**Website Sale - Aplicoop** is a modern Odoo 18 module that replaces the legacy Aplicoop application with a complete solution for managing collaborative consumption group orders (*eskaera* in Basque).
Description
===========
This module replaces the legacy Aplicoop application with a modern, scalable solution for managing collaborative consumption group orders (*eskaera* in Basque) within Odoo's standard website sales framework.
Features
~~~~~~~~
- **Group Order Management**: Create and manage group orders (eskaera) with customizable state transitions (draft → open → closed/cancelled)
- **Weekly Activity Filtering**: Automatically filter active orders for the current week based on start/end dates and time windows
- **Flexible Scheduling**: Support for optional start/end times to define order availability windows within a day
- **Cutoff Day Support**: Define weekly cutoff days for group orders to control when purchases can be made
- **Product Association**: Link products to specific group orders through Many2many relationships
- **Partner Group Association**: Link partners (users) to groups via Many2many relationships for group-based shopping
- **i18n Support**: Full internationalization with translations for 7 languages (Spanish, French, Catalan, Basque, Galician, Italian, Portuguese)
- **OCA Compliant**: AGPL-3.0 licensed, follows OCA standards for documentation, testing, and code structure
Context / Use Cases
===================
Group orders (*eskaera*) are a business model for collaborative consumption where groups of users collectively purchase products within defined time windows. This module was created to replace the legacy Aplicoop application, providing:
**Business Value:**
- Streamlined group purchasing workflows within Odoo's standard sales framework
- Flexible scheduling to accommodate different group shopping patterns (daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly)
- Clear separation between temporary shopping carts and permanent sales orders
- Support for multiple groups with different suppliers, products, and categories
**Use Cases:**
- Cooperative grocery purchasing groups
- Bulk order consolidation for community members
- Time-limited promotional campaigns with group participation
- Multi-location organizations with shared procurement
Usage
=====
Creating a Group Order
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Go to **Website Sale > Group Orders > Create**
2. Fill in the order details:
- **Order Name**: Descriptive name (e.g., "Weekly Vegetable Order")
- **Start Date**: When the order opens for shopping (mandatory)
- **End Date**: When the order closes (optional; leave empty for permanent orders)
- **Cutoff Day**: Day of week when purchases stop (0=Monday, 6=Sunday) - mandatory
- **Start Time**: Optional time when order becomes active (0-24 hours)
- **End Time**: Optional time when order closes (0-24 hours)
- **Recurrence Period**: How often the order repeats (daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly)
- **Suppliers**: Link to product suppliers
- **Categories**: Product categories available in this order
- **Groups**: Which user groups can participate
3. Click **Save** and transition the order to **Open** state to allow shopping
Shopping for a Group Order
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Navigate to the website storefront at ``/eskaera`` (group orders page)
2. View active group orders for your participating groups
3. Select an order to view available products
4. Add products to your cart (separate cart per order)
5. At checkout, confirm your order to convert items to a sales order draft
6. Proceed through standard Odoo checkout workflow
Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Managing Groups**
1. Go to **Contacts > Groups** (res.partner with is_group=True)
2. Create groups for user communities
3. Add partners/users to groups via the **Members** tab
**Managing Products**
1. Products are linked to group orders via the **Group Orders** field in product settings
2. Set pricing and availability per group order
3. Assign products to categories used in group orders
**Date & Time Validation**
- ``start_date`` must be ≤ ``end_date`` (when both filled)
- ``start_time`` must be < ``end_time`` (when both filled)
- Times must be between 0-24 hours
- Empty end_date = permanent order
- Empty times = no time-based restrictions
