[RFC] cagnotte* addons => OCA

[rousseldenis]

We need to formalize from a functional point of view the usage of cagnotte addons in order to move them to OCA.

The idea is to create a new repository. Name proposal : account-pot as the nearest words are jackpot (which is more conoted) and pot. Source : https://www.linguee.com/french-english/translation/cagnotte.html.

Proposal of README :

This is based on the existing v10 version and target is v14

Prerequisites

• account_pot_base:

This module allows to define base modelisation for account pot management:

• A pot type with following data:
  • Type Name
  • An account
  • A sequence for pots
  • A product

• A pot will contain:
  • The type
  • The pot balance
  • An active field
  • A company
  • A currency

Flow

To provide input to pot, account entries should be created on the waiting account.

Those entries are mainly created through Customer Invoices.

This has direct impact on pot balance:

Sale

account_pot_sale

The pot flow can be included in Sale flow in order to pay a Sale Order with reserve.

After selecting the pot:

The invoice generated will simply deduct that amount from the reserve account.

repository README:

This repository contains modules in order to allow pot management through accounting entries. That approach is convenient in order to provide provisional entries (in a waiting account) that will be consumed later when payment is needed.

@sbidoul @Cedric-Pigeon If you have input for this. @sbidoul Should I require repo creation on contributors ?

[rousseldenis]

After discussion, we can start on account-pot which seems reasonable.

TBH I'm not convinced with the name. How about opening a discussion in the contributors mailing list with an explanation of what the module(s) do(es) and asking help from native english speakers ?

I can do it for sure. Didn't want to imply community if it was too soon in our thinking.

Hello @rousseldenis
This looks really interesting!
I tried to install account_wallet_sale from Acsone's repo but I did not have a button to "pay with cagnotte" and I could not find the OCA repo.
Am I looking at the correct location?
Thanks
