Functional user guide

Who should use it​

This module is relevant to people responsible for incoterm processes, company configuration, and result review. Administrators should participate whenever dependencies, permissions, or sequences are introduced.

What you will be able to do​

After configuration, you will be able to identify the records added by incoterm, execute actions in the correct state, and understand the information shared with other modules.

Requirements and preparation​

Before activation, verify company, currency, users, and groups. Install and configure required dependencies first. When real data exists, rehearse activation and upgrades on a restored copy.

Activate dependencies first, review company configuration, and rehearse the complete workflow before production use.

Required dependencies​

  • company — must be installed and configured before testing this module.
  • country — must be installed and configured before testing this module.
  • ir — must be installed and configured before testing this module.
  • party — must be installed and configured before testing this module.

Typical workflow​

  1. Select the correct company and date before creating a document.
  2. Complete master data before lines or details.
  3. Use form buttons for state changes; saving is not the same as validating or posting.
  4. Review warnings, totals, related documents, and traceability.
  5. Verify effects on dependent modules before closing the process.

Actions, states, and wizards​

  • quotation — action or transition that starts quotation. Check permissions, current state, and related records before running it.
  • received — action or transition that starts received. Check permissions, current state, and related records before running it.
  • waiting — action or transition that starts waiting. Check permissions, current state, and related records before running it.

Controls before production​

  • Define who creates, reviews, confirms, cancels, and reads.
  • Test closed periods, unauthorized users, and incomplete data.
  • Verify numbering, currency, rounding, and time zone where applicable.
  • Document error correction without direct database edits.
  • Include its tables and files in backup and restore procedures.

Troubleshooting​

  • If a menu is missing, verify activation, module-list update, groups, and a new login session.
  • If a field rejects a value, inspect its domain, company, state, and configured dependencies.
  • If a button is hidden or disabled, check permissions and valid transitions; never change state with SQL.
  • If results differ, reproduce a minimal case and compare related records before and after.
  • Keep the full traceback, version, active modules, and minimal data needed to diagnose an error.

Developer guide

Architecture and extension points​

The package contains 26 Python classes and declares or extends 19 models. It uses Boolean, Char, Function, Many2Many, Many2One, One2Many, Selection. Developers should first determine whether a class creates a model or uses PoolMeta to extend one, preserve super() calls, and avoid duplicating dependency rules.

Test plan​

  • Activation on an empty database and upgrade from the previous revision.
  • Create, update, copy, and delete according to state and access rights.
  • Every button, transition, and wizard with valid and invalid scenarios.
  • Applicable multi-company rules, translations, time zones, and currencies.
  • Combined installation with required and optional dependencies.
  • Backup and restore of records, attachments, and generated reports.

Compatibility and upgrades​

Keep server and modules on series 8.0. Before upgrading, compare tryton.cfg, __register__ migrations, state changes, XML IDs, and permissions. A successful build does not replace a rehearsed migration or functional data reconciliation.
