When evaluating websites for research, look at the URL to determine the type of organization that owns the site based on the top-level domain (.com, .org, .edu, .gov). Use a WHOIS lookup tool to find out specifically who registered the domain. The Internet Archive takes snapshots of websites daily, so you can check its records to see how long a site has existed and view older versions.

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.
