Odoo Configuration

Requires one or more backend configurations to work.

[!NOTE] If you install a specific country's 'Free: Open Data' localization module (e.g., l10n_fi_partner_autocomplete_oca_opendata), the necessary default backend configuration for that country may be created automatically upon installation. However, paid environments or custom setups require manual configuration.

Manual configuration after installation

1. Go to Connectors -> Autocomplete -> Backends

2. Create a new backend configuration:

   • Default Country: The country this backend serves (e.g. Finland).
   • Environment Type: Select between 'Free: Open Data' or 'Paid: IODO's Data'.
   • API Key: Set the required key if you chose the paid environment.
   • Active: Sets the backend as the default fallback. Only one backend can be set as the active default at any time.

Note on Compatibility: The Odoo official Partner Autocomplete module (partner_autocomplete) will override the functionality of this module if installed.

Usage

1. When creating a new Company record (res.partner), type at least 3 characters into the Name field
2. A list of matching companies will appear below the field
3. Click on a company name to automatically populate fields

Features

• Free localization version offers limited information such as name, address, VAT/Business ID and website if they are found from Open Data API
• Paid localization version offers in addition critical financial data such as e-invoicing addresses. This ensures automated, error-free invoicing and eliminates the need for manual data entry in core financial processes.
