General Information

• Car Rental System is a simple internal car booking system.
• Technical assignment requested by Leading Point Software for practicing the Odoo framework after finishing the first 8 chapters from Odoo 14 Development Cookbook - Fourth Edition book.

Task Description

Car Rental System

Build a simple internal (not a website) car booking system using Odoo with basic functionalities mentioned below:

1. We will have two kinds of users (groups): managers (have full access - CRUD, and normal users (read-only and can reserve cars).
2. Simple page showing list of available cars to be rented.
3. In car list, user can select car and open a form view to show car details.
4. In form view: show car info and offer a reserve button to reserve the car.
5. Reserve button will record the reserved car, user who did the reservation, and reservation date.
6. From user form view, we need to have a smart button to show the list of reserved cars. Users can do unreserve (store return date).
7. Managers can create, edit, mark cars as damaged, reserve, and unreserve cars (store return date).
8. We will have three states for the car: Available, Rented, and Damaged.
9. Create a page to list all reservation history for each car, the result should be grouped by car, list will have car name, username, state, and date.
10. Workflow for return car (second approval).
