COMM 100 Chpt 7 Writing Strategies for Delivering Negative News
There are three common situations that require delivering negative news: negative, persuasive, and routine. When conveying negative news, the goals are to be thorough but clear, professional, sensitive, fair, and maintain friendly relations. It is important to deal with negative situations immediately and personally. There are two main strategies for delivering negative news - direct and indirect. The direct strategy involves stating the bad news directly, then explaining the reasons, and closing pleasantly. The indirect strategy is used when the news is upsetting or could provoke a hostile reaction - it involves opening with a buffer, then presenting the reasons, cushioning the bad news, and closing pleasantly.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
