This module disable the automatic matching of products based on their name when importing EDI invoices, ensuring products are only matched using explicit identifiers (such as vendor references, barcodes, or internal codes)
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Stops Odoo from matching products by their name when importing EDI invoices, so products are only found by vendor reference, barcode or internal code.
When an electronic invoice (EDI) is imported, Odoo normally tries to find the matching product in your database using several clues, including the product name written on the invoice. This module changes that behaviour: by default it ignores the name and only uses the other identifiers (vendor reference, barcode, internal code) to find the product.
- It works on the
account.edi.formatmodel, which is the part of Odoo that handles EDI document import. - A system setting called
account_edi.product_name_matchcontrols the behaviour. If that setting is enabled (true), the original Odoo behaviour is kept and names are used again. - If the setting is missing or disabled, the product name is not passed to the matching logic, so only the explicit identifiers are used.
There are no new menus, screens, buttons or reports in this module. It only changes how products are looked up during EDI invoice import. This is useful when product names are similar or unreliable and you want to avoid wrong automatic matches.
