How to search res.partner records with a different field name in many2one fields?

Question

I've added a custom field called organization_no to the 'res.partner' model. Now I want to search res.partner records with the newly created organization_no, in many2one fields(example the partner_id in sale order form).
I've tried _rec_name = 'organization_name'. But this doesn't seem to work. Is this even possible? Any ideas?

class ResPartner(models.Model):
_inherit = 'res.partner'
_rec_name = 'organization_no'
organization_no = fields.Char(string="Organization No")

Hi Jones,
You can do it using name_search() [1] method.
Ex:
@api.model
def name_search(self, name, args=None, operator='ilike', limit=100):
args = args or []
recs = self.search([('organization_no', operator, name)] + args, limit=limit)
if not recs.ids:
return super(ResPartner, self).name_search(name=name, args=args,
operator=operator,
limit=limit)
return recs.name_get()
I hope this will help you.

Hi,
You can define a  * name_get * function for the model * res ** .partner * .

See the sample code below,
class ResPartner(models.Model):
_inherit = 'res.partner'
@api.multi
@api.depends ( 'name' ,  'email' )
def  name_get ( self ):
result = []
for rec in  self :
name = str (rec.name) + ' ' + str (rec.email)
result.append((rec.id , name))
return result
Thanks
