Product catalog

The Product Catalog is a visual tool available in forms such as:

• Sales Quotations (SOs)
• Requests for Quotation (RfQs)
• Purchase Orders (POs)
• Manufacturing Orders (MOs)
• Bills of Materials (BoMs)

It opens in a new page when triggered from the order line section of a form, allowing users to select items by browsing product cards that display essential product information at a glance.

Where to Find It

To access the product catalog:

1. Open or create a quotation, order, or BoM in Odoo (e.g., go to Sales app → New Quotation).
2. Navigate to the first tab in the form (e.g., Order Lines, Products, Components, or Parts).
3. On the first blank line, click the Catalog link — this will open the product catalog in a new page.

What’s in the Product Catalog?

Each product card in the catalog includes:

• Product Image
• Product Name
• Price or Cost (depending on whether the item is sold, purchased, or used in production)
• Reference Code (e.g., DESK0005)
• On-hand Quantity
• Variant Attributes (e.g., Color: White)

This layout helps users get a quick overview of all available products and their details.

Filtering and Searching Products

The catalog provides several filtering tools to help users find exactly what they need:

Search Bar & Filter Options:

• Click the down arrow next to the search bar to open advanced filters:
  • Services – shows only service-type products
  • Products – shows only tangible products
  • In the Order – available when editing an order, shows products already added

Sidebar Filters:

• Product Category – filter by assigned product categories
• Attributes – filter by variant attributes like size, color, etc.

These options are especially helpful when managing large product databases.

Adding Products to an Order or BoM

To add a product:

• Click the product card or the Add button (bottom-right corner of the card)
• Each click adds 1 unit to the selected order/form
• Quantity is shown in the bottom-left of the product card

Adjust Quantity:

• Click the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons to increase or decrease the quantity
• Or enter a specific number directly in the quantity field between the plus and minus buttons

To remove a product:

• Click the Remove button
• Or reduce the quantity to 0 using the minus button

Once you’re done selecting products, click Back to [Form Name] (e.g., Back to Quotation, Back to BoM) at the top of the screen to return to your order.
