New functionality added to Odoo
This adds visibility of product external IDs in product lists and product forms, and allows users to search products by those IDs. It helps teams import related data such as bills of materials and inventory updates without first exporting products to discover system-generated references.
Original PR description
# Description of the issue/feature this PR addresses: Our organization would like to manage the external ID of products (i.e. during product CSV upload) because this lets us later upload BoMs and inventory adjustments that reference this external ID. This avoid an extra step of first finding products in Odoo, downloading them to get their auto-generated external ID, and then re-uploading. # Current behavior before PR: External ID is hidden from the user # Desired behavior after PR is merged: 1. External ID is present on the product list page 2. External ID can be used for searching products 3. External ID is present on the General Information tab of the product form page --- I confirm I have signed the CLA and read the PR guidelines at www.odoo.com/submit-pr
