AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0

In the Point of Sale, products a selected customer has already bought in the past are shown in purple, both in the product list and on the order lines, so cashiers can spot repeat purchases at a glance.

This module adds a visual buying-history hint to the Point of Sale screen. When a customer is selected on an order, Odoo looks up every product that customer has ever bought in previous POS orders and remembers that list for the current order.

  • Products the customer already purchased are displayed in purple in the product grid.
  • The same purple colour is applied to the matching lines in the current order, so the cashier sees the history directly on the ticket.
  • The colour disappears when no customer is selected, or when the customer has never bought that product.
  • The history is refreshed automatically each time the customer on the order changes, and also when an existing order is reloaded.

The lookup is done through a dedicated method on pos.order.line that queries past POS orders linked to the customer. The module only changes the Point of Sale interface; it does not add menus, reports, emails or scheduled jobs, and it does not modify prices, stock or accounting. It is a display-only aid meant to help cashiers recognise regular purchases and suggest related items.

How It Works

When a product is added to a POS order:

  • If the selected customer has previously purchased this product, the product label in the order line is highlighted in purple.
  • This helps cashiers or sales staff recognize returning purchases and offer better recommendations or upsells.
