Product Dynamic Codes v.11
The tool to flexibly and automatically update product internal references
Advanced rules to construct product reference
Code positions for certain products might be empty: e.g. for services there is no sense to have a code part of the attribute 'material'.
Each position has rules to generate a code value. For example, for products made of aluminium it is '-AL', for products with material steel it is '-ST'. In order a code part is calculated for this product, there should be at least a single rule this product satisfies.

Static and dynamic code parts
How dynamic code parts work
- Use fields of a product variant and product templates
- Apply any field of the types: char, integer, float, date and date with time, selection, and many2one.
- Rely upon any standard or custom fields (e.g. manufacturer or manufacture date)
- In case of many2one field (e.g. a related product category) you should select its field (for example, category name or category custom code)
- Use not the whole field value, but its part. For instance, apply first 2 letters (0-1) of a category name or only month of a manufacture date (5-7). Leave '0' in both start and end to retrieve the whole field value

Automatic generation of codes
For certain product templates and variants you can switch the auto update off. If you mark items as 'Manual reference': their codes will be not generated by rules. References become editable for such products and should be updated by users.
When product references are updated
Codes are updated in the following cases:
- When a product is created or updated
- Regularly by the cron job for all products (have a look a the tab 'Configuration', the section 'Scheduled jobs')
- Manually when you push the button on a product form
- Manually for all products when you push the button on the configuration page
Why the logic is so complex? To avoid slowdowns. The point is that codes rules are advanced and there is no way to define recalculation triggers. Generating codes on fly would result in low performance. That is why to make sure codes are generated, Odoo regularly look over all products.

Exclude products from reference automatic updates
Coding relies upon standard Odoo tools
Product coding is global: rules are applied to each company in the same way. Simultaneously, you can restrict products in rules by using filters by company.
The right to define product coding rules belongs only to Odoo administrators.
