Autocomplete Partner Address

Instantly autocomplete customer addresses using the Mapbox Geocoding API - fill street, city, zip, and coordinates in one click.

Odoo 19 Mapbox Geocoding Community & Enterprise OPL-1

What does this module do?

Autocomplete Partner Address integrates the Mapbox Geocoding API directly into Odoo's address fields. As you type a street name or city, the module returns real address suggestions that you can select with a single click - automatically filling in the street, city, ZIP code, country, and GPS coordinates.

The autocomplete is available everywhere an address field appears: the Contacts app, sale orders, purchase orders, invoices, and any other form with a partner address block.

Instant address suggestions

Type a few characters in the street field to get real-time address suggestions powered by Mapbox's global geocoding database.

Longitude & latitude auto-fill

GPS coordinates are automatically populated when an address is selected, keeping location data accurate without manual entry.

Country-aware filtering

Suggestions are filtered by the partner's country so results stay relevant and local, reducing noise in the dropdown.

Works from any form

Autocomplete is available in Contacts, sale orders, purchase orders, invoices, and every form that includes a partner address block.

Multi-language support

Address suggestions are returned in the active Odoo language, making the tool useful for multilingual teams.

Community, Enterprise & Odoo.sh

Fully compatible with all Odoo deployment types - self-hosted Community, Enterprise, and Odoo.sh.

Before vs. after

The comparison below shows how much faster address data entry becomes after installing this module. Left side: standard Odoo address form with manual entry. Right side: with the module - one click fills the complete address.

Using address autocomplete

Once the module is installed and configured, autocomplete is available immediately on all address fields.

  1. Open a contact or any form with an address

    Navigate to Contacts and create or open a partner record. The autocomplete also works from sale orders, purchase orders, invoices, and any other form that includes a partner address block.

  2. Start typing in the Street field

    Click on the Street field and type the first few characters of the address. A dropdown of suggestions from the Mapbox Geocoding API appears automatically. Results are filtered by the partner's country if one is already set.

  3. Select an address from the dropdown

    Click on the matching suggestion. The street, city, ZIP code, state, country, latitude, and longitude fields are all filled in automatically. No manual entry needed.

  4. Create a customer directly from a sale order

    You can also use autocomplete when creating a new customer record inline from a sale order or any other form - without leaving the current document.

  5. Save the record

    Click Save (or use the breadcrumb to navigate away). The address and coordinates are stored on the partner record.

Tip: set the partner's country before typing the street. This focuses suggestions on that country and significantly improves accuracy.

Module configuration

The module requires a Mapbox API access token to function. Once the token is saved in settings, autocomplete is active on all address fields with no further configuration needed.

Where to find the settings

Go to Settings > General Settings and scroll to the Contacts section. You will find the Autocomplete addresses setting with a token field.

How to configure

  1. Obtain your Mapbox access token (see the Get a Mapbox Token tab for full instructions).
  2. Go to Settings > General Settings > Contacts > Autocomplete addresses.
  3. Paste your token into the Token field.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Open any partner record and start typing in the street field to verify autocomplete is working.
Important: without a valid Mapbox access token the address suggestion dropdown will not appear. Make sure the token is saved before testing.

Country filtering

Suggestions are automatically scoped to the partner's country when one is set. For best results, set the country on the partner before typing the street address. If no country is set, global suggestions are returned.

The Mapbox token is stored at company level. In a multi-company setup, each company can have its own token.

How to get a Mapbox access token

A Mapbox access token is required to use the geocoding API. Tokens are free to obtain and Mapbox's free tier is more than sufficient for most Odoo installations.

Time required: approximately 5 minutes. You need a Mapbox account to proceed. Creating one is free.

  1. Create a Mapbox account or sign in

    Go to https://www.mapbox.com/ and create a free account or sign in if you already have one.

  2. Go to your Mapbox dashboard and generate a token

    Once logged in, navigate to your account dashboard. Under Access tokens, you can use the default public token or create a new one scoped for geocoding. Copy the token value.

  3. Paste the token into Odoo settings

    In Odoo go to Settings > General Settings > Contacts > Autocomplete addresses. Paste the token into the Token field and click Save.

  4. Verify - open a partner and type an address

    Open any partner record, click on the Street field, and start typing. If the token is valid, a dropdown of address suggestions will appear immediately.

Free tier: Mapbox's free plan includes 100 000 geocoding requests per month - well above the usage of any standard Odoo instance. No credit card is required to start.

Troubleshooting

  • Suggestions do not appear after saving the token: double-check that the token was saved correctly and that the Autocomplete addresses setting is enabled. Try refreshing the browser.
  • Suggestions appear but coordinates are not filled: verify your Mapbox token has the Geocoding scope enabled. Tokens without geocoding permissions will not return coordinate data.
  • Results are in the wrong language: check the language configured in your Odoo user profile. Suggestions are returned in the active Odoo interface language.
