Sale / Purchase / Invoice Lines — Product Description in Separate Column

Add a dedicated Product Description column to Odoo 18 sale orders, purchase orders, and invoices — 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.

Who is this for? Odoo 18 users in sales, purchasing, and accounting who work with products that have meaningful descriptions — specifications, notes, or instructions — that should be visible and editable directly in the order line without extra clicks. Works on Odoo.sh and On-Premise.

Key Features:

  • Dedicated Description Column A separate column is added for product descriptions in all Odoo 18 order and invoice line tables
  • Editable Inline Edit the product description directly in the line without navigating to the product form
  • Consistent Across All Modules Works in Sale Orders, Purchase Orders, Customer Invoices, Vendor Bills, Credit Notes, and Debit Notes in Odoo 18
  • Improved Clarity Each product's details are clearly visible for your team and customers without scrolling or expanding lines

How it works:

Sales → Quotations / Orders

Before installing — Odoo 18 sale order line without separate description column:

Odoo 18 sale order line before module showing combined product and description in single field


After installing — Odoo 18 sale order line with separate product description column:

Purchase → Requests for Quotation / Orders

Before installing — Odoo 18 purchase order line without description column:

After installing — Odoo 18 purchase order line with separate description column:

Invoicing → Customer / Vendor Invoices

Frequently Asked Questions

Does changing the description in the order line update the product's description in the product form?
No — the description edited in the order line is specific to that order line only. The product's master description in the product form remains unchanged in Odoo 18.
Does this work for credit notes and debit notes too?
Yes — the separate description column appears on Customer Invoices, Vendor Bills, Credit Notes, and Debit Notes in Odoo 18.
Will this conflict with other modules that customize the order line view?
The module uses standard Odoo view inheritance to add the column. Minor conflicts with other view-customizing modules are possible — contact us for compatibility assistance.
Is this compatible with Odoo Community edition?
Yes — compatible with Odoo 18.0 Community and Enterprise on Odoo.sh and On-Premise. Not available for Odoo Online (SaaS).
