Yes, in Odoo 16, a non-stored computed field can depend on another non-stored computed field for its value.

How it works:

• Odoo evaluates computed fields in the order of their dependencies.
• If field_b depends on field_a (which is also computed and non-stored), Odoo will first compute field_a and then use its result to compute field_b.
• Both fields must be defined with the @api.depends decorator to specify their dependencies.

Example:

python
Copy
from odoo import models, fields, api

class MyModel(models.Model):
    _name = 'my.model'

    base_field = fields.Integer()
    computed_field_a = fields.Integer(compute='_compute_field_a', store=False)
    computed_field_b = fields.Integer(compute='_compute_field_b', store=False)

    @api.depends('base_field')
    def _compute_field_a(self):
        for record in self:
            record.computed_field_a = record.base_field * 2

    @api.depends('computed_field_a')
    def _compute_field_b(self):
        for record in self:
            record.computed_field_b = record.computed_field_a + 10

• Here, computed_field_b depends on computed_field_a, which itself depends on base_field.
• Odoo will automatically resolve the chain of dependencies and compute the fields in the correct order.

Key Points:

• No storage: Both fields are computed on-the-fly and not stored in the database.
• Performance: Chaining non-stored computed fields can impact performance, especially if the computation is complex or the chain is long.
• Circular dependencies: Avoid circular dependencies (e.g., field_a depends on field_b, which depends on field_a), as this will cause an error.
