|
Specifying terms and conditions is essential to establish important contractual points, such as
|
||||||
terms, limitation of liability and delivery terms between customers and sellers. Every seller must
|
payment terms, limitations of liability, and delivery terms between customers and sellers.
|
||||||
declare all formal information concerning products and company policy. On the other hand, each
|
|
||||||
customer must take note of all these conditions before committing to anything. With Odoo Sales, it
|
|
||||||
is very easy to include your default terms and conditions on every quotation, sales order, and
|
|
||||||
invoice that you manage.

According to your business needs, you can specify your terms and conditions on your quotation

templates. This is interesting if you have different terms and conditions within your company.

|

|
Default terms and conditions can be applied to quotation templates, as well, depending on the
|
||||||
|
specific needs of the business. This is useful when various terms and conditions are used within a
|
||||||
|
company.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. note::
|
||||||
|
When a quotation template is used on a quotation, the quotation uses the terms and conditions
|
||||||
|
specified on that template, over the terms and conditions specified in the settings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First, navigate to the :menuselection:`Sales app --> Configuration --> Quotation Templates` to view
|
||||||
|
all the quotation templates. From here, either select a template or create a new one, via the
|
||||||
|
:guilabel:`Create` button.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once on the desired quotation template form, click :guilabel:`Edit`, and enter in specific terms and
|
||||||
|
conditions that should be applied to this quotation template, at the bottom of the :guilabel:`Lines`
|
||||||
|
tab. Once done, click :guilabel:`Save` to save all changes.

General Terms & Conditions

==========================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
GT&C on your website
|
|
||||||
--------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Use the **Website App** and create your own general terms and conditions page. For example, here is
|
|
||||||
the Odoo terms and conditions page:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
:alt: General Terms & Conditions on your website
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can refer to this page in the footer of all your documents. The layout is available in the
|
|
||||||
**General Settings** under the **Business Documents** category. For example, this footer appears
|
|
||||||
in every document from Odoo.

GT&C as attachment in your emails
|
|
||||||
---------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Attach an external document with your general terms and conditions when you are about to send your
|
|
||||||
quotation by email to your customers.

GT&C as attachment in your quotation templates
|
|
||||||
----------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Create and edit email templates to set a default attachment for all quotation emails that you
|
|
||||||
will send in the future. To do so, you have to go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Configuration
|
|
||||||
--> Quotation templates` and create a new quotation template or modify an existing one. Under
|
|
||||||
the confirmation tab, you are now able to activate online signatures, online payments and to set
|
|
||||||
a confirmation mail in which you have the possibility to configure the default attachment.
|
|
||||||
There, you can put your general terms & conditions.

|
|
||||||
To customize your email templates, activate the **developer mode** and
|
|
||||||
go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Technical --> Email --> Templates`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
With Odoo Sales it is now very simple to deal with terms & conditions.

Attachment on confirmation emails
|
||||||
|
---------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Terms and conditions can also be sent as an attachment on the confirmation email of a quotation
|
||||||
|
template.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To do so, navigate to :menuselection:`Sales app --> Configuration --> Quotation Templates` and
|
||||||
|
create a new quotation template (via the :guilabel:`Create` button), or modify an existing one.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On the desired quotation template form, click :guilabel:`Edit`. Under the :guilabel:`Confirmation`
|
||||||
|
tab, there are options to activate an :guilabel:`Online Signature`, :guilabel:`Online Payment`, and
|
||||||
|
:guilabel:`Confirmation Mail`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Click on the :guilabel:`Confirmation Mail` field to reveal a drop-down menu from which an email
|
||||||
|
template can be chosen or created. To create a new email template from here, start typing the name
|
||||||
|
of this new template, and then select :guilabel:`Create and Edit...`, which reveals a
|
||||||
|
:guilabel:`Create: Confirmation Mail` pop-up form.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On this pop-up form, customize the email message in a number of different ways, but be sure to click
|
||||||
|
:guilabel:`Attachments` at the bottom of the :guilabel:`Content` tab to add the desired terms and
|
||||||
|
conditions attachment to the mailing. Once done, click :guilabel:`Save` to save all changes.

Website page
|
||||||
|
============
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use the Odoo *Website* application to create a terms and conditions page. To do that, first navigate
|
||||||
|
to the front-end of the website, via :menuselection:`Website app --> Go to Website`. From here,
|
||||||
|
click :guilabel:`+ New` in the top right corner of the page, then select :guilabel:`Page`. Give the
|
||||||
|
terms and conditions page a title in the pop-up form that appears.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then, decide if this page should be accessible via the main website header menu, using the
|
||||||
|
:guilabel:`Add to menu` toggle in the pop-up form, and click :guilabel:`Continue` to create the new
|
||||||
|
page.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Doing so reveals a blank page on the website that can be fully customized and edited with Odoo's
|
||||||
|
drag-and-drop building blocks. Use those building blocks to add the terms and conditions to the
|
||||||
|
page, and click :guilabel:`Save` to save all changes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Don't forget to publish the page, via the :guilabel:`Unpublished` / :guilabel:`Published` toggle at
|
||||||
|
the top of the page. Unpublished pages will **not** be accessible to website visitors.
|
||||||

||||||

|
:alt: Terms and Conditions on a website.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This terms and conditions page can be linked in the footer of all documents, if desired. To do that,
|
||||||
|
access the document layout by navigating to the :menuselection:`Settings` app. In the
|
||||||
|
:guilabel:`General Settings`, under the :guilabel:`Business Documents` heading, click
|
||||||
|
:guilabel:`Configure Document Layout` (located beneath :guilabel:`Document Layout`).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Doing so reveals a :guilabel:`Configure your document layout` pop-up form. On this form, in the
|
||||||
|
:guilabel:`Footer` field, enter the URL for the terms and conditions page on the website.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's good practice to also provide a brief title prefacing the URL, so customers know what the link
|
||||||
|
leads to when they see it on the footer of documents.

Email attachments
|
||||||
|
=================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Odoo provides the ability to attach an external document, such as one containing terms and
|
||||||
|
conditions, when quotations are sent by email to customers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On a quotation, sales order, or other document, click the :guilabel:`Send by Email` button to send
|
||||||
|
an email to the customer. Then, on the email form, click :guilabel:`Attach a File` to attach the
|
||||||
|
terms and conditions document.
