It is a very common practice in Odoo to divide application features into different modules. By doing so, you can simply enable/disable features by installing/uninstalling the application. And when you add new features to the existing app, it then becomes necessary to customize the behavior of some methods that were defined in the original app. Sometimes, you also want to add new fields to an existing model.
