auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0Adds a "Type of Measure" field to Units of Measure categories and units, and shows the resulting type on products. It is a technical module that prepares data for other modules rather than adding a screen of its own.
This module brings back a classification of units of measure by the kind of quantity they express. On each Unit of Measure category you now choose a Type of Measure among Units, Weight, Working Time, Length, Surface and Volume. The choice is mandatory, and Odoo refuses to save two categories with the same type: each measurement type can only exist once.
Every unit of measure automatically inherits the type of its category, and each product automatically inherits the type of its unit of measure. Both inherited values are stored and read-only, so users cannot change them by hand.
Where it appears: - On the Unit of Measure category form, the new field is placed right after the category name. - On the Unit of Measure form, it is placed after the rounding field. - On the product form, the value is kept in the background (hidden field) next to the purchase unit of measure.
When the module is installed on an existing database, the known standard categories (Units, Weight, Working Time, Length, Surface, Volume) are filled in automatically, and the values are then propagated to units of measure and products. No menus, reports, emails or scheduled actions are added; the module only prepares this classification for use by other modules.
