2. Introduction Enterpr ise In Odoo, a custom module is a self-contained package of code that extends or modifies the standard functionality of the Odoo system. Custom modules are used to implement additional features, business logic, or changes to the user interface that are specific to an organization's needs

3. Custom Modules Enterprise Custom modules to tailor the system to the unique requirements of a business. These custom modules serve as containers for organizing and encapsulating related functionality, such as data models, views, actions, and business logic.

4. Models and Fields Enterprise Developers can define new data models that represent the various entities or concepts relevant to the business domain. Each model defines the structure of a particular type of data, including its fields, relationships with other models, and any constraints or behaviors associated with it. Fields represent the individual pieces of data that are stored within each record of the model. These can include things like text fields, numeric fields, selection fields, date fields, etc.

5. Views Enterprise H ow the data should be presented to users through views. Views determine the layout and presentation of data on screens, including forms for data entry, lists for displaying records, kanban boards for visual workflows, and various types of reports. By defining views within a custom module, developers can control the user interface and ensure that it aligns with the specific workflows and requirements of the business.

6. Install custom module(steps) Enterprise Prepare the Environment: Ensure Odoo 17 is Installed Place the Custom Module Update the Configuration File: Add the Custom Addons Path Update Odoo: Update the Module List Install the Custom Module By following these steps, we can successfully install a custom module in Odoo 17. This process involves placing the module in the correct directory, updating Odoo’s configuration, and using the web interface to install the module.

8. Steps Enterprise Directory Structure: Odoo module has a specific directory structure, which helps organize the module’s components

9. Steps Enterprise init.py: This file is used to initialize the module. It can import o ther Python files within the module. f rom . import models manifest.py: This file contains metadata about the module, such as its name, version, author, dependencies, and a description.

10. Models Enterprise Models : Models define the data structure and business logic. They are Python classes that inherit from Odoo’s base model classes. Example from odoo import models, fields class MyModel(models.Model): _name = 'my.model' _description = 'My Custom Model' name = fields.Char(string='Name', required=True) description = fields.Text(string='Description') active = fields.Boolean(string='Active', default=True)

11. Views Enterprise Views: Views define how data is presented to the user. This includes form views, list views, kanban views, etc. Example(Form view) <record id="view_my_model_form" model="ir.ui.view"> <field name="name">my.model.form</field> <field name="model">my.model</field> <field name="arch" type="xml"> <form string="My Model"> <sheet> <group> <field name="name"/> <field name="description"/> <field name="active"/> </group> </sheet> </form> </field> </record>

12. Example(Tree view) Enterprise <record id="view_my_model_tree" model="ir.ui.view"> <field name="name">my.model.tree</field> <field name="model">my.model</field> <field name="arch" type="xml"> <tree string="My Model"> <field name="name"/> <field name="active"/> </tree> </field> </record>

13. Security Enterprise Security: Security rules and access controls are defined to manage user permissions. Example(Form view) Id,name,model_id:id,group_id:id,perm_read,perm_write, perm_create,perm_unlink access_my_model,my.model,model_my_model,base.group_user,1,1,1,1

14. Data Enterprise Data: Initial data or configuration data can be loaded when the module is installed. Example(Data) <odoo> <record id="my_model_data_1" model="my.model"> <field name="name">Example Record</field> <field name="description">This is an example record </field> </record> </odoo>
