Section Collapse Advanced
Collapse and expand section headers in Odoo order lines with a single click.
Overview
Section Collapse Advanced cleans up long document lines in Odoo. Quotations, purchase orders, and vendor bills with many products and several section headers can stretch far down the page — this module lets you collapse any section to its header and stop the scrolling.
Built by TechUltra Solutions, it adds a one-click expand and collapse control to every section line. A collapsed section shows only its header, and can optionally display the number of items folded underneath, so you keep your place without seeing every row.
The module works with Odoo's existing section functionality out of the box — Sales, Purchase, Invoicing, Bills, and MRP all gain collapsible sections, and any custom module that organises lines into sections is supported too. There is nothing to configure: it works the moment section lines are used.
Key features
-
One-click collapse and expand
Click a section header to fold or unfold its line items. Navigating a long order becomes a matter of opening only the sections you need.
-
Structured, readable line items
Grouping document lines under collapsible sections gives complex quotations and orders a clear, scannable structure.
-
Works across core Odoo apps
Section lines collapse in Sales, Purchase, Invoices, Bills, and MRP — every standard Odoo document that uses section headers is covered.
-
Less scrolling and clutter
Collapsing finished sections removes them from view, cutting the scrolling and visual noise in large or detailed orders.
-
Zero configuration
The module works out of the box with Odoo's existing section feature. There are no settings to enable — it activates the moment section lines are used.
-
Custom module support
Any custom module that organises one-to-many lines into sections gains the same collapsible behaviour automatically.
-
Optional item counts
A collapsed section can show how many line items are folded underneath, so you keep context without expanding it.

Frequently asked questions
-
How do I collapse a section in an order?
Click the section header in the one-to-many list. Its line items fold away and only the header remains. Click the header again to expand the section.
-
Which Odoo documents support collapsible sections?
Sales orders, purchase orders, invoices, vendor bills, and MRP documents all gain collapsible sections, along with any custom module that uses section lines.
-
Do I need to configure anything after installing?
No. The module works out of the box with Odoo's existing section functionality. It activates automatically wherever section lines are used.
-
Does a collapsed section show how many lines it hides?
Yes. A collapsed section can display the number of line items folded underneath, so you keep context without expanding it.
-
Will it work with my custom module?

-
Which Odoo versions are supported?
Section Collapse Advanced supports Odoo 16.0, 17.0, 18.0, and 19.0, in both the Community and Enterprise editions.
