AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Lets you set default customer and vendor taxes on a product category and push them to all products in that category. Products can also inherit these taxes automatically when created or when their category changes.

This module adds tax fields directly on product categories, so you can define default customer taxes and vendor taxes once per category instead of on every product.

On the product category form (Accounting tab), a new Taxes section shows the customer and vendor taxes, plus a button "-> Apply to Products". Clicking it asks for confirmation and then updates the taxes of all products in that category, but only those where the option "Taxes updatable from category" is enabled.

On each product, a new checkbox "Taxes updatable from category" (on by default) controls whether the product's taxes may be overwritten by the category. When you change a product's category, its customer and vendor taxes are automatically replaced by the ones defined on the new category. The same happens when a product is created with a category and no taxes are given: it takes the category's taxes.

This affects product categories, product templates and product variants, and works together with the standard invoicing setup. It does not create new menus; the new fields appear inside the existing product category and product forms.
