How to Attach Files with Products Using Odoo 18

Maintaining product-related information (manuals, photos, datasheets etc.) constitutes an essential operational function to preserve system organization and operational efficiency. By implementing Odoo 18 users can directly attach files at the product level.

Benefits of Attaching Files with Products

Users who need important documents including product specifications and manuals and certifications can obtain them by linking them directly to specific items. By delivering access to all parties a clear understanding of information leads to better informed decisions

2. Consistency and Up-to-date Product Information:

Through Odoo attachment features businesses can establish a unified Product Information framework that stays current and standardized across all records. Businesses in industries that depend on regulatory compliance benefits significantly from this approach since it maintains recent data available for all stakeholders which prevents damaging mistakes or costly delays.

3. Enhanced Departmental Collaboration:

Attached documents within Odoo enable teams from marketing, sales and customer support to create product listings and promotional content and respond to queries with fast and accurate materials. Furthermore the system enhances both operational efficiency and the connection between internal teams. Users can display files through pick lists for Bill of Materials attachments in Odoo, which is crucial for maintaining accurate product documentation.

4. Better Customer Experience:

Detailed product information accessibility enables customers to self-help without needing support team assistance. Customer satisfaction ratings increase as a result of effective documentation which creates both repeat buying and brand loyalty among customers.

5. Stronger Supplier Relationships:

Speedy access is available to suppliers who need product information or order-related documents or quality standards. Quicker procurement processes coupled with improved transparency drive the success of businesses in creating lasting beneficial relationships with supplier organizations.

Steps to Attach Files with Products

Step 1: Accessing Odoo 18

Users who want to start using file attachment functionality in Odoo 18 first need to log into their account with operational access permissions.

Step 2: Navigate to the Product Menu

After opening the application users need to select “sales” or “Inventory” then access the product menu.

Step 3: Open a product form and Attaching Files

The file attachment functionality becomes accessible through any selectable product and its corresponding product form interface. Within the menu section the user finds “Documents” that provides access for file attachment.

Step 4: Upload Files

Users can access the “Upload” button to start their file selection from local storage or input URLs.

Step 5: Configure New Files

When attaching files users must provide a file name while selecting what type of file they wish to attach. Users have two options to provide the file – either they can choose a file from their computer system or access the file through an internal link.
Users access the documents through “visible at” under “Manufacturing” although they can disable this display if documentation must solely access product screens or they can display files through pick lists for bill or materials attachments in Bill of Material.
Client document sharing occurs from the “visible at” field below the income tab although leaving the field uninstantiated will prevent document disclosure.
On quote: The file becomes immediately accessible for customers throughout any moment following document transmission.
On Order Confirmation: This document will become available exclusively for the customer-confirmed orders after distribution.
Interior quote: When included in the sale order and citation PDF between header pages and quote table the document acquires protection.

Step 6: Save the change

Before exiting the interface users need to save all modifications they made to the product. The attached files become accessible for relevant use without disruption after product information is saved.

Step 7: Viewing and Managing Attachments

From the product shape customers can access and operate attached files when they navigate to the “documents” tab. Users can access and work with attachments directly from this interface where they have options to download or remove or modify their files.

Step 8: Repeating for Other Products

Most organizations maintain a large number of products which require proper document management systems. Users should use the same product wrapping process to link files for multiple items so all needed documents remain accessible through the system interface of Odoo 18.

Step 9: Utilizing the Attached Files

The product lets users view attached files in the customer portal whenever they initiate a fresh quotation
