This module extends the functionality of partner to allow to group partners into other partners.
This module is an alternative to parent company field, as setting that field implies other business logic that wants to be avoided here as this is only for informative purposes.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0Lets you assign a contact to a "Group" that is another contact, and group or filter contacts by that group. It is an informational alternative to the parent company field.
This module adds a new "Group" field on contacts. The group is itself a contact, so you can create a contact that represents a group and then point other contacts to it.
Where it appears: - On the contact form, the Group field is shown next to the language field. - In the contacts search view, you can filter by Group and use "Group By > Group" to list contacts grouped by their group.
Business behaviour: - The Group field is added to the commercial fields of a contact, so it is treated as part of the commercial information shared between a company and its contacts. - No automatic checks, restrictions, emails or scheduled jobs are added by this module.
What it touches:
- It extends the res.partner model with the new group_id field.
- It modifies the standard contact form view and the standard contacts search view.
Because the group is only a reference to another contact, it does not trigger the parent company logic (such as address inheritance or commercial entity behaviour). It is meant for informative grouping only.
