A field ‘Active’ allows you to deactivate the reason if you do not plan to use it any more.</li> <li>Assign the security group 'Release blocked RFQ' to users that should be able to release the block.</li> </ul> <a name="usage"></a> <h3>Usage</h3> <a name="set-the-purchase-block"></a> <h4>Set the purchase block</h4> <ol class="arabic simple"> <li>Go to ‘Purchases / Purchase / Requests for Quotation’</li> <li>Create a new RFQ and indicate the blocking reason (found in the right hand side of the screen, below the order date). Upon save, the blocking is not editable anymore, and a notification has been logged into the chatter, indicating ‘Order blocked with reason xyz’, so that all followers can receive it.</li> </ol> <a name="search-existing-rfq"></a> <h4>Search existing RFQ</h4> <p>There is a filter ‘Blocked’ to search for orders that are blocked. It is also possible to search RFQ’s with a specific block reason.</p> <a name="release-the-purchase-block"></a> <h4>Release the purchase block</h4> <ol class="arabic simple"> <li>Access to an existing RFQ that is blocked.</li> <li>If your user is member of security group ‘Release blocked RFQ’, she/he will see a button ‘Release block’. When pressing it a notification will be sent to all the followers again, with message ‘Order with block xyz has now been released’.</li> <li>From this point and on, anyone seeing that RFQ will be able to validate it.</li> </ol> <a name="validate-the-rfq"></a> <h4>Validate the RFQ</h4> <ol class="arabic simple"> <li>Press the button ‘Validate’. If there’s a block, and you do not have</li> </ol> <blockquote> permissions, you will get an error message indicating that the RFQ is blocked, and the reason. You will need to request it to be released by an authorized user.</blockquote> <a class="reference external image-reference" href="https://runbot.odoo-community.org/runbot/142/10.0"><img alt="Try me on Runbot" src="https://odoo-community.org/website/image/ir.attachment/5784_f2813bd/datas" /></a> <a name="bug-tracker"></a> <h3>Bug Tracker</h3> <p>Bugs are tracked on <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/OCA/purchase-workflow/issues">GitHub Issues</a>.
