Overview

When a new product is created and its category is set, this module triggers an automatic sequence to assign the engineering_code field (the Part Number). Sequences can be configured globally or per product category, so different product families can use different numbering series.

Key Features

• Automatic part number generation via Odoo ir.sequence
• Per-category sequence configuration on product.category
• Onchange hook: changing the product category triggers a new code from the appropriate sequence
• Existing codes are preserved when the sequence has not changed

Configuration

Assign a sequence to one or more product categories via the Product Category form (field: Part Number sequence). A global fallback sequence with code plm.eng.code is used when no category-level sequence is configured.

Dependencies

• product — Odoo product models
• plm — OdooPLM core module
