Auto Product Code Generation
Auto Product Code Generation
Auto-generate Internal Reference (default_code) based on configuration
This module provides automatic Internal Reference (default_code) generation for Products and Variants.
Key Features
Built natively on Odoo/Viindoo to streamline real business operations:
Enable/disable auto code generation per company in Settings
Auto-generate **Internal Reference**
- Code is generated from Product Category config (Sequence + Product Code Prefix).
- If the category is not configured and the "Get code from product name" option is enabled, the system creates a prefix from the first letter of each word in the Product Name.
- Internal Reference is only auto-generated when the field is empty.
Bulk update:
Action Update Product Code on Product and Variant to regenerate codes for selected records (this action overwrites existing codes).
Benefits
Less manual entry of internal codes.
Standardize code rules by product category.
