FAQ

These checkboxes allow users to manually specify whether a contact is a customer, a vendor (supplier), or both. This ensures the contact appears in the relevant modules such as Sales and Purchase.

Odoo manages this functionality internally using customer rank and supplier rank. However, the checkboxes are not visible by default in the form view. You can expose them by customizing the view.
