Product Form Pricelist: Filter pricelist rules to only show fixed price items in product form view

[Jaimermaccione]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Yes.

While the module functions correctly and fulfills its intended functionality, it currently displays all pricing rules related to the product, including those that are not of type fixed price. This can clutter the view and reduce clarity, especially considering that the module’s stated purpose (as per the README) is to manage fixed price rules exclusively.

The inclusion of unrelated rule types may introduce visual noise and make it harder for users to identify relevant pricing rules.

This behavior has been observed in Odoo 14 during a runboat review.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be beneficial to restrict the displayed pricing rules to only those of type fixed. This would:

• Make the interface more consistent with the module’s documented scope.
• Improve user clarity and reduce cognitive load.
• Eliminate potential confusion caused by unrelated rule types.

---

Describe alternatives you've considered

No alternative solutions have been explored in depth, as the proposed adjustment seems straightforward, non-disruptive, and well-aligned with the module’s intended purpose. Introducing filters based on rule type appears to be the most natural enhancement without affecting other functionalities.

---

Additional context

The README explicitly states:

"The type of pricelist item is always 'fixed'"

Functionally, the module works as expected and is fully aligned with the behavior in previous versions. This suggestion is not a bug report, but rather a refinement proposal to improve usability and make the view more focused on its intended use case.

Screenshots from the Odoo 14 environment are attached below to illustrate the current behavior.

@Jaimermaccione In my opinion, the display should be improved, but not filter lines, since the user could believe that there are no product lines in the price list and duplicate or generate a rule problem due to the concealment of information.

@ValentinVinagre Thanks! Totally see your point — hiding info can be risky.

That said, this feels more like focused filtering than hiding. The table is labeled “Fixed Price”, and the module even includes a feature to hide the sale price field on the product form — clearly pushing users toward managing pricing via fixed rules.

So showing discounts or formulas here doesn't really match the intended workflow. All other rules are still accessible from the standard pricelist — just not in this focused view.

I still don't think it's a good idea. Although you can create price rules from the product, seeing those that aren't fixed-price gives you a clue that a price rule already exists for that product in that price list, even if it's not fixed-price.
I think the solution would have to be different. For example:
Displaying the rule's pricing method, making only fixed-price lines editable, etc. There are many other options than hiding information from the user.
