Features

This module allows you to associate/group products/services under a milestone and display the subtotal. It is possible to add comment lines without details (tax, price, etc.), as well as force page breaks in commercial documents.

The module is compatible with the following document types:

- Commercial proposals
- Customer orders
- Customer invoices
- Supplier orders
- Supplier invoices

Compatible with the Multi-Company module.

Main features:

- Line grouping: associate products/services with a milestone to group them visually and manage them as a block.
- Automatic subtotal: display the total amount per milestone on the document and in the PDF.
- Comment lines: add text lines without amount or VAT.
- Forced page break: insert a page break at any desired position in the PDF.
- Move a line into a milestone: attach an existing line to a milestone after the fact, using a dropdown menu.
- Block cloning: duplicate a milestone and all its child lines in a single click.
- Block deletion with options:

- Option 1 — Delete the milestone and all its lines.
- Option 2 — Delete the milestone only and detach its lines (they remain on the document).
- Option 3 — Delete the milestone and migrate its lines to another existing milestone.

- Milestone dictionary: save reusable milestones from the configuration page.

Technical Notes

Supplier document specifics

The Dolibarr ORM classes for supplier documents (CommandeFournisseur, FactureFournisseur) have limitations compared to their customer counterparts:

- The fetch_lines() method of CommandeFournisseur does not map the label field onto line objects. The module works around this behaviour with direct SQL queries whenever the label is empty.
- The updateline() and addline() methods of these classes do not handle the fk_parent_line parameter. Any write to this field (attaching to a milestone, cloning, deletion) is performed via a direct SQL UPDATE on the corresponding line table.

These workarounds are encapsulated within the module and are fully transparent to the end user.

Development

Milestone is tracked on the Framasoft Git repository: https://git.framasoft.org/inodbox/milestone
