Auguria News

The Auguria Sale Report Remove UOM module applies to quotations and sales orders: it hides the unit of measure (UoM) in the item lines (PDF & portal) to lighten the presentation. Descriptions, references, quantities, and totals remain visible; the full data (including the UoM) stays in the database for accounting and internal reports. In plain terms: more readable documents, without touching the substance.

Key features

  • Hiding the unit of measure for each product line on quotations/sales orders.
  • Visible effect on generated PDFs and on the customer portal (sharing).
  • No data modification: the UoM remains stored and accessible internally.
  • Immediate activation: no configuration, it is active on installation.

Technical note (brief): clean QWeb inheritance of the sales templates; strictly visual hiding.

What you gain

  • Readability: a clearer quotation, focused on the essentials.
  • Fewer ambiguities when the UoM is obvious (“Unit”, “Day”, etc.).
  • No hacks: entries and analyses remain intact on the back-office side.

Quick use cases

  • Submit a B2B quotation where the unit is implicit and makes reading harder.
  • Send an order to a service provider without multiplying unnecessary details.
  • Share a document in a tender where visual clarity matters most.

Security & governance

  • Strictly visual hiding — nothing is deleted or altered in the database.
  • Multi-company / business rules: usage can be controlled (groups, contexts).
  • Regulatory caution: if the UoM is mandatory in your sector (agri-food, pharma…), keep it visible.

And if you want to go further

  • Extend the hiding to other reports (invoices, delivery slips, etc.) with the same QWeb principle.
  • Make the option configurable (per company, per report template).
  • Combine with a “Hide Price” module for an ultra-clean output when only the totals matter.

Conclusion

A minimalist module that tidies up where it counts: on the document handed to the customer.

Result: clarity, consistency, and no compromise on accounting.

And if tomorrow your native reports are enough, we also know how to keep it simple: we switch it off.
