How Much Time Are You Wasting?

If your team creates 50 products per month, here's what incomplete data costs you:

Without This Module

  • 5 min fixing missing barcodes → 250 min/month
  • 10 min correcting price errors → 500 min/month
  • 3 min resolving duplicates → 150 min/month
  • 5 min fixing inconsistent names → 250 min/month
Total wasted: ~19 hours/month = $285-570 in labor costs

With Product Defaults

  • Required fields enforced at save time
  • Price validations prevent $0 or negative costs
  • Duplicate names blocked automatically
  • Names auto-formatted (UPPERCASE/Title Case)
Time saved: ~19 hours/month ROI: Module pays for itself in <2 weeks

See It In Action

Real-time validation keeps your catalog clean

Validation error message showing missing required fields

Clear, actionable error messages tell users exactly what's missing before they can save. No more incomplete products in your system! The validation fires immediately when the user clicks Save, preventing bad data from ever entering your database.

Complete Feature Set

    Perfect for retail & food businesses
  • Auto-enable inventory tracking for Goods
    When Product Type = Goods, tracking is enabled automatically
  • Auto-enable expiration dates for lot tracking
    When tracking by lots/serial numbers, expiration is enabled

Mandatory Field Validation

  • Internal Reference (SKU) required
    Block saving without reference code
  • Barcode required
    Essential for POS and warehouse operations
  • Product Tags required
    At least one tag must be selected
  • Product Image required

Default product category configuration

Simple one-time setup that saves you time on every product creation

The Final Result

Completed product with all fields filled

Notice: Name is formatted in UPPERCASE, default category "DESKTOPS" was applied automatically, and all mandatory fields are completed.

Who Benefits Most

This module is particularly valuable for businesses with large catalogs or multiple users creating products

Retail & Wholesale

Managing hundreds or thousands of SKUs? Ensure every product has a barcode, image, and pricing. Perfect for businesses using POS systems where incomplete data causes checkout delays.

Manufacturing

Maintain accurate BOMs with correct cost prices. Prevent negative costs that throw off inventory valuations. Ensure every component has a proper reference code for MRP calculations.

Food & Beverage

Auto-enable "To Weigh with Scale" for produce items. Track lot/serial numbers with automatic expiration dates. Ensure products are properly tagged for allergen tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose which validations to enable?

Yes! Every validation rule can be enabled/disabled individually via checkboxes in Sales → Settings → Product Defaults. Pick only the validations that match your business needs.

Will this work with my existing products?

Yes! The module only enforces validations on product creation and editing—it doesn't retroactively validate existing products. You can clean up old products gradually while preventing new issues from day one.

Does it work with product variants?

Yes! Validations work correctly with product templates and variants. Some validations (like naming and category) apply to the template level, while others (like barcode and cost price) can be variant-specific.

Does it support multi-company setups?

Yes! The configuration and validation rules are company-aware. In multi-company setups, each company can configure different validation rules. All data is properly segregated with security rules.

Will this conflict with other modules?

The module is designed to integrate cleanly with Odoo's product architecture. It uses standard Odoo methods and doesn't override core functionality. Extensively tested with common modules like Inventory, POS, Sales, and Purchase across v17, v18, and v19.

Can I import products via CSV with this enabled?

Yes, but your CSV must include all mandatory fields you've enabled. The validation fires during import too, which actually helps catch bad data before it enters your system. Import errors will clearly indicate which fields are missing.
