Govern Your Product Catalog with Confidence

A governance and enrichment workspace on top of Odoo's product catalog: a draft-to-ready workflow, type-validated custom attributes, predefined templates, bulk editing and a full audit trail, so every product is complete, consistent and ready to sell before it ever reaches a customer.

The problem

Odoo's native product form scatters specifications, materials, compliance details and marketing copy across generic variant attributes and free-text fields. There is no governed workspace to see which products are enriched, which are missing required data, or who changed what and when, so catalogs with hundreds of SKUs slip into inconsistent, incomplete listings.

The solution

Product Information Management adds a dedicated workspace with a Draft, In Review, Ready workflow, type-validated custom attributes independent of sales variants, predefined attribute templates, a live completeness score per product, a bulk-edit wizard, and a full audit trail of every attribute change, so data stewards always know what is done and what still needs work.

Capabilities

Everything a catalog manager needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Draft-to-Ready Workflow

Every product carries a Draft, In Review or Ready status with a validation gate: Mark Ready is blocked until all required attributes for that product's category are filled in.

02

Type-Validated Custom Attributes

Define attributes as text, long text, number, decimal, yes/no, date or dropdown, each with its own required flag, min/max bounds, format regex and default value, independent of Odoo's sales-variant attributes.

03

Predefined Attribute Templates

Bundle attributes into reusable templates per product category and apply them to one product or a whole category in a single click, seeding default values automatically.

04

Completeness & Missing-Required Tracking

Every product shows a live completeness percentage and a missing-required count computed from the attributes that actually apply to its category, visible on the kanban, list and form.

05

Bulk Attribute Editor

Select any set of products from the catalog list and set one attribute's value across all of them at once from a single dialog, with the same validation and audit logging as a normal edit.

06

Native Import & Export

Product attribute values and PIM fields are regular Odoo fields, so the standard list import and export tools move data in and out of spreadsheets without any custom tooling.

07

Cross-Attribute Search & Filtering

Find products by any attribute value, PIM status, completeness range or missing-required count, on top of the standard name and reference search.

08

Full Audit Trail

Every attribute value change is logged with the product, attribute, user, timestamp and the old and new value, giving data stewards a complete accountability record.

09

Taxonomy Overview with Role-Based Access

A dedicated category kanban shows product and ready counts per branch of the catalog, while Reader, User and Manager groups separate who can view, edit and configure attributes and templates.

Workflow

How it works

1

Define attributes & templates

Managers build the attribute library (text, number, dropdown and more) and bundle them into templates per product category.

2

Apply to products

Apply a template to a single product or an entire category so the right attributes appear automatically, ready to fill in.

3

Enrich & submit

Data stewards fill in attribute values inline on the product form and submit the product for review once the details are in.

4

Validate & mark ready

Mark Ready checks every required attribute and blocks incomplete products, while the audit trail and chatter record exactly what changed.

No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.

No. PIM attributes are a separate, independently governed framework; your existing product variant configuration for sales and eCommerce is untouched.
