auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds French departments (départements) as a new reference list in Odoo and automatically fills in a contact's department from their postal code and city.
This module gives Odoo a proper list of French departments, which sit between the region (state) and the city. A new "Departments" entry appears under the Localisation menu in the Contacts app, where you can list, search and open departments. Each department has a name, a code (the official ISO code such as 01, 2A or 75), the region it belongs to and, indirectly, the country. The list is pre-loaded with the departments of mainland France, and the same code cannot be used twice within one country.
On contacts, a new "Department" field is added. It is calculated automatically from the contact's country, postal code and city, so users do not type it by hand. The calculation only applies to France and the French overseas territories (Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, Réunion, Mayotte). It handles special cases such as Corsica (2A/2B), overseas codes starting with 97, and a list of postal codes that are shared between several departments, where the city name is used to decide. When the module is installed, existing contacts are recalculated so the field is filled in.
Users can group and filter contacts by department in the Contacts search view, and the field can be shown as an optional column in the contact list. On the contact form it is only visible to users with technical settings enabled.
