Backdate Management CE
Backdate sales, purchase, stock and accounting documents, with a log of every change.
Overview
Backdating in Odoo is rarely one field. Moving a sales order's date leaves its deliveries and invoices where they were, so the record stops agreeing with itself — and the person doing it has no easy way to show what they changed or why.
Backdate Management CE handles the document and its dependants together. Administrators configure which related records should take the same date, so applying a date to a sales order can carry through to its deliveries and invoices, and a purchase order to its receipts and vendor bills, with operational and accounting dates kept in step.
Supported documents are sales orders, purchase orders, delivery orders, receipts, customer invoices, vendor bills, credit notes, payments and scrap orders. Each has its own Server Action, so authorised users can select several records in a list view and run the Backdate Wizard across all of them rather than one at a time.
Two things make it auditable rather than merely convenient. Dedicated Odoo user groups control who may backdate each document type — sales, purchase, delivery and receipt, invoices and bills and credit notes, payments, and scrap are separately permissioned. And every change lands in a Backdate Log holding the original date, the new date, the document, the user, the reason and a timestamp.
This is the Community-edition build, published separately from TechUltra's `tus_backdate_all`. Check which one matches your deployment before buying.
Key features
-
One place for every backdate
Backdate across Sales, Purchase, Inventory, Accounting, Payments and Scrap from a single module rather than document by document.
-
Related documents stay in step
Configure which related records take the same date — a sales order through to its deliveries and invoices, a purchase order through to its receipts and vendor bills.
-
Nine supported document types
Sales orders, purchase orders, delivery orders, receipts, customer invoices, vendor bills, credit notes, payments and scrap orders.
-
Bulk backdating from the list view
Dedicated Server Actions let authorised users select multiple records and launch the Backdate Wizard on all of them at once.
-
Permission per document type
Separate Odoo user groups govern sales orders, purchase orders, delivery and receipt operations, invoices, bills and credit notes, payments, and scrap orders.
-
Backdate Log
Every change records the original date, the new date, the document, the user, the reason and a timestamp — so a date change can be explained after the fact.
-
Operational and accounting dates synchronised
The configured workflow keeps operational and accounting dates aligned rather than leaving one to be corrected by hand.

Setup & configuration
From install to first call — here is the path.
- 1
Install the module
In Odoo, open Apps, remove the Apps filter, search for “Backdate Management CE”, and click Install.
- 2
Grant the backdate groups
Assign the user groups for the document types each person should be allowed to backdate — they are separate for sales, purchase, delivery and receipt, invoices and bills, payments, and scrap.
- 3
Configure which related documents follow
Decide whether a backdated sales order should carry its date to deliveries and invoices, and a purchase order to receipts and vendor bills.
- 4
Run the Backdate Wizard
Select one or more records in a list view, launch the Server Action, set the new date and a reason, and confirm. The change is written to the Backdate Log.
Frequently asked questions
-
Which documents can be backdated?
Sales orders, purchase orders, delivery orders, receipts, customer invoices, vendor bills, credit notes, payments and scrap orders.
-
Do related documents get the same date automatically?
That is configurable. Administrators set which related records should receive the backdate — for example a sales order's date applying to its deliveries and invoices, or a purchase order synchronising with its receipts and vendor bills.
-
Can several records be backdated at once?
Yes. Each document type has a dedicated Server Action, so authorised users can select multiple records in a list view and run the Backdate Wizard across the selection.
-
Who is allowed to backdate?
Access is controlled through dedicated Odoo user groups, with separate permissions for sales orders, purchase orders, delivery and receipt operations, invoices, bills and credit notes, payments, and scrap orders.
-
Is there a record of what was changed?
Yes. The Backdate Log holds the original date, the new backdated date, the document, the user, the reason and a timestamp for every change.
