Use Cases / Context

Some companies, like food distributors, need to emphasize the usage of product packaging in the sale process.

Product packaging in Odoo is designed to be computed automatically when you choose the final amount of products to sell. For example, if you sell 12 kgs of apples and those can be packaged by bags of 4kg, you’ll get automatically suggested to sell 3 bags.

Although you can still do that, with this module the natural usage is inverted: it’s easier for you to select the packaging and quantity first, and then the final amount of products is computed automatically. Following the same example, you’ll choose bags, then 3, and then the 12kg will be computed automatically.

Configuration

To configure this module, you need to:

1. Go to Sales > Configuration > Settings.

2. Under Product Catalog, enable Product Packagings.

Usage

To use this module, you need to configure a product with packaging:

1. Go to Sales > Products > Products and select or create a product.

2. In the Inventory tab, add some packaging(s).

3. Enable Sales and in one packaging.

4. Sort the packaging options at will. The first one enabled for Sales will be considered the default one.

Then you have to sell it:

1. Go to Sales > Orders > Quotations and create a new quotation.

2. Select any customer.

3. Select that product.

You will notice that:

• The product is added with the default sale packaging.

• The packaging quantity is set to 1 packaging unit.

• The product UoM quantity is set to the amount of units contained in 1 packaging.

• When changing to another product, instead of keeping the amount of UoM units, we now keep the packaging qty, and the UoM qty is recomputed accordingly.
