Unique Product Code
Demo video: Unique Product Code
Overview
The Unique Product Code module ensures that each product in the Odoo system has a unique internal reference. When users attempt to enter a code that already exists, the system will display a warning and prevent the product from being saved. This helps avoid confusion in product management and inventory data.
Key Features
- Prevent Duplicate Product Codes - Automatically checks and warns when detecting an internal reference that is already in use.
- Flexible Configuration - Allows enabling/disabling duplicate checking in company settings.
- Product Restoration Support - Checks for duplicates even when reactivating archived products (unarchive).
Benefits
- Prevent Data Entry Errors - Especially useful for businesses with large product catalogs.
- Improve Accuracy - Helps manage inventory and orders more effectively.
- Ensure Data Consistency - Helps the system operate more stably and synchronously.
- Easy Setup - Quick configuration through system interface without additional customization.
Target Users

- Organizations Requiring High Accuracy - Ensure product data is not duplicated or confused.
