Skill: Odoo Product Management

This skill provides the agent with the expertise required to manage Odoo's product catalog, covering both the general templates and specific product variants.

Core Mandates

1. Snapshot Awareness (Dynamic Discovery)

• Mandate: The product-fields.json resource is a snapshot of common Odoo fields. It is NOT exhaustive.
• Verification: If you need to interact with custom fields or if the user references attributes not in your resource, you MUST call inspect_model on product.template or product.product to retrieve the "Live Truth".

2. Template vs. Variant

• Mandate: When executing stock moves, sales lines, or purchase lines, ALWAYS use the ID from product.product.

2. Attribute Immutability & Safety

• Mandate: NEVER attempt to modify attribute_line_ids on a product.template that has historical transactions. This is a destructive operation in Odoo.
• Variant Explosion: Before adding attributes, calculate the total number of variants (Product A x Attribute B x Attribute C). If the resulting count exceeds 50, you MUST seek explicit confirmation from the user due to performance risks.

3. Category-Based Configuration

• Mandate: Do not assume accounting properties (Income/Expense accounts) are set on the product level. Always check the linked product.category if these fields are null. The category also determines the inventory valuation method (FIFO/AVCO/Standard).

4. Product Types (type field)

• consu (Goods): Tangible merchandise (storable if is_storable is true).
• service: Intangible services (never tracked in inventory).
• combo: A set of other products sold together.

3. Price & Cost

• list_price: The base Sales Price (on Template).
• standard_price: The Cost price. Note: This is company-dependent in many configurations.
• price_extra: Additional cost added to a specific Variant (on Product).

4. Search Workflow

To find a specific product efficiently:

1. Reference First: Search by barcode or default_code (Internal Reference).
2. Variants: If searching for a specific configuration, search product.product directly using attribute values.
