  Enterprise How we candefine data in Odoo via XML files In Odoo, there can be any number of <record> elements within the root element <odoo>. These records can include various entities such as products, customers, sales orders, purchase orders, or any other data managed by Odoo. The <record> elements are organized within the <data> element, which serves as a container for grouping related records together. The <data noupdate="1"> domain ensures that the records within it are applied only once and are not updated subsequently. Conversely, records outside this domain, in the regular <data> section, may be subject to updates according to standard Odoo behavior.
