CONFIGURE.rst

Configure all ID types you need in Contacts > Configuration > Partner ID Categories. For example, we create a category 'Driver License':

Name:

Name of this ID type. For example, 'Driver License'

Code:

Code, abbreviation or acronym of this ID type. For example, 'driver_license'

Python validation code:

Optional python code called to validate ID numbers of this ID type. This functionality can be overridden by setting id_no_validate to True in the context, such as:

partner.with_context(id_no_validate=True).write({
   'name': 'Bad Value',
   'category_id': self.env.ref('id_category_only_numerics').id,
})
