Product Barcode Constraint per Company

This module extend Odoo functionalities changing the constraint of the barcode on the product.product model.

With this module, two products can have the same barcode, if there don't belong to the same company.

This constraint was introduced in Odoo V9.0 in that commit, and doesn't fit with some multi companies implementation where products are not shared.

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Allows the same product barcode to be used by different companies in a multi-company Odoo database, instead of being globally unique.

By default Odoo blocks saving two products with the same barcode, even when those products belong to different companies. This module changes that rule so the uniqueness check only looks at products of the same company (plus products that have no company set).

  • The barcode uniqueness check on product.product is now limited to the company of the product being saved.
  • Two products can share a barcode if they belong to different companies.
  • Products without a company are still compared with all products, so a barcode used by a shared product cannot be reused by a company-specific product.

There are no new menus, screens, buttons or reports. The change is automatic: it only affects what happens when a user enters or edits a barcode on a product form and saves it. If the barcode already exists in the same company, Odoo still shows the usual uniqueness error; if it exists only in another company, the save is accepted.

The module touches the product.product model and its barcode constraint only. It does not change prices, stock, sales or purchasing behaviour.
