Customer Product Aliases in Odoo

Many companies sell products to customers who use their own product codes or descriptions, especially in wholesale, distribution, and manufacturing. Until now, Odoo’s standard functionality has only supported vendor-specific product aliases on purchase orders. Steersman has extended this capability with the new “Customer Product Aliases” feature, which allows product aliases for customers on sales orders as well.

What the Feature Does

Steersman’s Customer Product Alias module allows you to assign customer-specific product names and codes, which are then automatically applied on:

Sales Orders

Customer Invoices

Pro-forma Invoices

Delivery Slips

This means that your customers will see their version of the product code and name, while your team continues working with the internal product catalog. It is also EDI compatible.

How it Works

A new section is added to the product form:

Navigate to Inventory > Products
Open any product
Under the sales tab, you can:
- Select a Customer
- Set their Product Name and Product Code

Customer product aliases for multi-variant products are managed at the variant level.

Track lot consumption across manufacturing process in Odoo

Many manufacturing businesses need detailed visibility into where and how product lots are consumed. That’s why we’ve developed the Product Lot Consumption Report. A new feature in Odoo that gives you precise tracking of lot consumption across your manufacturing process.

Prevent Duplicate Customer PO on Sales Orders in Odoo

We’ve added a new feature to help prevent sales teams from accidentally duplicating a customer’s purchase order, a critical need for many of our clients who rely on customer issued PO references to manage order approvals and payment processing. This feature introduces automatic checks and interactive warnings when users attempt to reuse the same Customer Reference (PO number) for the same commercial partner.

Email Monitoring Profiles: Smarter Email Notifications in Odoo

With this enhancement, users can now receive push notifications (via email or inbox) whenever an incoming email is received on a record that has chatter enabled — even if they’re not a follower of that record. Our "Email Monitoring Profiles" feature also includes model-based routing, allowing each user to choose which Odoo models they want to monitor.

Automatically generate SSCC-18 numbers for packages in delivery orders in Odoo

This feature allows companies to automatically generate and assign unique SSCC-18 numbers to packages on delivery orders (pickings) where the destination is a customer. This automation removes the need for manual entry and ensures compliance with GS1 standards for shipping container codes, which are often required for EDI transactions.
