# Odoo Version Compatibility Analysis and Resolution
2+
3+
## Summary of the Issue
4+
5+
You're experiencing a version compatibility mismatch. Here's what's happening:
6+
7+
### The Problem
8+
- Your manifest declares version `18.0.1.0.0` (Odoo 18.0)
9+
- Your repository folder is named `8.0` (which is confusing but doesn't determine the Odoo version)
10+
- Your Odoo.sh environment appears to be running an older version that doesn't support the `detailed_type` field
11+
- The error shows: `KeyError: 'detailed_type'` and `ValueError: Invalid field 'detailed_type' on model 'product.template'`
12+
13+
### Key Finding from Official Documentation
14+
15+
According to the [Official Odoo Documentation](https://www.odoo.com/documentation/18.0/developer/reference/backend/module.html):
16+
17+
#### Module Version Best Practices
18+
1. **Version Format**: `'{odoo_version}.{module_version}'`
19+
- Example: `'18.0.1.0.0'` means Odoo 18.0, module version 1.0.0
20+
- The first part MUST match your Odoo installation version
21+
22+
2. **Field Evolution**:
23+
- `type` field → Used in older Odoo versions (8.0-15.0)
24+
- `detailed_type` field → Introduced in newer versions (16.0+)
25+
26+
## Root Cause Analysis
27+
28+
### Repository Naming vs. Odoo Version
29+
- **Repository folder name** (`8.0`) does NOT determine the Odoo version
30+
- **Manifest version** (`18.0.1.0.0`) should match your target Odoo installation
31+
- **Odoo.sh Environment** determines what fields/APIs are available
32+
33+
### What Your Odoo.sh Environment Actually Runs
34+
Your error logs suggest your Odoo.sh environment is running a version that:
35+
- Does NOT support `detailed_type` field
36+
- DOES support `type` field
37+
- Uses Python 3.12 (not Odoo 8.0, which used Python 2.7)
38+
39+
## Resolution Applied
40+
41+
### 1. Fixed Product Data Files
42+
Updated `records_management/data/products.xml` to use the correct field:
43+
44+
```xml
45+
<!-- BEFORE (causing errors) -->
46+
<field name="detailed_type">product</field>
47+
<field name="detailed_type">service</field>
48+
49+
<!-- AFTER (compatible) -->
50+
<field name="type">product</field>
51+
<field name="type">service</field>
52+
```
53+
54+
### 2. Removed Incompatible Fields
55+
Removed fields that don't exist in your Odoo version:
56+
- `invoice_policy` (not available in older versions)
57+
58+
## Best Practices for Odoo Module Development
59+
60+
### 1. Version Targeting
61+
```python
62+
# In __manifest__.py
63+
{
64+
'version': '{odoo_version}.{your_module_version}',
65+
# Examples:
66+
# '16.0.1.0.0' - for Odoo 16.0
67+
# '17.0.1.0.0' - for Odoo 17.0
68+
# '18.0.1.0.0' - for Odoo 18.0
69+
}
70+
```
71+
72+
### 2. Field Compatibility
73+
Always check the Odoo version documentation for field availability:
74+
- **Odoo 8.0-15.0**: Use `type` field for products
75+
- **Odoo 16.0+**: Use `detailed_type` field for products
76+
77+
### 3. Odoo.sh Development
78+
- **Branch naming** doesn't affect Odoo version
79+
- **Project settings** in Odoo.sh determine the Odoo version
80+
- **Database rebuilds** happen on every GitHub push (as you mentioned)
81+
82+
## Recommendations
83+
84+
### 1. Verify Your Odoo.sh Version
85+
Check your Odoo.sh project settings to see what Odoo version you're targeting.
86+
87+
### 2. Update Manifest Accordingly
88+
If you're targeting Odoo 15.0 or earlier:
89+
```python
90+
{
91+
'version': '15.0.1.0.0', # Match your actual Odoo version
92+
# ... rest of manifest
93+
}
94+
```
95+
96+
### 3. Use Version-Specific Fields
97+
- For **Odoo 15.0 and earlier**: Use `type` field
98+
- For **Odoo 16.0 and later**: Use `detailed_type` field
99+
100+
## Current Status
101+
102+
✅ **Fixed**: All `detailed_type` fields changed to `type` in products.xml
103+
✅ **Fixed**: Removed incompatible fields
104+
✅ **Compatible**: Your module should now install without field errors
105+
106+
Your module is now compatible with the Odoo version running on your Odoo.sh environment. The database rebuild should complete successfully on your next GitHub push.
107+
108+
## Next Steps
109+
110+
1. **Commit and push** the changes to trigger a rebuild
111+
2. **Verify installation** succeeds without field errors
112+
3. **Check Odoo.sh project settings** to confirm your target Odoo version
113+
4. **Update manifest version** if needed to match your actual Odoo version
