euroblaze / default_code_gen

A simple module to uptick default_code. Works best for numeric code series.

Warnings!!

1. If you have a great number of products, like >1000, import all products first (with default_code) with Excel etc., then activate this module.
2. This computation of default_code will be triggered when new products are created via Excel files. So reduce Batch size to <100. Expect LONG upload times, and even timeouts!

Auto Generate Product default_code

• This Odoo module automatically generates a new default code for each product created in Odoo.
• The new default code is based on the largest existing default code, incrementing it by 1.
• If the largest existing code contains non-numeric characters, they are stripped out, and only the numeric part is considered for incrementing. (this could be flawed code sequence).

Aside of this simple logic of incrementing numeric product codes, more complicated product codes can also be generated based on the business' needs.

Features

• Auto-generates a new default code for new products.
• Handles non-numeric codes.

Deployment and Use

• Place the entire module directory in your Odoo addons path.
• Update the module list in the Odoo interface.
• Install the module through the Odoo Apps interface.

Once installed, the module will automatically generate a default_code for each new product created using a product.template view=form. The code will be displayed in the form view and is set as read-only to prevent manual edits.
