auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds Operating Units to contacts and restricts which contacts each user can see based on their allowed Operating Units. Contacts linked to a user automatically inherit that user's Operating Units.
This module links contacts (partners) to Operating Units, the organisational divisions used to separate data in Odoo. On the contact form, a new "Operating Units" field appears after the Tags field, shown only to users who have the multi operating unit setting enabled. The same field is added to the contacts list view and to the contact search filters, so you can filter contacts by Operating Unit.
Business rules added by the module:
- When a contact is linked to a user, its Operating Units are automatically taken from that user's assigned Operating Units.
- If someone tries to change the Operating Units directly on a contact that is linked to a user, Odoo blocks the change and asks them to update the Operating Units on the related user instead.
- When searching or counting contacts, users only see contacts that belong to their own Operating Units, plus contacts that have no Operating Unit at all.
The module touches the res.partner model and its form, list and search views. It depends on the Operating Unit module, which provides the Operating Units themselves and the user assignments used by these rules.
