THE DIRECT ANSWER

Define whether the specialist document platform or Odoo owns each drawing revision, instruction and commercial approval. Exchange stable references and approved status changes rather than indiscriminately copying every file. A new drawing upload should not silently authorize purchasing or change contract value without the separately agreed commercial decision and review.

Understand the decision

Construction teams may retain a dedicated collaboration system for technical documents and site correspondence. Commercial users still need to find the evidence behind a commitment. The connection should identify the relevant revision, its status and any access restriction without presenting an obsolete attachment as current.

Work through the requirements

  1. Name the authoritative document repository.
  2. Map revision and instruction references.
  3. Separate technical and commercial approval events.

Watch for this failure

Copying attachments into multiple systems creates competing versions of the truth. Preserve durable references, test permissions and define how staff confirm the operative revision before acting on a purchasing or site instruction.

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.
