Unlock the Power of Odoo 16: A Step-by-Step Guide to Hiding “Section-Financials” from the ProductInfoPopup in POS Screen

Step-by-Step Instructions to Hide “Section-Financials” from the ProductInfoPopup

Now that we’ve discussed the benefits of hiding “section-financials”, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of how to do it. Follow these steps carefully to achieve the desired result:

Step 1: Create a New Module

In Odoo 16, create a new module by going to Settings > Configuration > Modules > Create. Name your module (e.g., “pos_hide_financials”) and add a brief description.

    {
        'name': 'pos_hide_financials',
        'version': '1.0',
        'description': 'Hides the "section-financials" section from the ProductInfoPopup in POS screen',
        'author': 'Your Name',
        'depends': ['point_of_sale'],
        'data': [],
        'installable': True,
        'auto_install': False,
    }

Step 2: Add the Required Dependencies

In the `__init__.py` file of your module, add the following code to import the necessary dependencies:

    from odoo import api, fields, models

Step 3: Create a New JavaScript File

Create a new JavaScript file named `hide_financials.js` in the `static/src/js` directory of your module. This file will contain the code that modifies the ProductInfoPopup:

    odoo.define('pos_hide_financials.hide_financials', function(require) {
        "use strict";
        var POSModel = require('point_of_sale.models');
        var screens = require('point_of_sale.screens');
        
        // Modify the ProductInfoPopup to hide "section-financials"
        screens.ProductInfoPopupWidget.include({
            renderElement: function() {
                var self = this;
                this._super();
                self.$('.section-financials').hide();
            }
        });
    });

Step 4: Add the JavaScript File to the POS Assets

In the `__manifest__.py` file, add the `hide_financials.js` file to the `pos_assets` section:

    'data': [],
    'pos_assets': [
        ('js', 'pos_hide_financials', 'static/src/js/hide_financials.js'),
    ],

Step 5: Install and Configure the Module

Install your module by going to Settings > Configuration > Modules > Install and selecting your module. Once installed, go to Settings > Configuration > Point of Sale > Point of Sale Configuration and add the module to the list of installed modules.

Conclusion

Hiding the “section-financials” section from the ProductInfoPopup in Odoo 16’s POS screen is a simple yet powerful customization that can enhance your customer experience and improve your business operations. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can tailor the ProductInfoPopup to your specific needs and take your POS screen to the next level.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues during the installation or configuration process, here are some troubleshooting tips to keep in mind:

1. Check the module dependencies**: Ensure that the `point_of_sale` module is installed and configured correctly.
2. Verify the JavaScript code**: Double-check the `hide_financials.js` file for any syntax errors or typos.
3. Clear the browser cache**: Sometimes, clearing the browser cache can resolve issues with JavaScript files not loading correctly.
