Wizards and workflows in Odoo / OpenERP v8
In Odoo 8 are there still workflows and how do they apply compared to OpenERP 7?
Workflows are still a part of how documents move through various states in many applications inside Odoo. Sales Orders and Purchase Orders for example use workflows to determine if they are in draft state, in progress, or have completed. When we talk about Odoo we are in 95% of the time talking about OpenERP as they are one and the same. This is particularly true when it comes to workflows. When moving from OpenERP 7 to Odoo 8 (if that is the way you want to look at it), very little changed in workflows.
