ODOO'S FUNCTION
In Odoo's current setup, effectively managing product categories presents several challenges, including the inability to archive old categories, the lack of support for multilingual categories, and the absence of a display name field.
CLUEDOO'S FUNCTION
To enhance usability, CLuedoo proposes three key improvements to the Product Category module:
A. ARCHIVE FEATURE1. Go to Sales > Configuration > Product Categories to choose a category you want to archive > Click the saw-edged button (Actions) and choose Archive e.g. Here I choose All/Company/Depreciation/Depreciation accommodation | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
2. Head back to Product Categories, and you will see that Depreciation accommodation has disappeared | ![]() |
3. If you want to find the archived category, type the name in the search bar, click the filter, and make sure Include archived is switched on > Confirm | ![]() |
B. TRANSLATABLE DESCRIPTION1. Type the description in the language(s) that you want (Chinese/English/French) > Save | ![]() ![]() |
2. Go to My Profile > Preferences > Language to choose your desired language > Save e.g., Here I choose French | ![]() |
3. Head back to Product Categories/Catégories de produits, and you will see the description translated into French | ![]() |
C. DISPLAY NAME FIELD1. Type the code that you want for the category > Save | ![]() |
2. The code will appear in the display name of the category. If the category has child categories, the code will appear on their display names as well. | ![]() |
