How “To Renew” Works in Recurring (Subscriptions) Module in Odoo 18 Enterprise  

In Odoo 18 Enterprise, the Subscriptions (Recurring) module helps businesses manage contracts and recurring billing efficiently. One important stage in subscription management is the “To Renew” stage.

In this blog, we will understand how the “To Renew” stage works and how to manage it step-by-step. 

What is “To Renew” in Subscriptions?
The “To Renew” stage indicates that:

Odoo automatically changes the stage based on the subscription configuration.
