  
  

  Internally, we have created a "holding compamy" module, but would be interested in an OCA inspired solution.

  
  

  We have a link between "branch" and "holding company", and then they can obvioulsy have their standard contacts beneath.  The nice things we added are:

  
  

  Check boxes on "does the invoice accumulate with the branch or the holding company", "statements go to branch / holding company" (some franchises want them to behave differently) , meaning on a case by case basis the call can be made to send the invoice up the chain or to the holding company.  We also have mods in the purchasing side to allow holding companies to have purchase prices, and when a PO goes to a branch, it uses the holding company's pricelist to buy.

  
  

  This has real use when dealing with "stores" from one chain, or "franchises".  These are common structures where two "company" entities need to be associated with each other.

  
  

  Richard

• Re: Partner Hierarchy module

  Completely agree with you Holger

  
  No hierarchy in the sense of parent_of though with https://github.com/OCA/partner-contact/tree/13.0/partner_multi_relation

  
  

  Only feedback, in environments with the granularity requested on the partners, we simultaneously have requests for qualifications of relations between partners without any parent relations as funders, investors, administrators ... and partner_multi_relation module is a good complement :)
