Separate receipt of customer data from acceptance of a manufacturing change. Map stable customer, contract and revision identifiers, and define who reviews updates before they affect active work. Access controls and field ownership should match the contract, while the integration preserves the version actually used and prevents one customer’s documents or records from appearing in another customer context.
Understand the decision
In a hypothetical portal, a customer uploads a replacement specification during an active build, then uploads the same file again with a different filename. Another customer uses a similar internal part code. The team needs reliable identity and review controls rather than assuming that the newest file or matching name is authoritative.
Work through the requirements
- Map customer-specific identities and document versions.
- Route proposed changes to the authorized reviewer.
- Test access boundaries and duplicate-upload handling.
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Customer mapping | Separate contract-specific identifiers. |
| Received revision | Preserve source, date and review state. |
| Accepted instruction | Identify the approved version used for work. |

Watch for this failure
Automatic synchronization can spread an unapproved change as efficiently as an approved one. Define review authority and customer boundaries before connecting portals, and preserve a clear distinction between a file received, a change accepted and an instruction issued.

This example defines what to verify, rather than promising a particular Odoo feature. Keep a record of the demonstrated result, configuration, unresolved gaps and person who accepts it.
