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.

Capabilities

Everything You Need to Trace a Document

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

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.

08

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.

Workflow

How it works

1

Open Any Document

Open a Sales Order, Purchase Order, Transfer, Manufacturing Order, or Invoice that carries a Source Document reference.

2

See It Resolved

The reference is parsed automatically and rendered as one or more clickable badges, each labelled with its document type and number.

3

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.

4

Jump Back Anytime

Use the Back to source link to return to the document you came from, following your last eight hops.
