Introduction
In day-to-day operations, users often create products directly from transactional screens such as Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, or Invoices. While convenient, this can lead to incomplete product data, inconsistent records and data management issues.
The Hide Create Options addon for Odoo addresses this challenge by restricting the ability to create or edit products directly from key business modules.
Why We Built This Module
When products are created directly from Sales, Inventory, Purchase, Manufacturing, or Invoicing modules:
* The system may not enforce all mandatory product fields
* Users may create products with incomplete or incorrect information
* Unauthorized users may create products without proper validation
* Product master data becomes inconsistent and hard to manage
To avoid these issues, we built this module to disable the “Create” and “Create and Edit” options for users who are not explicitly authorized, ensuring that products are created only through proper product management workflows.
Key Features
* Hide “Create” Option in Product Fields
* Prevent Incomplete Product Creation
* Access Controlled by User Group
* Dynamic Visibility Based on Permissions
* Module-Specific Restrictions
Business Benefits
* Improved Data Quality
* Enhanced Security
* Better Process Control
* Reduced Errors
* Operational Efficiency
