This module is designed to extend product printing features. It allows user to create new print categories of products depending of the data that are on the labels of the products variants.

When a field has changed, the product will be set as 'To print' automatically.

This module requires to install custom modules to have pricetags templates, or alternatively to create pricetag reports templates by UI.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Lets you group products into print categories with their own label layout, and automatically flags products as 'To print' when their label-relevant data changes. You can then print price tags for one product, a selection, or a whole category.

This module adds a way to organise products for label printing. Under Sales > Products you get two new menus: Print Categories and Print Category Rules.

A Print Category holds a name, a company, a Qweb label template and a list of product fields that matter for printing. On the category form you see how many products it contains and how many are waiting to be printed, with buttons to open those product lists and to start printing.

Print Category Rules assign a category automatically: a rule links a product category (including its children) to a print category, with a priority order and an optional company. When you change a product's category or company, the matching rule fills in its print category.

On products and product templates you now see a Print Category field and a 'To print' flag. A product is marked 'To print' when it gets a print category, and again automatically whenever one of the fields listed on its print category is modified. For templates with several variants, these options are set on the variants.

The Print Products wizard (available from products, templates or a print category) lists the products and quantities to print, then generates the Pricetags PDF using each category's own template. After printing, the products are cleared from the 'To print' list. A dedicated manager group controls who may edit categories and rules.
