Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
I'm currently using Odoo Online (SaaS) version 18.2+e (Enterprise Edition) and I'm trying to hide the internal reference (Product Code / default_code) from the Product field in Sale Order Lines.
I've successfully achieved this in Invoice Lines , Delivery Order Lines by using the context key:
'display_default_code': False
Is there a reliable way to remove or hide the internal reference from the product display in Sale Order Lines, like it works in other document lines?
Thanks in advance!
Steps to Hide Internal Reference from Sale Order Lines:
This worked for me!
Small remark: editing the context anly applies on new orders. Existing orders are still printed with the internal reference
Hi,
In Odoo SaaS (18.2+e), the internal reference (default_code) is shown in many product dropdowns by default, including Sale Order Lines.
Odoo uses a context variable 'display_default_code' to control whether the internal reference appears next to product names.
This works well in Invoice Lines and Delivery Order Lines, and can be applied similarly in Sale Order Lines.
Unfortunately, since you're on Odoo Online (SaaS), you cannot directly modify the XML views to inject the context on the product_id field in sale.order.line.
A potential workaround is to create a custom Studio field or duplicate the product_id field using Studio with the context { 'display_default_code': False }, if Odoo Studio allows context injection (limited support).
If Studio isn't enough, the most reliable solution is to request Odoo support via a ticket, asking them to hide default_code using the same context method used in invoices/deliveries.
Hope it helps.
Can't see how the Studio approach could work, since Odoo needs that field when you add a product.
In Odoo SaaS 18.2+e, the internal reference (default_code) is shown in Sale Order lines by default.
To hide it, go to Studio, open the Sale Order Line form view, click on the product field, and in the right panel, uncheck the "Show Product Code" option or hide the related field showing the default code.
This will stop the internal reference from appearing on the sales order line. Changes apply only to your custom view.
There is no checkbox and you can't hide the field with the product in it!!

After 'display_default_code':False, the IR code is shown as a description. How can I stop that from happening, as I need the description column for another purpose?
