This is an Odoo partner manager tool to exclude double work and broken communication through fore-handed exposure of duplicates of contacts: customers, suppliers, any Odoo partners.

Documentation: https://faotools.com/docs/1/contacts-duplicates-real-time-search-12

Real-time search of duplicates

The tool detects duplicates for Odoo partners each time a document is opened or saved: on kanban, tree, and form views. It means that the search is done in real time and takes into account all recent changes

Soft and rigid duplicates

The tool let you both strictly avoid duplicates and/or just warn of those. Use rigid criteria to fully exclude duplicates creation. Use soft criteria to only notify Odoo users of possible duplicates

Configurable duplicates' criteria

Duplicates are defined according to the rules which you set up. A rule is a field according to which an item is considered as a copy. For example, an email or a name. A customer is considered as a duplicate, if it satisfies any of criteria

Duplicates detection by storable fields

As a duplicate criteria use any stored field of the following types: char, text, many2one, selection, date and datetime, integer and float

Compatible with Odoo standard features

The module supports multi companies. Duplicates are searched within a certain company. Thus, there might be equal contacts related to different corporates. Found partners' duplicates might be merged through the standard Odoo merging tool

Smart partners' consideration

The tool let restrict search only to companies and stand-alone individuals (without company). In such a case simple contacts would be excluded from duplicates detection.

Very satisfied, ideal tool for real and potential duplicates

We use it on Odoo V12 enterprise with our helpdesk application and we can easily manage potential and real duplicates ! Thanks you to Odoo Tools

-- Nicolas

Configurable duplicates criteria

  • Define by your own which Odoo partner fields should be used to search duplicates
  • Search criteria for rigid and soft duplicates are set up independently
  • As a duplicate criteria use any stored field of the following types: char (name, email, phone, mobile, etc.), text (descriptions), many2one (reference for a parent company or a related customer), selection (for instance, type), date and datetime (e.g. birthday), integer and float (any unique code or even planned revenue)
  • For all fields a duplicate should have absolutely the same value. For example, '123' equals '123', but '123' is not equal '1234'
  • Only for the case of soft search by char fields it is the operator 'ilike'. Thus, 'agro' is considered to be a potential duplicate of 'Agrolait' (but Agrolait is not considered as a duplicate of 'agro')
  • You may restrict search only for companies and stand-alone individuals. If the option is checked, Odoo will search only for and only among customers without a parent.

Performance issues

The tool is optimized to make searches as efficient as Odoo ORM allows it. Simultaneously, with a growing number of documents a search will become slower.

Since the search is done in real-time Odoo has to check all shown records for duplicates among all existing records. For example, when you open customers' kanban with 80 items, and you have 10,000 leads, the tool make 80 searches by your criteria among 10000 documents. It may result in slowdowns of the following operations:

  • Opening kanban and list views of Odoo contacts
  • Saving changes after update of partners.

According to the current Odoo Apps Store policies:

  • every module bought for version 12.0 and prior gives you access to all versions up to 12.0.
  • starting from version 13.0, every module version should be purchased separately.
  • disregarding the version, purchasing a tool grants you a right to all updates and bug fixes within a major version.

Take into account that the faOtools team does not control those policies. For all questions, please contact the Odoo Apps Store representatives​ directly​.

The easiest approach is to use the Odoo store built-in workflow:

1. Open the module's page and click the button Deploy on odoo.sh

2. After that, you will be redirected to the GitHub page. Login to your account and click 'Create a new repo' or use the existing one. Please, make sure, that your repository is private. It is not permitted to publish the apps under the OPL-1 license. If necessary, create a new repo for your Odoo.sh project

3. Then, go to odoo.sh and click on the deploy button, submit the decision in the pop-up window and click 'Continue'. The action will trigger the installation process.

These steps would install the app for your project production branch. If you wanted to deploy the apps for other branches or update the module, you should undertake the following actions:

1. Upload the source code for the app from the Odoo store

2. Commit the module to a required GitHub repository. Make sure that none of the app folders/files are ignored (included in the .gitignore of your repo). Repositories are automatically created by odoo.sh, which might add by default some crucial items there (e.g. /lib). You should upload all module directories, subdirectories, and files without exceptions

3. Deploy a target branch of the odoo.sh project or wait until it is automatically built if your settings assume that.

  1. Unzip the source code of the purchased tools in one of your Odoo add-ons' directories;

  2. Re-start the Odoo server;

  3. Turn on the developer mode (technical settings);

  4. Update the apps' list (the apps' menu);

  5. Find the app and push the button 'Install';

  6. Follow the guidelines on the app's page if those exist.

Yes, sure. Take into account that Odoo automatically adds all dependencies to a cart. You should exclude previously purchased tools.

A red/orange warning itself does not influence features of the app. Regretfully, sometimes our modules do not pass standard automatic tests, since the latter assumes behavior which is in conflict with our apps goals. For example, we change price calculation, while standard Odoo module tests compare final price to standard algorithm.

So, first of all, please check deployed database features. Does everything work correctly?

If you still assume that warning influences real features, please contact us and forward full installation logs and the full lists of deployed modules (including core and third party ones).

Regretfully, we do not have a technical possibility to provide individual prices.

No, third party apps can not be used on Odoo Online.

Yes, all modules marked in dependencies are absolutely required for a correct work of our tool. Take into account that price marked on the app page already includes all necessary dependencies.  

The price for our modules is set up in euros. The Odoo store converts prices in others currencies according to its internal exchange rate. Thus, the price in US Dollars may change, when exchange rate changes.

Odoo demonstration databases (live previews)

For this app, we might provide a free personalized demo database.

To demand such a database, press the button "Live Preview" on the top of this page or copy the link https://faotools.com/s/irkde3

No phone number or credit card is required to contact us: only a short email sign up which does not take more than 30 seconds.

By your request, we will prepare an individual live preview database, where you would be able to apply any tests and check assumptions for 14 days.

Bug reporting

In case you have faced any bugs or inconsistent behavior, do not hesitate to contact us. We guarantee to provide fixes within 60 days after the purchase, while even after this period we are strongly interested to improve our tools.

To send us a bug report: press the "Website" link on the top of this page and push the button "Bug Report" (the tab Support). Alternatively, copy the link https://faotools.com/s/vnwma1

No phone number or credit card is required to contact us: only a short email sign up which does not take more than 30 seconds.

Please include in your request as many details as possible: screenshots, Odoo server logs, a full description of how to reproduce your problem, and so on. Usually, it takes a few business days to prepare a working plan for an issue (if a bug is confirmed) or provide you with guidelines on what should be done (otherwise).

Public features requests and module ideas (free development)

We are strongly motivated to improve our tools and would be grateful for any sort of feedback. In case your requirements are of public use and might be efficiently implemented, the team would include those in our to-do list.

Such a to-do list is processed on a regular basis and does not assume extra fees. Although we cannot promise deadlines and final design, it might be a good way to get desired features without investments and risks.

To share ideas: press the "Website" link on the top of this page and push the button "Share Features Ideas" (the tab Support). Alternatively, copy the link https://faotools.com/s/ygvywg

Hello!

The app Contacts Duplicates Real Time Search (https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/14.0/partner_duplicates) is a limited version of the module CRM Duplicates Real Time Search (https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/14.0/crm_duplicates/).

You should use only ONE of those modules within a single Odoo database:

  1. Contacts Duplicates Real Time Search - if you would like to detect duplicates among partners only and you do not use the core Odoo app crm

  2. CRM Duplicates Real Time Search -  - if you would like to detect duplicates among partners and opportunities. The core app crm is required in such a case.
