3. Enterprise First we need to inherit the model Select the states field Then add the “selection_add” attribute to add new states into the existing states. Here taking sale.order model as an example Here the states field name is state and the selection values are Quotation , Quotation Send, Sale Order, Cancelled. Now let us add new states Open and Close

4. Enterprise class SaleOrder ( models . Model ): """Inheriting the sale order model and modify the field state to add open and close states""" _inherit = 'sale.order' state = fields . Selection ( selection_add = [( 'open' , 'Open' ), ( 'close' , 'Close' )])

5. Enterprise Inherit the form view of sale.order First, inherit the form view. In order to view the states in the form, we need to include the 'states' attribute along with the 'statusbar_visible' attribute. This is necessary because the default configuration of the 'sale.order' view sets the 'statusbar_visible' attribute.
