auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 14.0Adds an option to the Point of Sale settings that hides the product list until the cashier searches or picks a category, so the screen starts empty instead of showing the first products.
This module adds a new setting to each Point of Sale configuration, called "Empty Home". It is switched on by default and can be turned off per point of sale.
When the setting is active, the product grid in the Point of Sale screen stays empty as long as no category is selected and no search has been made. A short message is shown instead, telling the cashier to scan a barcode or search products by category or by name.
- The option appears in the Point of Sale configuration form, next to the existing start-category setting.
- It only affects the product list when the root category (no category) is selected; choosing a category or typing a search shows products normally.
- It is meant to avoid showing the default first products and to reduce the risk of picking the wrong item.
The module touches the pos.config model by adding the iface_empty_home field, and extends the Point of Sale front-end product list and database behaviour. No new menus, reports, emails or scheduled actions are added.
