Sale / Purchase / Invoice Lines â Product Description in Separate Column
Add a dedicated Product Description column to Odoo 18 sale orders, purchase orders, and invoices â view and edit descriptions directly in order lines without opening the product form.
Standard Odoo combines product name and description in a single line field. This module separates them: the product stays in its column and the description gets its own visible, editable column across all document types in Odoo 18.
