Introduction
The Hide Cost & Margin module for Odoo is designed to protect sensitive financial information by hiding product cost prices and profit margins in sale orders for most users. With this extension, only users who have the appropriate access rights can view the cost and margin fields. It’s ideal for sales teams where you want to prevent visibility into behind-the-scenes pricing structures while still retaining margin calculations for authorized users. This ensures pricing strategies remain confidential and internal margins are safeguarded.
Key Features
Hide the product cost price in sale order lines from users without the proper rights
Hide the margin (profit) field in sale orders unless the user is granted visibility rights
Access control toggle: administrators can check a box in the user’s access rights to allow them to see cost & margin
Seamless integration with the standard sales workflow—no major UI changes, only conditional visibility
Benefits
Maintains confidentiality of cost prices from most sales staff
Prevents conflicts or misunderstandings arising from margin visibility
Ensures internal pricing strategies are protected
Simplifies role separation by limiting financial visibility to authorized users
Keeps the sales process clean and focused for general users
