This module adds the technical basis for the use of the code lists standardized by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (which has 56 members states in Europe, America and Central Asia, cf Wikipedia. These code lists are sometimes called UNCL (United Nations Code List). UNECE has standardized code lists for many different things: units of measure, payment means, modes of transport, packaging, taxes, etc....
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds 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.
This module creates a new reference table for the code lists standardised by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). Each entry stores a code, a name, a type (the kind of nomenclature it belongs to), an optional description and an active/archived flag.
Where it appears in Odoo: - A menu entry "UNECE Code Lists" is added under the Settings/Technical area (the same parent menu as other technical reference data). - It opens a list of codes with columns for type, code, name and description, plus a form to view or edit a single entry. - The search bar lets users look up an entry by name or code, filter archived entries, and group results by type.
Business rules and automatic behaviour: - Code and name are mandatory. - The combination of type and code must be unique: the system refuses to save a duplicate code of the same type. - Entries are active by default; archived ones show an "Archived" ribbon on the form and can be found with a dedicated filter. - The displayed name of an entry is automatically formatted as "[code] name".
Access rights: - Employees, portal users and public users can only read the codes. - Only users in the Settings/administrator group can create, modify or delete them.
This module only provides the reference data itself; it does not change sales, purchases, accounting or stock documents.
