2. Introduction Enterpr ise Odoo relies heavily on data to define how modules work. This data includes things like what menus and screens look like, who can access what, and even the content of reports. XML data files are the main tool used to organize and set up this data in Odoo.

3. Enterprise How we can define data in Odoo via XML files In Odoo, there can be any number of <record> elements within the root element <odoo>. These records can include various entities such as products, customers, sales orders, purchase orders, or any other data managed by Odoo. The <record> elements are organized within the <data> element, which serves as a container for grouping related records together. The <data noupdate="1"> domain ensures that the records within it are applied only once and are not updated subsequently. Conversely, records outside this domain, in the regular <data> section, may be subject to updates according to standard Odoo behavior.

4. Enterprise Core Operations in Odoo XML Files <record> Element: Represents an operation on a record in the database. Attributes: id : Unique identifier for the record within the XML file. model: Name of the model (database table) to create or update. <field> Elements: Define the fields of the record. Attributes: name: Name of the field. ref: References a valid external id for relational fields (e.g., Many2one). type: Used to interpret and convert the field’s content. value: Direct value to be set for the field.
