I am using Odoo 18.0


This is either obscure or not possible - I want to set a 10 minute buffer between appointments booked to allow staff a break between calls.


Where is this set?

Perhaps, this third-party alternative - https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/18.0/business_appointment - will be worth your consideration. It has the "checkout period" feature as well as many other advanced slots generation features

This is something we have introduced for Odoo 19.0

You will be able to create slots inside the scheduled availability times.

  • if a slot is created with an interval less than the appointment duration, there will be multiple start times available.

​EXAMPLE: a schedule of 9am to 12pm with a duration of an hour and an interval of 15 minutes
​will create slots available for booking at 9am, 9:15am, 9:30am, 9:45am, etc

  • if a slot is created with an interval greater than the appointment duration, there will be a buffer between appointments.

​EXAMPLE: a schedule of 9am to 12pm with a duration of an hour and an interval of 75 minutes
​will create a 15 minute buffer between appointments.


Odoo 19.0 will be released September 18th this year and you will have the option for a free upgrade some time after the release.

This seems to be a partial solution.
The way it works in Odoo 19.0 put into words: "every [interval] minutes, we provide a slot that is [duration] in length".
What is actually requested in this ticket: "when a resource is booked for [duration] in length, make sure that no bookings can be made for this resource for [padding] minutes before and after this booking"

So something that we cannot do:
A schedule of 9am to 12pm with a duration of an hour and an interval of 15 minutes, and a minimum of 15 minutes between bookings
Either we have to choose to create slots at 9:00, 10:15, ...
Or we will have slots at 9:00, 9:15, ...; but a booking of 10:00-11:00 will not result in the remaining 9:00-10:00 and 11:00-12:00 being unavailable (since we want the resource to be blocked for 9:45-11:15)
