Introduction
In Odoo, managing service-type products can often be challenging when it comes to tracking the quantity of services received or completed before invoicing. Unlike tangible goods, services don’t go through traditional stock movements, making it difficult to confirm their completion.
To overcome this challenge, the Service Receipt Tracker (SRN) module provides a structured way to record and verify the receipt of service-type products just like material receipts in the warehouse.
Why We Built This Module
In many businesses, services like maintenance, consulting, and outsourcing are billed based on completion. However, Odoo’s default setup doesn’t offer a mechanism to track the “receipt” of such services like it does for physical products.
This often leads to issues such as
Invoices being created before confirming service completion.
Lack of visibility into which services are received or pending.
No proper audit trail for partial or completed service receipts.
The Service Receipt Tracker module was designed to bridge this gap allowing users to acknowledge service receipt using a Service Receipt Note (SRN) system before invoicing.
Key Features
SRN (Service Receipt Note) Creation:
