Create quotations directly from the task in field service of Odoo

Every business organization is liable to provide field support to its customers if necessary or outsource them. To manage the field service schedules, employees, technicians, quotations, and invoices come as an unorthodox way of doing business. But the Odoo platform has systematically allowed the users to manage their field service activities with the help of the field service module. The user can manage the schedule of the field services and allocate technicians and employees without disrupting the workflow. Moreover, the technician or the employee can create and issue invoices for the services and the products being used for the service directly from the field. The field module allows the users to create and send sales quotations directly from the field to the customer.

If the details entered are being verified by the employee and the customer the invoice required can be created in favor of the company to the customer. Upon selecting to create an invoice the user is initially directed to the payment selection menu where the employee can select the payment method from direct payments or down payments in fixed percentage or a fixed amount. On selecting the payment method the employee is directed to the invoice which can be edited and modified and also can be discarded.


The invoice can be sent via email or handed over by taking a printout of the same. In case the employee wishes to send the invoice via email a custom email template appears which can be edited as per the need.
