Custom Variant Creation
Create Single Variants Manually Bypassing Auto Generation
Custom Variant Creation
Stop Odoo from generating thousands of unwanted variants. Take full control of your product catalogue with on-demand variant generation and smart attribute management.
App Overview
Introduction
By default, Odoo automatically generates product variants using a cartesian product of all attribute values. For a product with 3 colours, 4 sizes, and 3 materials, Odoo creates 36 variants instantly most of which may never exist or be sold.
The Custom Variant Creation module disables this automatic generation and hands full control back to the user. A dedicated wizard lets you select precisely which attribute combination to create, generating only the variants your business actually offers.
Purpose
This is ideal for fashion, manufacturing, custom-order businesses, or any catalogue where not every theoretical combination is a real, sellable product. Large automated catalogues crash performance and confuse users; this module ensures your database remains light and your product lists stay clean.
Beyond simple creation, the module manages attribute consistency automatically using N/A placeholders, ensuring your eCommerce storefront and website_sale functions remain perfectly compatible with your custom SKU structure.
