How do I add new state and change the workflow of Purchase Order?

原文：https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/how-do-i-add-new-state-and-change-the-workflow-of-purchase-order-5118

You need to inherit purchase.order and redefine the state field by adding or removing states. The following example adds new_state state:

class purchase_order(osv.osv):
   _inherit = 'purchase.order'
   STATE_SELECTION = [
        ('new_state', 'New State'),
        ('draft', 'Draft PO'),
        ('sent', 'RFQ Sent'),
        ('confirmed', 'Waiting Approval'),
        ('approved', 'Purchase Order'),
        ('except_picking', 'Shipping Exception'),
        ('except_invoice', 'Invoice Exception'),
        ('done', 'Done'),
        ('cancel', 'Cancelled')
    ]
   _columns = {
       'state': fields.selection(STATE_SELECTION, 'Status', readonly=True, help="The status of the purchase order or the quotation request. A quotation is a purchase order in a 'Draft' status. Then the order has to be confirmed by the user, the status switch to 'Confirmed'. Then the supplier must confirm the order to change the status to 'Approved'. When the purchase order is paid and received, the status becomes 'Done'. If a cancel action occurs in the invoice or in the reception of goods, the status becomes in exception.", select=True),
   }
sale_order()

check this question about sales order for a possible issue if other modules are also modifying the state field .

To modify the workflow, you can add new workflow items or modify existing items using xml records that referencepurchase module records. Note that you need to add module_name. prefix to any id defined in the module you are modifying. The following example adds a new activity and modifies trans_sent_confirmed transition to the purchase order:

    <record id="act_new_state" model="workflow.activity">
        <field name="wkf_id" ref="purchase.purchase_order"/>
        <field name="name">new_state</field>
        <field name="kind">function</field>
        <field name="action">write({'state':'new_state'})</field>
    </record>
    <record id="purchase.trans_sent_confirmed" model="workflow.transition">
        <field name="act_from" ref="purchase.act_sent"/>
        <field name="act_to" ref="act_new_state"/>
        <field name="signal">purchase_confirm</field>
    </record>
