Product Matching in Odoo

When syncing products, Pricelist Heaven checks if they already exist in Odoo.

Matching Strategy

Products are matched in this order:

1. By Product Code (default_code)

Most reliable. If Odoo product has matching default_code, it's a match.

2. By Barcode (EAN)

If code doesn't match, check barcode.

3. By Name (optional)

If enabled in settings, match by exact product name.

Sync Behavior

Configure what happens when products match or don't match:

Product Found

• Update: Update existing product
• Skip: Keep existing product unchanged

Product Not Found

• Insert: Create new product
• Skip: Don't create

Conflicts

If multiple products match (e.g., same EAN), the sync will:

• Log an error
• Skip the product
• Continue with other products

Field Sync Policies

For each field, configure:

• Always update: Overwrite Odoo value
• Only if empty: Update only if Odoo field is blank
• Never update: Skip this field

Best Practices

Use Product Codes

Always include product codes for reliable matching.

Unique Identifiers

Ensure codes and barcodes are unique.

Test First

Do a test sync with a few products before syncing thousands.
