Summary

Adds a "Main Vendor" field to products that automatically tracks the primary supplier based on supplierinfo sequence.

Features

• Automatic Main Vendor: Computed field showing the primary supplier

• Visible in Views: Shows in product form and tree views
• Searchable: Can search and filter products by main vendor
• Related Fields: Access to vendor name and reference

Technical Details

Models Extended

• product.template: Main product template
• product.product: Product variants

Fields Added

• default_supplier_id (Many2one → res.partner, computed, stored)

  • The main vendor for this product
  • Computed from seller_ids with lowest sequence
  • Stored for performance
  • Searchable

• default_supplier_ref (Char, related to default_supplier_id.ref)

  • The supplier's reference code
  • Readonly

Computation Logic

The main vendor is determined by:

1. Looking at all supplierinfo records (seller_ids)
2. Filtering for valid suppliers (not companies)
3. Selecting the one with the lowest sequence number
4. If no sequence, uses the first one

Migration Hook

Includes pre_init_hook that:

• Populates default_supplier_id on existing products during installation
• Ensures data consistency from the start

Dependencies

• purchase (Odoo core)

Installation

docker-compose exec odoo odoo -d odoo -u product_main_seller --stop-after-init

Usage

Viewing Main Vendor

1. Open a product form (Products > Products > [Product])
2. See "Main Vendor" field (usually in Purchase tab)
3. Field is automatically computed from vendor list

Changing Main Vendor

To change the main vendor:

1. Go to product form > Purchase tab
2. Edit the vendor list (seller_ids)
3. Change the sequence numbers (lower = more priority)
4. Save - the "Main Vendor" will update automatically

Searching by Vendor

# Find all products from a specific vendor
products = self.env['product.template'].search([
    ('default_supplier_id', '=', vendor_id)
])
