How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
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.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

18. Documentation and metadata
Documentation is the contextual information required
to make material intelligible and aid interpretation
A users’ guide to your data
May apply to a whole collection, or to specific
aspects
Metadata is similar, but usually more structured
Conforms to set standards
Machine readable
Preparing your research

19. Make material understandable
What’s obvious
now might not
be in a few
months, years,
decades…

YOU CAN
UNDERSTAND

20. Make material verifiable and reusable
• Detailing methods helps
people understand what
you did
• And helps make your
work reproducible
• Provide context to
minimize the risk of
misunderstanding or
misuse

21. Exercise
In small groups, look at the sample data sheet
Imagine you have just downloaded this dataset from an
archive
What contextual or explanatory information is missing?
Anything odd about the data that needs clarifying?
What additional documentation would
you like to see supplied
About specific items of information?
About the whole data collection?
Preparing your research
material for the future
22. • Who created it, when and why
• Description of the item
• Methodology and methods
• Units of measurement
• Definitions of jargon, acronyms and code
• References to related data
Documentation – what to include
Slide adapted from
the PrePARe Project
Preparing your research

23. Metadata – data about data
A formal,
structured
description
of a dataset
Used by
archives
to create
catalogue
records
24. Missing metadata – or the riddle of the
sixth toe
This painting shows
Georgiana, Duchess of
Devonshire as Diana
… or maybe Cynthia
She has six toes – but
no one knows why

33. Preserving research material
Copy on personal computer
Convenient for own use – but no sharing
means no impact
Personal or project website
Great – but sustainability
needs some planning
Deposit with a suitable
archive or repository
Preparing your research
material for the future
34. Repositories and archives
A secure long-term home for reusable material
Key repositories include:
UK Data Archive
Archaeology Data Service
Oxford Text Archive

without another natural home
Datasets will be assigned DOIs
Depositors can opt to make
datasets publicly available,
embargoed for a fixed period,
or hidden
Preparing your research
material for the future
36. ORA-Data
ORA-Data will operate alongside the existing ORA
publications archive
Will also function as a catalogue of Oxford-created
data held in other archives
Researchers depositing data
elsewhere strongly encouraged
to add a record to ORA-Data

37. Figshare – a DIY option
Free online sharing platform for data and other
research objects
Shared items are allocated a DataCite DOI
A possible alternative to conventional repositories
If no suitable
repository is available
If you need a way of
sharing in a hurry
Preparing your research

38. Data sharing – concerns
Ethical and legal concerns
Confidential or sensitive data
Third party data
Professional concerns
Intended publication
Commercial issues
Planning with sharing in mind from the
beginning can help alleviate problems
