Re: subscription or contracts?

I think the contrary: contract is there for long time and it's rock solid, while subscription_oca is way far away in terms of features than the other. The only argument for now is that subscription_oca is simpler, which is true, but that's also because it has less features. And adding such features will get to the same complexity of contract. I agree things can be improved, like hiding some features like predecessor/successor under configuration options (or even extract it to another module), but that's something that is also "simple to improve".

Regards.

  • subscription or contracts?
    Hi!
    I would like to use some functionality of recurring sales and/or 
    recurring invoices. Looking at [1] I see "contract*" and 
    subscription_oca. Both seem to do pretty much the same and I'm wondering 
    which one to use.
    
    Subscriptions seem to be a bit easier to use. But are there any 
    technical aspects which one solution can do but not the other?
    
    It seems that subscription_oca matches the official documentation [2] so 
    maybe it's an OCA maintained former Odoo SA implementation? And 
    contracts are an independent implementation? In this case which one has 
    the more promising future path?
    
    Best regards,
    Jan
