Product categories and POS categories, finally in sync.
Stop re-creating categories by hand at the register. Sync Product Category with POS Category keeps your internal catalog and Point of Sale menu aligned automatically — and shows you proof they match.
The problem
Retailers running Point of Sale alongside the full Odoo suite maintain two separate category structures. Every reorganization or new category on the back-office side leaves the register behind, so cashiers browse a stale menu while the back office assumes everything is aligned — until a sale is miscategorized.
The solution
Internal product categories become the single source of truth. New categories sync to the register automatically, a one-click bulk sync brings an existing catalog into alignment on day one, and a colour-coded mapping view proves — not just claims — that both systems agree.
Everything you need to trust the sync
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Visual Sync Status Mapping
A dedicated list view colour-codes every internal category as Synced, Not Synced, or Conflict, with filters and group-by so you can confirm alignment at a glance instead of checking each category by hand.
Automatic Sync on Category Creation
Turn on auto-sync and every new internal product category is mirrored to POS the moment it is created — no manual re-entry, no drift from day one.
One-Click Bulk Historical Sync
Run "Sync Categories Now" to bring an entire existing, unsynced catalog into alignment in a single action — the guided first step for new adopters.
Live Sync Summary
Every sync — automatic or bulk — returns a clear summary of what was created, linked, already synced, or skipped, so you always know the outcome.
Merge Into Existing POS Categories
Already built POS categories by hand? Link them to their internal counterparts instead of creating duplicates — the module even suggests a matching POS category by name.
Conflict Detection & Surfacing
Name drift between linked categories and products filed under a different POS category are flagged directly on the category form with a clear reason, before they reach the register.
Category Restriction & Starting Category
Pair native POS category-restriction controls with a configurable starting category so each terminal opens on the right part of the menu and only shows what that location sells.
How it works
Turn on auto-sync
Enable "Auto-sync new categories to POS" in Point of Sale settings, or leave it off and sync manually whenever you choose.
Run the first bulk sync
Use "Sync Categories Now" to bring your existing category structure into POS in one action, with a live summary of what happened.
Check the mapping view
Open the colour-coded Category Mapping list to confirm every category is Synced, and resolve any items flagged as Conflict.
Set the POS starting category
Choose the category cashiers land on when the product screen opens, keeping checkout fast and matched to how the store is organized.

Internal product categories are always the source of truth. The module syncs from your product categories to POS categories, never the other way around.
