Maintenance Equipment Category Hierarchy
Equipment Categories Hierarchy
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Lets you organise maintenance equipment categories into a parent/child tree, so you can group related categories and filter maintenance requests by a whole branch of categories.
This module turns the flat list of equipment categories into a hierarchy. On each category you can now set a Parent Category, and the form shows its Child Categories as tags. The full path of a category is built automatically (for example "Parent / Child") and is used as the category's display name, so you can recognise where a category sits in the tree.
Where it appears in Odoo: - The equipment category list view gains a Parent Category column. - The equipment category form shows Parent Category and Child Categories fields. - The maintenance request search view changes the category filter so that choosing a category also finds requests belonging to its sub-categories.
Business rules and automatic behaviour: - The complete name is computed from the parent's complete name plus the category name. - Odoo blocks recursive categories: you cannot make a category a parent of itself, directly or through a chain, and an error message is shown. - Deleting a parent category also deletes its child categories.
The module extends the maintenance.equipment.category model and adjusts the search view of maintenance.request.
