AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Adds a Brands directory to Odoo and lets you decide, per company, whether brands must be chosen on business documents. Brands are stored as contacts, so they carry address, VAT and logo details.

This module introduces a new "Brands" concept in Odoo. A brand is stored as a contact record, so it can hold a name, logo, address, phone, email, website and VAT number, and it is managed from a Brands menu with kanban, list and form views.

In Settings, under the companies section, a new "Brand" setting lets you choose the brand use level for the company: do not use brands on business documents, optional, or required. This setting is company-dependent, so each company can behave differently.

Other modules can attach a brand to their documents through a shared mixin. When the company setting is "Required", the brand field becomes mandatory and saving a document without a brand raises a validation error. When the setting is "Do not use brands", the brand field is hidden from forms and lists. If a brand belongs to a company, it can only be used on documents of that same company, and selecting a brand automatically fills in the document's company.

Access is read-only for all users; only system administrators can create, edit or delete brands. A multi-company rule limits which brands each user can see.

Usage

Source · Odoo 19.0

To use this module, you need to:

  • Go to Settings \> General Settings
  • Select the brand use level
  • Go to Settings \> Users & Companies \> Brands
  • Add a new brand
  • Install one of branding module (e.g. account_brand)
  • Based on your choice for the brand use level, you will see a new field added to the branded object

To make a branded object, you need to:

  • Inherit from the res.brand.mixin
class YourModel(models.Model):
    _name = 'your.model'
    _inherit = ['your.model', 'res.brand.mixin']
  • Add the brand field to the object form or tree view. The mixin will add the brand use level field automatically to the view and set the modifiers to the brand field. This will define its visibility and if it's required or not.

You can refer to the account_brand. for more details.
