THE DIRECT ANSWER

Keep specialist calculations and technical document control under their designated systems and reviewers. Exchange stable project, deliverable and revision references with Odoo, along with explicitly approved administrative status changes. Do not interpret a file upload or model save as technical release, customer acceptance or authorization to invoice the associated phase.

Understand the decision

Engineering teams may collaborate through specialist repositories while project administrators manage fees and resourcing elsewhere. The integration needs to preserve which revision was issued and which is still being reviewed. It should also maintain access boundaries when external collaborators can view only selected deliverables or project records.

Work through the requirements

  1. Define authoritative deliverable and revision fields.
  2. Map technical events to administrative meanings.
  3. Test document access with external-role accounts.

Watch for this failure

Mirroring every technical repository event into project completion creates false certainty. Agree the meaning of each shared status and preserve the responsible review before using it to drive customer communication, forecasting or billing.

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.
