A basic module for Product Information Management.
The module itself doesn't do anything. It only creates a new application menu "PIM" gathering native views about Products :
- Products and Products Variants views
- Attributes
- Categories
It also creates a new user group category with 3 access rights levels :
- PIM Reader
- PIM User
- PIM Manager
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds a dedicated PIM application menu in Odoo that gathers product, variant, attribute and category screens in one place, plus three access levels (PIM Reader, PIM User, PIM Manager) to control who can view or edit the product catalogue.
This module installs a new application called PIM, visible as its own icon in the apps menu. It does not add new business logic; it reorganises existing product screens under one roof so catalogue managers can work from a single place.
Inside the PIM app you find: - Products: a list of products shown first in list view, with image, internal reference, barcode, name, category, unit of measure and attribute set. - Product Variants: the sellable variants of those products. - Variants Attributes and Attributes Values: the attributes and their values used to build variants. - Attributes: Product Attribute Sets, Attribute Groups and Product Attributes, all filtered to the product template model. - Categories: the standard product categories screen.
The module also creates a PIM access category with three levels: PIM Reader (view the catalogue only), PIM User (edit products but not create attributes) and PIM Manager (edit products and create attributes). Each level automatically includes the rights of the level below it.
No new models, automated rules, emails or scheduled jobs are added by this module; it only provides menus, list views, actions and user groups on top of the standard product and attribute features.
