This module extends the possibilities of the contact deduplication allowing to filter the applicable set according to several criteria.

For now, only the filter for restricting the deduplication to only companies or only contacts is implemented.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Adds extra filter options to the contact deduplication wizard so you can exclude companies, exclude contacts with a parent company, or exclude contacts without one before merging duplicates.

This module extends the automatic contact deduplication wizard in Odoo. When you open the wizard to merge duplicate contacts, three new checkboxes appear next to the existing exclusion option.

  • "'Is a company?' field selected": when ticked, records that are companies are left out of the deduplication, so only individual contacts are considered.
  • "Parent company not set": when ticked, contacts that have a parent company are excluded, keeping only contacts without a parent.
  • "Parent company set (Contacts)": when ticked, contacts without a parent company are excluded, keeping only contacts that belong to a parent company.

These options change which records the wizard looks at when it searches for duplicates. They are combined with each other and with the existing exclusion filter, and they only take effect inside the deduplication wizard — no other screen or process is affected.

The module works on the base.partner.merge.automatic.wizard model and adds its fields to the standard deduplication wizard form. It depends on the access-rights module for contact deduplication, so the same permissions apply. No new menus, reports, emails or scheduled actions are added.
