HI,

For your logistics project in Odoo 16, since you don’t require inventory management, it’s better to focus on a custom delivery note model rather than relying heavily on Sales and Inventory modules. This model can record essential trip details such as customer, delivery address, delivery date, driver, and trip cost, serving as the central document for your workflow.

You can implement a simple workflow (Draft → Delivered → Validated) so the delivery driver can update the record via the mobile app and have the customer digitally acknowledge receipt. Once validated, the delivery note can be linked to the Accounting module or a Sales Order for invoicing.

While it’s possible to adapt Sales Orders and Delivery Orders by stripping down unnecessary fields, this approach may add unnecessary complexity. The recommended best practice is either to create a dedicated custom delivery note model tied to invoicing or lightly adapt existing Sales/Delivery workflows, avoiding unneeded inventory functionality.

Hope it helps
