About this Product
Most teams running Odoo end up managing real contracts in a patchwork: PDFs on a shared drive, renewal dates in a spreadsheet, approvals over email, and no single record that ties an agreement to the invoices it generates. Odoo core gives you sale.subscription (Enterprise) for recurring revenue and the documents/sign apps for storage and signing, but none of that models a contract as a first-class object with versions, a negotiated clause set, milestone obligations, expiry windows, and an audit trail. When a renewal slips or an SLA breach goes unnoticed, the cost is revenue leakage and disputes — not a missing feature you can toggle on.
ECOSIRE builds a dedicated Contract Lifecycle module that adds a proper contract.agreement model (with contract.version, contract.clause, and contract.milestone companions) on top of your existing Odoo. Contracts are assembled from reusable templates and a versioned clause library, moved through a configurable state machine (draft → review → approved → signed → active → expired/renewed) with approval steps enforced by record rules, and signed through Odoo's native sign request flow or an integrated e-sign provider over the JSON-RPC/XML-RPC API. Every edit creates an immutable version snapshot so you always know what was agreed and when. @api.depends computed fields derive next-renewal and next-milestone dates; ir.cron automated actions raise activity reminders and email alerts (via QWeb templates) ahead of expiry, notice periods, and milestone due dates.
On the money side, an active contract links to Odoo's recurring-invoicing engine so agreed lines, billing frequency, and price escalations generate account.move drafts on schedule — with SLA terms (response/resolution targets, penalties) recorded on the contract and surfaced to Helpdesk or Project where relevant. Access is governed by ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so sales, legal, and finance each see the right slice, and a customer/vendor portal controller (extending /my) lets counterparties view their own contracts, download the signed PDF (rendered via a QWeb report), and see upcoming renewals — without a backend login. Everything is delivered as a clean, upgrade-safe module: no core patches, standard ORM and view inheritance only.
Because this is build-to-order, we start from your actual contract types and approval reality rather than a generic template. After a short scoping call we confirm the models, states, clause taxonomy, alert cadence, and billing rules, then build against your Odoo version (17.0, 18.0, or 19.0) and Community or Enterprise edition. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. You get the installable source, a staging UAT pass with a rollback plan, documentation, a training session, and a post-go-live support window — plus the git repository so the module is yours to keep and extend.

Who this is for
Legal & Contracts Manager
Owns wording and risk. Needs a controlled clause library, enforced approvals, immutable versions, and an audit trail proving exactly what was agreed and when — without chasing PDFs across email.
Finance & Revenue Controller
Cares about recurring billing and leakage. Needs contracts linked to scheduled `account.move` generation, price-escalation rules, and renewal alerts so no agreement bills wrong or lapses silently.
Operations / Service Delivery Lead
Manages obligations and SLAs. Needs milestone tracking, SLA terms surfaced on Helpdesk/Project tickets, and expiry/notice alerts so commitments are met and renewals are actioned on time.
Odoo Administrator / IT Owner
Responsible for the platform. Needs a clean, non-core-patching module with clear access rules, a documented data model, and a git handover that stays upgrade-safe across 17/18/19.
How Contract Lifecycle & Recurring Agreement Management for Odoo Compares
| Criterion | ECOSIRE | Custom Build | Competitor | Odoo Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contract as a first-class record | Dedicated `contract.agreement` model with states, versions, clauses, milestones | Possible, but you design and maintain the whole data model yourself | Often a thin add-on over notes or subscriptions | No native contract object — spread across Subscriptions, Sign, Documents |
| Versioning & audit trail | Immutable version snapshots with diff and full chatter history | Only if you build snapshot logic deliberately | Usually last-write-wins, no true version history | Chatter tracking on fields, but no contract version model |
| Clause library & approvals | Governed clause library plus threshold-based approval routing | Buildable but a large scope to get right | Basic template text; limited approval control | None — free-text on quotations or documents |
| Renewal, expiry & milestone alerts | `ir.cron` activities and QWeb email alerts on your cadence | You write and tune every scheduled action | Simple expiry reminders, if any | Manual — rely on someone remembering a date |
| Linked recurring invoicing & SLA | Scheduled `account.move` drafts, escalations, SLA terms on the contract | Wire it into billing yourself | Rarely ties SLA to billing in one record | Subscriptions bill, but disconnected from contract terms/SLA |
| Portal access for counterparties | `/my/contracts` controller with record-rule-scoped view and signed PDF | Extra controller and security work per project | Frequently backend-only | No contract portal view |
| Fit to your process | Built to your contract types, states, and rules from a scoping call | Fully bespoke, but you own all analysis and risk | Generic; you bend your process to the module | Whatever core happens to support |
| Ownership & upgrade safety | Full source + git handover, no core patches, built for 17/18/19 | You own it but also all maintenance debt | Vendor-locked; upgrades depend on the publisher | Upgrade-safe but lacks the capability entirely |
Frequently Asked Questions about Contract Lifecycle & Recurring Agreement Management
How is this different from Odoo's Subscriptions or the Sign app?
Odoo Enterprise Subscriptions handles recurring revenue and the Sign app handles signing, but neither models a contract as a first-class record with versions, a clause library, approval states, milestone obligations, and expiry logic. This module adds that layer and links back into recurring invoicing and e-sign, so you keep Odoo's engines but gain real lifecycle management on top.
How long does delivery take?
This is a build-to-order module, not an instant download. After a scoping call to confirm your contract types, states, clause taxonomy, alert cadence, and billing rules, typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. Larger scopes with heavy integrations may run longer, and we agree the timeline in writing before we start.
Does it work on my Odoo version and edition?
Yes. We build for Odoo 17.0, 18.0, or 19.0, on Community or Enterprise. Some capabilities lean on Enterprise apps (for example native Sign or Subscriptions); on Community we implement equivalent flows or integrate an external e-sign provider. We confirm exactly what applies to your setup during scoping.
What about support and updates after go-live?
Every build includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration questions. Because you receive the full source and git repository, your team can extend it freely. We also offer optional ongoing support and version-upgrade retainers if you'd rather we maintain it across future Odoo releases.
Will it modify or break Odoo core?
No. We build as a standard add-on using ORM models, view and model inheritance, `ir.model.access.csv`, record rules, and `ir.cron` — no monkey-patching of core files. That keeps the module upgrade-safe and reviewable. We validate everything on a staging copy with a rollback plan before touching production.
Can customers and vendors see their own contracts?
Yes. A portal controller extends the `/my` area so counterparties log into the portal and view only their own agreements, download the signed PDF (a QWeb report), and see upcoming renewal and milestone dates — all governed by record rules, with no backend user seat required.
Can it integrate with our other systems?
Yes. Contracts can be created, updated, or queried through Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API, and we can add server actions or scheduled jobs to sync with CRM, Sales, or external contract sources. We scope any third-party integration up front so the effort and timeline are clear.
