AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0

Adds the official Dutch legal company types (such as BV, NV, VOF, stichting) to the company type list, so Dutch partners can be classified correctly.

This module is a small localization that fills the company type list with the official Dutch legal forms. It does not add new screens or buttons; it simply makes the Dutch types available wherever company types are used on contacts.

  • It creates company type records for the Netherlands, including Sole proprietor (ez), General partnership (vof), Professional partnership (mts), Limited partnership (cv), Private limited company (bv), Public limited company (nv), Association, Cooperative, Limited liability cooperative (ba), Excluded liability cooperative (ua), Legal liability cooperative (wa), Foundation, Mutual assurance company and Church.
  • Several types carry the official legal shortcut used in the Netherlands, while others (Association, Cooperative, Foundation, Mutual assurance company, Church) are added without a shortcut.
  • All records are linked to the Netherlands country, so they appear as Dutch company types.

It relies on the partner company type feature, which adds the company type field on contacts (res.partner.company.type). No automatic checks, computations, emails or scheduled jobs are added by this module. The data is loaded once and not updated automatically on later upgrades.
