auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 14.0Adds an 'Accounting description' field on products that replaces the product name on invoice lines, while keeping the original product name visible on the printed invoice report.
This module lets you separate the wording used for accounting entries from the wording shown to customers on invoices.
- On a product form, a new 'Accounting description' field appears in the Accounting group. Whatever you type there is used as the line label on invoice lines instead of the product name.
- When you pick a product on an invoice line, Odoo automatically copies the normal product name into a hidden 'External Name' field and then replaces the line label with the product's accounting description, if one is set.
- The invoice report is changed so that the printed line description comes from the 'External Name' field, meaning customers still see the original product name on the PDF.
- The 'External Name' field is also shown on the invoice lines list and form inside the invoice screen, so users can review or adjust it.
This affects product.template, account.move.line and the invoice report. No new menus are added; the new fields appear inside existing product and invoice screens.
