Warn users when saving a record that matches an existing one, for free.
Duplicate Record Detector stops duplicates at the source by warning Odoo users the moment they try to save a record that matches an existing one. It is a lightweight, free way to keep your contacts and other records clean from the start.
What it does
When a user saves a record, the module checks for an existing record that matches and, if it finds one, shows a warning so the user can stop and review before creating a duplicate. This simple guardrail prevents the slow build-up of duplicate contacts and records that makes reporting and communication unreliable.
Key features
- Warns on save when a matching record already exists
- Helps prevent duplicate contacts and records
- Simple to install and use
- Free and open source under LGPL-3
Who it's for
