This module adds a field UNECE Code on units of measure to allow the use of a standard written by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (which has 56 members states in Europe, America and Central Asia, cf Wikipedia). The codification of the units of measures are defined in UNECE/CEFACT Trade Facilitation Recommendation number 20 (direct link to revision 12).
This codification is used for example in the two main international standards for electronic invoicing:
- Cross Industry Invoice (CII),
- Universal Business Language (UBL).
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds a UNECE Code field to units of measure so each unit can carry the official United Nations code used in international e-invoicing standards.
This module extends the Units of Measure configuration in Odoo with an extra field called UNECE Code. The field is a simple text field, so you can type or edit the code yourself on any unit of measure.
Where you see it: - On the unit of measure form, inside the existing details section. - In the list of units of measure, as an optional column you can show or hide.
What it does automatically: - When the module is installed, it fills in the UNECE code for the standard units that come with Odoo, such as unit (C62), dozen (DPC), day (DAY), hour (HUR), meter (MTR), litre (LTR), kilogram (KGM), ton (TNE), pound (LBR), inch (INH), foot (FOT), gallon (GLL) and many others. - It does not add any checks, restrictions, computations or scheduled actions.
Which areas it touches:
- It only changes the uom.uom model and its two standard views (form and list). It does not modify products, sales orders, invoices or any other document.
The codes follow the UNECE/CEFACT Recommendation 20 nomenclature, which is used in international electronic invoicing formats such as CII and UBL. The module itself only stores the code; it does not generate any e-invoice file.
