THE DIRECT ANSWER

Let the designated technical repository own drawing and model revisions, while defining which approved references and issue events belong in Odoo. Keep client acceptance, professional release and commercial milestones distinguishable. A synchronization event should preserve evidence and visibility, not turn an ordinary file save into permission to issue documents or charge fees.

Understand the decision

Design teams may share selected information with consultants while keeping internal review notes private. A single project can contain both released and draft material. The integration needs reliable revision references and permission checks so an administrator or client does not unknowingly retrieve a superseded or unauthorized document.

Work through the requirements

  1. Define repository and project ownership boundaries.
  2. Map issue events to explicit administrative states.
  3. Test document visibility for each external role.

Watch for this failure

Duplicating complete drawing folders inside the ERP can create competing revision histories. Prefer controlled references where appropriate, and verify access and issue meaning before using repository events to advance project stages or customer billing.
