auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 13.0Adds an extra permission level that controls who can update product costs in Odoo. Users without the 'Modify product costs' right no longer see the button that opens the cost update wizard.
This module works together with the product cost security and stock accounting features to make cost editing stricter. It creates a hidden user group called 'Modify product costs'. Only users in this group can use the button that opens the wizard for changing a product's standard price.
Where it appears: - On the product form, the button that opens the cost update wizard is hidden for users who are not in the 'Modify product costs' group. - On the product variant quick edit screen, the same cost update button is also hidden for those users. - The action that opens the standard price change wizard is restricted to the group, so it cannot be launched by others.
Business rules and automatic behaviour: - A new computed field on the product template checks whether the current user has write access to products. If not, the cost update button is hidden even if the user has cost permissions. - The group 'Modify product costs' automatically includes the existing 'Product costs' group, so members get both rights.
Models touched: product.template and product.product. The module also modifies the standard price change wizard action.
