Odoo Keep Initial Address For Orders

By default, Odoo keeps only one shipping and delivery addresses for a customer on all his sales orders and invoices. So, anytime a customer changes any of the addresses on his account, it gets updated on all his previous sales orders as well and the initial address gets lost. The receipt thus produced would reflect the new address. This can also cause a problem during cross-checking the orders and in making reports.

Our Odoo Keep initial address for orders module provides an easy solution by saving the original shipping and delivery address used by the customer while placing any order. So, even if the customer updates the address later, you can always find the correct address details for the particular order and easily print out the sales invoice and Sales Order receipt.

It also allows the admin to update the delivery and shipping addresses on the previous orders from the same customer without any initial address.

• Adds an additional field- ‘Initial Address’ in the sales orders to store the addresses used in the order.
• The admin can select multiple orders from the same customer and bulk update the initial address for orders.
• Facilitates generation of the sales invoice and Sales Order receipt with the original shipping and delivery address used at the time placing the order.
• Eliminates the need to manually add the shipping address of the customer in case he updates it.
