Make Every Source Document Instantly Clickable
Turn the inert Source Document text on Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Deliveries, Manufacturing Orders and Invoices into live links — with a hover preview, a picker for multiple sources, and one-click back-to-source navigation.
The problem
Every transactional document in Odoo carries a Source Document reference back to where it came from, but standard Odoo renders it as plain text. Tracing a delivery back to its sales order, or a vendor bill back to its purchase order, means reading the reference, remembering its type, opening the right module, searching by number, and finally opening the record — five or six manual steps repeated dozens of times a day by warehouse, manufacturing, and accounts teams.
The solution
Source Clickable resolves that text back to the real record it names and renders it as a live link with a hover preview of the document type and number. When several sources feed one record it shows a picker instead of a dead end, and a back-to-source control lets you return to where you started — all with zero configuration, governed entirely by your existing access rights.
Everything You Need to Trace a Document
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Clickable Source Badges
The inert Source Document text on Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Deliveries, Manufacturing Orders and Invoices becomes a set of clickable badges pointing straight to the origin record.
Hover Preview Before You Click
Every badge carries a tooltip showing the document type and number, so you confirm the destination before you commit to the click.
Multi-Source Picker
When a record traces back to more than one origin — for example an invoice built from two sales orders — every source appears as its own badge in an inline picker instead of a single dead-end link.
One-Click Sources Stat Button
A Sources stat button on the form opens a full picker list when every linked source shares one model, or jumps straight to the single match, giving a second way in besides the inline badges.
Back-to-Source Navigation History
A Back to source link tracks up to the last eight hops in your browser session, so you can follow a chain of documents and return to where you started without re-navigating by hand.
Manufacturing Order Coverage
Manufacturing Orders are a first-class destination and host, so production planners can trace an MO back to its originating sale or procurement as easily as any other document.
Zero-Configuration Install
The module ships as a single mixin with no new model, no table, and no access rules to configure — navigation is governed entirely by each user's existing permissions on the target records.
Five Interlinked Document Types
Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Transfers, Manufacturing Orders, and Invoices/Bills are all covered as both clickable hosts and resolvable destinations, closing the multi-department gap competitors leave open.
How it works
Open Any Document
Open a Sales Order, Purchase Order, Transfer, Manufacturing Order, or Invoice that carries a Source Document reference.
See It Resolved
The reference is parsed automatically and rendered as one or more clickable badges, each labelled with its document type and number.
Click to Navigate
Click a badge to jump straight to that origin record, or use the Sources stat button when several sources share one model.
Jump Back Anytime
Use the Back to source link to return to the document you came from, following your last eight hops.
