Hello,

I've added a custom field in res.partner model that is [x_branch].

In Sales/Quotations when user want to create new Sale Order. I want the customer dropdown list to show "name #branch" instead of just name. For example, a customer name "VendorABC" with branch "4" should be display as "VendorABC #0004" in dropdown list.

How can i achieve this?

Thanks.

Hi,

What you can do is that rewrite the existing name_get function of the res.partner model if it exists, if not inherit the res.partner model and write the name_get function.

Inside this function you can add the branch name along with the partner name, what you return from this function will be shown in the drop down list of this model.


See a sample,



Thanks

@Niyas, Thanks for some direction I see a  "def name_get(self): " in res_partner.py now.

Another question. in case of inheriting res.partner model. I do need to change partner_id in the view "sale.order.form" to refer to this new inherited model too, is that correct? And how can I do this.

No need to change the partner_id field
