Model Naming Conventions

Netforce follows consistent naming patterns for models:

• Master Data: Simple names like contact, product, account
• Categories: Pattern entity.categ (e.g., contact.categ, product.categ)
• Related Data: Pattern entity.relation (e.g., contact.relation, product.supplier)
• Transaction Documents: Pattern module.document (e.g., sale.order, purchase.order)
• Lines: Pattern document.line (e.g., sale.order.line, account.move.line)
• Reports: Pattern report.entity (e.g., report.contact, report.stock)

Integration Patterns

Most models share common integration points:

• Multi-company Support: Models with _multi_company = True support multi-company operations
• Audit Logging: Models with _audit_log = True track all changes
• History Tracking: Models with _history = True maintain change history
• Workflow States: Business documents follow standard state patterns (draft → confirmed → done)
• Comments: Many models support comments via message relationships
• Attachments: File attachments via attach model relationships
