📋 Description
Extension of OCA sale_order_line_date module with custom report templates. Enables individual delivery commitment dates per sales order line, critical for Van Thiel's custom manufacturing workflow.
🎯 Business Challenge
Van Thiel manufactures custom products with varying lead times. Standard Odoo only supports one delivery date per order, but customers need per-product commitments for mixed orders.
💡 Solution Approach

- Per-Line Dates: Commitment date on each SO line
- Report Integration: Dates visible on printed quotations
- Customer Communication: Clear delivery expectations
- Production Planning: Manufacturing schedules per product
🔧 Technical Implementation
Report template customization extending OCA base:
- Depends on OCA
sale_order_line_date - Custom QWeb templates in
reports/sale_order_report.xml - Per-line date display on quotations
- Integration with stock module for delivery tracking
📊 Results & Impact
Customers receive accurate per-product delivery commitments. Production planning improved with clear line-level deadlines. Customer satisfaction increased through transparent communication.
