Hello everyone,

I have a question about the invoice status in sales orders in Odoo.

Background:

We develop software, which we sell in various modules. Additionally, we offer development services. Many of our customers purchase software modules and request customizations or, for example, commissioning on specific hardware.

Process:

I start by creating a quotation, selecting products and services, and then sending it to the customer. When the customer places an order, I confirm the quotation in Odoo.

At this point, the invoice status changes to "Billable," which is problematic because the software delivery and service implementation (via a project) must be completed first before the invoice can be issued.

My Test:

I tried addressing this issue by creating a project with an open task. Then, I created a quotation linked to this project. However, the invoice status still changes to "Billable" immediately after confirming the quotation.

My Question:

Do you have any ideas on how we can adjust this process so that the invoice status only changes to "Billable" after the software delivery is complete and the services have been implemented?

We are using the community version of Odoo, version 17.

Thank you in advance for your support!
