Analytic Accounts Smart Button On Sale Order

For businesses using Analytic Accounting in Odoo to track project costs, revenue streams, or customer profitability, it's critical to easily navigate from sales documents to associated analytic data. Without direct links, users often spend unnecessary time searching or cross-referencing related records.

The Analytic Accounts Smart Button on Sale Order feature streamlines this process by introducing a dedicated smart button on the sales order form. With a single click, users can access the analytic account(s) linked to the order — eliminating back-and-forth and giving sales and finance teams instant visibility into profitability metrics and analytic lines.
