This module replaces the structured country/state origin fields from ``product_origin``
with a flexible free-text field that can be defined per supplier.
**Problem:**
The standard ``product_origin`` module provides structured fields (country + state) for
product origin. However, suppliers often use creative and varied formats to describe
product origin:
* "Valencia, Spain"
* "Huerta de Ana, Aragón"
* "Organic Farm - Northern Italy"
* "Local producer - Basque Country"
* "Fair Trade - Colombia"
These free-form descriptions don't fit into structured country/state fields.
**Solution:**
This module adds a translatable ``origin_text`` field to ``product.supplierinfo`` that:
* Allows free-form text to describe product origin
* Is stored per supplier (different suppliers may have different origin info)
* Is translatable (can be described differently in each language)
* Is automatically displayed on the product based on the main vendor
(from ``product_main_seller`` module)
**Features:**
* Free-text ``Origin`` field in supplier info (Purchase tab of product)
* Computed ``Origin`` field in product form (shows main vendor's origin)
* Field is visible in product list view (optional column)
* Full translation support for multiple languages
* Compatible with existing supplier management workflows

Installation
============
This module depends on:
* ``product`` - Base product management
* ``product_main_seller`` - To determine the main vendor for products
To install:
#. Install the required dependencies
#. Install this module through the Odoo Apps menu
Configuration
=============
No configuration is needed. The module works automatically after installation.
The origin text displayed on a product is based on the **main vendor** as determined
by ``product_main_seller`` (the first supplier in the vendors list).
Usage
=====
**To add origin information to a product:**
#. Go to a product form
#. Open the **Purchase** tab
#. In the **Vendors** section, select a supplier line
#. Fill in the **Origin** field with free-form text describing the origin
(e.g., "Valencia, Huerta de..., Spain")
#. Save the product
**To view origin information:**
* The **Origin** field will be automatically displayed on the product form
(below the **Main Vendor** field in the Purchase tab)
* The origin shown is from the **main vendor** (first supplier in the list)
* You can also add the Origin column to product list views
**To change the displayed origin:**
* Reorder the vendors list to change which is the main vendor
* The origin text will automatically update to show the new main vendor's origin
**Multi-language support:**
* The origin text is translatable
* Switch to another language and edit the supplier info to provide a translation
* Each language can have a different description of the origin
