What this module does
Smart Duplicate Detector adds fuzzy duplicate detection to any Odoo model. Configure detection rules per model, choose which fields to compare, and set a similarity threshold. When a user opens or edits a form that closely matches an existing record, a yellow warning banner appears instantly at the top of the form, showing the match percentage and a direct link to the duplicate.
Traditional duplicate checks only catch exact matches or block the user from saving entirely. This module uses Python's built-in difflib to detect near-duplicates such as typos, name variations, and spacing differences, without ever interrupting the workflow or blocking saves.

🔍
Fuzzy Matching
Catches near-duplicates that exact matching misses. "Muneeb Ahmad" and "Muneeb Ahmed" are flagged as a 92% match, even with typos or spacing differences. |
⚙️
Configurable Threshold
Set the minimum similarity percentage per model, for example 70%, 85% or 95%. Strict for contact names, relaxed for product descriptions. You control the sensitivity. |
🔶
Non-Blocking Banner
A sticky yellow warning bar at the top of the form, not a blocking pop-up. Users are informed and can decide, but are never prevented from saving their work. |
|
🔗 Clickable Deep Link
The banner shows the match percentage and a "View Record" button that opens the duplicate in one click, making comparison and merge decisions instant. |
📊 Works on Any Model
Configure rules for contacts, customers, vendors, products, employees, or any custom model. One module covers your entire database. |
|
🧠 Smart Field Handling
Text and name fields use fuzzy similarity scoring. Dates, numbers, selections, and Many2one fields use exact matching automatically. No manual field-type configuration needed. |
📦 Import-Safe
Pass context key duplicate_skip=True to bypass duplicate checks during bulk imports, data migrations, or any automated script without disabling the module. |
