This module adds secondary industries for partners.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Lets you record a main industry plus several secondary industries on contacts, and organise industries in a parent/child hierarchy. A setting decides whether industries are also available for individual contacts.
This module extends the contact form so each contact can have one Main Industry and any number of Secondary Industries, shown as tags. The main industry cannot also appear among the secondary ones: Odoo blocks saving and shows a validation message if you try.
Industries themselves become hierarchical. On the Industry screen you can set a parent industry, and the full name is displayed as "Parent / Child". Two industries with the same name under the same parent are refused, and duplicating an industry automatically appends " 2" to the name.
By default the industry fields are only shown for companies. In Settings, under Contacts, the option "Enable industries for individuals" makes them visible for individual contacts too; this is controlled by a user group, so it can be granted per user.
Where it appears: - Contact form: Main Industry and Secondary Industries fields, also inside the contact addresses section. - Contact list: a Main Industry column. - Contact search: an Industry filter that searches both main and secondary industries, plus a group-by Industry option for companies. - Industry screen: a Parent Industry field and an editable list.
Access rights allow everyone to read industries, while only partner managers can create, edit or delete them.
