  base_search_mail_content

  Lets users search any record that uses Odoo chatter (like tasks, tickets or issues) by the content of its messages, notes and emails, not just by the record's own fields.

• Base Search MultiOdoo 13
  base_search_multi

  Lets users search several values at once in any Odoo list view by typing them inside curly brackets, instead of adding them one by one.

• Default Fields with SequenceOdoo 14, 16
  base_sequence_default

  Lets you give any text field on any record a default value taken from an Odoo sequence, so new records automatically get an incremental reference. You set it up by creating a sequence whose code follows a special naming pattern.

• Base Sequence OptionOdoo 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
  base_sequence_option

  This base module lets administrators define alternative numbering sequences for documents, chosen automatically by matching rules on the document's own values. It does nothing on its own; other modules must enable it for each document type.

• Base Sparse Field List SupportOdoo 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
  base_sparse_field_list_support

  Technical module that lets Odoo store lists (not only dictionaries) in serialized fields. It changes how serialized field values are converted when read into memory, so lists are saved correctly.

• Base Sub StateOdoo 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
  base_substate

  This module provides the technical foundation to add customizable sub-states (like "In negotiation", "Won", "Lost") to any Odoo record that has a state field, and to send an email when a record reaches a given sub-state. It is not useful on its own; it must…

• Suspend securityOdoo 12
  base_suspend_security

  This module lets developers run Odoo code without access rights and record rules being checked, while keeping the original user as the author of the changes. It is a technical helper used by other modules, not a screen users work with.

• Technical features groupOdoo 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
  base_technical_features

  Lets selected users keep Odoo's technical features and technical menus switched on permanently, without having to turn on developer (debug) mode each time.

• Base Technical UserOdoo 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
  base_technical_user

  Lets you designate a dedicated technical user on each company, so automated or batch processes can run under that user instead of a real person.

• Base Temporary ActionOdoo 18
  base_temporary_action

  This technical module adds a flag to mark actions as temporary and automatically deletes them one hour after creation. It does not add any visible screen or menu by itself.

• Base Tier ValidationOdoo 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
  base_tier_validation

  Adds a configurable multi-step approval workflow to any Odoo document, so records must be reviewed and approved by chosen users or groups before they can move forward.

  base_tier_validation_board

  Adds a read-only Tier Reviews board so users can see all pending and completed approval reviews in one place, grouped by status, and jump straight to the related document.

• Base Tier Validation Confirm AuthOdoo 18, 19
  base_tier_validation_confirm_auth

• Base Tier Validation CorrectionOdoo 14, 16, 18, 19
  base_tier_validation_correction

  Lets authorised users replace the reviewer of pending tier validation reviews on documents, either immediately or on a scheduled date, and revert the change later.

• Base Tier Validation Defination Server ActionOdoo 16
  base_tier_validation_definition_server_action

  Adds a new "Server Action" option to tier validation definitions, so a tier can be triggered by running a custom server action instead of only by a domain condition.

• Base Tier Validation FormulaOdoo 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
  base_tier_validation_formula

  Lets you write Python formulas to decide when a tier approval is required and who must approve it, instead of only using fixed domains or user lists.

• Base Tier Validation ForwardOdoo 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
  base_tier_validation_forward

  Adds a Forward option to tier approvals, letting an assigned reviewer pass the decision to another user instead of approving or rejecting.

• Base Tier Validation - ReportsOdoo 14, 15, 16
  base_tier_validation_report

  Adds a Reviews section to the Odoo Dashboard where users can see the tier validation reviews they must handle and, for authorised users, all reviews with their status (pending, approved or rejected).

• Base Tier Validation - Server ActionOdoo 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
  base_tier_validation_server_action

• Base Time WindowOdoo 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
  base_time_window

• Base Translation Field LabelOdoo 13, 15
  base_translation_field_label

  This module makes the Translations list easier to read by showing the human-friendly label of the translated field instead of the technical field name, which is hidden by default.

  base_unece

  Adds a central reference list of UNECE codes (units of measure, payment means, transport modes, packaging, etc.) that users can browse and search in Odoo. Only administrators can add, edit or delete entries; everyone else can only read them.

• Base UrlOdoo 18

  base_user_role

  Lets administrators define reusable user roles that bundle several access groups, assign them to users (optionally with start and end dates), and automatically keep each user's groups in line with their roles.

• User roles activitiesOdoo 18, 19
  base_user_role_activity

  Automatically creates a reminder activity on a user's contact when one of their role assignments is about to expire, and removes it when the role is extended or deleted.

• User roles by companyOdoo 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19
  base_user_role_company

  Lets you assign a user role to a specific company, so a role only becomes active when the right company (or companies) are selected. Adds a Company field on each role line in the user form.

• Base User Role HistoryOdoo 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19
  base_user_role_history

• Base User Show EmailOdoo 12, 13, 14, 16, 18
  base_user_show_email

  Separates the user login from the email address in Odoo. The user form now shows a 'Login' label and a visible Email Address field, and the login page asks for a Login instead of an Email.

• Base User SignatureOdoo 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
  base_user_signature

  Adds a digital signature field to user records so each user can draw and save their own signature, visible and editable on their user form and personal preferences.

• Base VAT SanitizedOdoo 12, 13
  base_vat_sanitized

  Adds a read-only "Sanitized TIN" field on contacts that stores the VAT number in uppercase and without spaces or special characters. It is a technical helper for other modules that need to compare partners by VAT number.

• Base video linkOdoo 14
  base_video_link

  Lets you store videos (with provider, identifier, URL and thumbnail) in Odoo and link them to any record that uses the video mixin. A Video menu is added under the Custom menu.

• Display full architecture for viewsOdoo 14
  base_view_full_arch

• Base Warn OptionOdoo 15, 18
  base_warn_option

  Lets administrators create and manage a library of predefined warning and blocking messages, so the same wording is reused consistently across Odoo.

• Base - Write DiffOdoo 17, 19
  base_write_diff

• BI SQL Editor Server ActionsOdoo 13
  bi_sql_editor_server_actions

  Lets you attach server actions to a BI SQL view, so automated actions can be created and linked to the generated model directly from the BI SQL view form.

  This hidden glue module automatically moves the BI View Editor menus under the Spreadsheet Dashboard menu when both modules are installed, so users find BI views and custom reports in one place.

• Board Eval ContextOdoo 15
  board_eval_context

  This module lets board dashboards use dynamic dates and the current user in their filters, so a single shared board can show different data for each user and for periods like today, this month or the last 30 days.
