Re: [Bug 934242] Re: EDI Auto-email should not be active by default

 

To focalize the discussion:

The noupdate=0 on the action server is not a problem,  as Olivier
explained, a noupdate=1 has been put on purpose on the binding
workflow-action server.

It stays the issue of the edi auto-emails activated by default even though
it will be broken on the most of the OpenERP servers out of the box.

For the time being, 2 propositions have been done :
- deactivate it by default and let the responsibility to the integrator /
user to activate it once he is sure that the pre-requisite configuration is
done (server exposed and reachable via the url sent to the customers).

- reverse the actual logic of "opt-out" by a "opt-in" field so any partner
can receive an edi auto-emails before it has been explicitly activated on
it. It may also be more in phase with marketing laws and codes (comment #7)
.

Thanks all for your views.

Title:
  EDI Auto-email should not be active by default

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Hello,

  3 emails actions are created when we install the modules sale / account / purchase :
  Auto-email confirmed sale orders [1]
  Auto-email confirmed invoices [2]
  Auto-email confirmed purchase orders [3]

  These actions are configured to send a mail to the partners (unless if
  they have the "opt-out" on) with the document with the EDI system.

  I think that it is quite debatable to activate this by default. 
  In my opinion, this should be set off by default, and afterwards it should be the responsibility of the integrator or user to active this feature or not, because it can have serious effects on the customer base.

  But above all, noupdate="1" must be set on the xml! If you deactivate
  the actions server manually, because you (absolutely) do not want
  those mails to be send to your customers, next time you update your
  modules, the server actions will be reactivated ! (and mails will be
  sent before you see it.)

  The question is not on the quality or goodness of this EDI feature,
  but that's about the control of the mail outputs.

  Thanks for your understanding on this topic.
