AI-generated from the code · Odoo 15.0

Adds a "Supplier Information" tab on the contact form where you can store, for each supplier, the reference that supplier uses for that contact. A computed field shows the right reference depending on the supplier in context.

This module lets you record, on any contact, the reference codes that different suppliers use to identify that same contact. On the contact form a new "Supplier Information" tab appears, containing an editable list where each line has a reference and a supplier.

Each line links one contact (the partner) to one supplier and stores the supplier's own reference for that contact.
The same supplier cannot be listed twice for the same contact: a database rule blocks duplicates and shows the message "A reference of this supplier already exists."
A computed field on the contact returns the supplier-specific reference when the system knows which supplier is being used, and otherwise falls back to the contact's own reference.
The tab is added to the standard contact form, so it is available to all internal users, who can read, create, edit and delete these lines.

The module touches the contact model res.partner and introduces a new model partner.supplierinfo that stores the reference, the contact and the supplier. It does not add its own menu; everything is reached from the contact form.

Usage

Source · Odoo 15.0

To gather a contact's specific supplier reference you'll need a third module that calls the field with the proper context:

partner.with_context(supplier_id=supplier.id).supplier_ref

If no supplier is found in the related partner.supplierinfo records, we'll get the regular ref field content.

To add supplier informations to your contacts:

Go to any partner form.
In Supplier Information tab customer references can be created edited or consulted.
In this tab there is a tree view, the following fields are displayed:
Ref for the customer reference
Supplier for the supplier it belongs to
