<p>This module provides easier products configuration (in one click).
It allows to configure a product template with only one field.</p>
<blockquote>
<div class="figure">
<img alt="profile field on product" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/product-attribute/12.0/product_profile/static/img/field.png" style="width: 600px;" />
</div>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Main use case</strong>: a lot of modules are installed (mrp, purchase, sale, pos)
and products configuration becomes harder for end users: too many fields to take care of.</p>
<p>You are concerned that at any time a product might be not configured correctly: this module is your friend.</p>
<p>Thanks to this module, a lot of complexity becomes hidden (default behavior) to the end user and usability is optimal.</p>
<p>It eases as well the data migration by only specifying the profile field instead of all fields which depend on it.</p>
<p>Note: This module is meant to be used by skilled people in database fields creation within the ERP framework.</p>
<p>Additional feature: a default value can be attached to a profile (see § Configuration, part 3)</p>

<code lang="python">class ProductProfile(models.Model):
profile_default_categ_id = fields.Many2one(
'product.category',
string='Default category')
profile_default_route_ids = fields.Many2many(
'stock.location.route',

domain="[('product_selectable', '=', True)]",
help="Depending on the modules installed, this will allow "
"you to define the route of the product: "
"whether it will be bought, manufactured, MTO/MTS,...")</code>
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>Default fields only influence the records the first time they are set.
- if the profile is modified, changes are not propagated to all the records that have this profile
- if the record previously had another profile, changing profile will not influence default values</p>
<a name="usage"></a>
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Usage</a></h2>
<p>Assign a value to the profile field in the product template form.
Then, all fields which depend on this profile will be set to the right value at once.</p>
<p>If you deselect the profile value, all these fields keep the same value and you can change them manually
(back to standard behavior).</p>
<p>Install <strong>Product Profile Example</strong> module to see a use case in action.</p>
<p>Profiles are also defined as search filter and group.</p>
