Introduction

The Replace Vendor on Purchase Order module enables seamless modifications to the vendor on confirmed purchase orders within Odoo. Traditionally, vendors cannot be changed after confirmation, but this module bypasses that limitation. By consolidating vendor updates across all linked documents—such as vendor bills, incoming deliveries, journal entries, and payments—it ensures consistency and saves time in the procurement workflows.

Key Features

  • Allows vendor changes on validated (confirmed) purchase orders.

  • Automatically updates vendor information across all associated records: bills, incoming shipments, journal entries, journal items, payments, and partner ledgers.

  • No additional configuration required; install and use out of the box.

  • Adds a “Change Vendor” button on confirmed purchase orders to trigger the workflow.

  • Includes a popup interface for selecting the new vendor and confirming the change.

Benefits

  • Simplifies correction of vendor errors on confirmed purchase orders.

  • Maintains data consistency across procurement and accounting documents.

  • Saves valuable time by automating updates across multiple records.

  • Reduces manual errors in financial processes.

  • Enhances auditability by ensuring all related entries reflect the correct vendor.

  • Improves operational agility with real-time vendor updates.

  • Supports cleaner record-keeping for financial and inventory workflows.

  • Eliminates the need to cancel and recreate purchase orders due to vendor mistakes.

  • Adaptable across both Odoo Community and Enterprise editions.
