Keep the estimating system responsible for its technical take-off and calculation detail unless the business explicitly changes that ownership. Define which approved commercial totals and work-package references pass to Odoo. A revised take-off should create a reviewed change, not silently replace quantities already purchased, scheduled or billed against an accepted order.
Understand the decision
Electrical estimates may be assembled from specialist catalogues and drawing measurements. Operational records need the accepted outcome rather than every draft calculation. The connector must distinguish a new quote revision from a correction to a product reference and from a genuinely approved scope change.
Work through the requirements
- Define the approved export boundary.
- Map estimate and package identifiers.
- Review changes to committed quantities.
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Estimate revision key | Identifies the originating approved calculation. |
| Product cross-reference | Connects estimating and purchasing catalogues. |
| Change comparison | Shows differences before operational updates. |

Watch for this failure
Synchronizing every editable estimate field gives draft calculations unintended operational authority. Transfer only the approved boundary, retain revision evidence and make changes to existing commitments visible to the responsible buyer and supervisor.
Continue the evaluation
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.
