auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Adds a Sales setting that makes sale order lines show only the product's sale description as the line text, instead of the usual reference, product name and description combination.

This module gives you a new option in the Sales settings screen, inside the quotation and order settings area, called "Allow using only the product sale description on the sales order lines". When switched on, it applies to users who belong to the matching access group, so you can decide who gets this behaviour.

With the option active, when a product is added to a quotation or sale order line, the line text is taken directly from the product's sale description. If the product has no sale description, the line keeps its normal text. The description is also translated to the language of the customer on the order, so the customer sees it in their own language.

  • The setting is a simple on/off switch in Sales settings.
  • It only changes lines that have a product selected.
  • It affects the sale.order.line model and its line name computation.
  • A dedicated user group controls who is affected by the change.
  • The product selection screen in the sales order form is also adjusted so the line label follows the same rule.

Nothing else in the sales flow is changed: prices, taxes, quantities and other line details stay as standard Odoo.
