Treat an online booking as a request with a traceable identifier, not confirmation that every part and appointment is available. Define which system owns the confirmed visit and how staff review missing information. Material availability should distinguish supplier stock, depot stock and vehicle stock before the team commits to a repair.
Understand the decision
A customer may select a broad problem category that does not identify the required fitting. The booking tool can collect useful context, but diagnosis and scheduling decisions still need owners. Changes to the request must reach dispatch without generating duplicate jobs or overwriting technician findings.
Work through the requirements
- Map booking references to service requests.
- Confirm visits through the dispatch owner.
- Separate each source of material availability.
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Booking reference | Supports duplicate detection and customer follow-up. |
| Dispatch confirmation | Records the accepted visit and owner. |
| Stock-source map | Explains where available materials actually reside. |

Watch for this failure
A connector that creates jobs successfully can still promise visits the team cannot fulfil. Test confirmation, cancellation and stock-source differences together, and keep an exception queue that an identified dispatcher actually reviews.
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.
