Hi. Evaluating odoo to be used in a auto parts setting. Auto parts have part number, brand, and description. For example, Part # 123456789 Oil Filter and brand Toyota. What would be the best way to set it up and part number should be unique and primary key. Which should be the product name - part number or description ? Or what is the best field mapping.


Thanks.

Hi,

There is an 'Internal reference' field on the product template, you could use this for the part number as it is a unique field. You could also use the barcode field if you do track your products with barcodes as that would be unique as well.

You could use the 'product name' field for short description and identify the product on your orders (sales, purchase or delivery orders).. eg. Oil Filter - Toyota - Brand?

There are also other "Description" fields, (Sales, Purchase, receipts etc) which can be used to specify detailed description to be visible only on that particular operation.

 Hope this helps!
