We'll go over how to use the features and functionalities of the Odoo 17 platform to sell a product in this blog. The processes involved in selling a product are somewhat similar to those found in the Events, Sales, and Purchase Modules. Furthermore, the form arrangement is similar to the basic Odoo forms.
First, we can use the "Products" part of the "E-commerce" menu, as shown in the picture below, to create a new product for sale.
A dashboard view with a list of different goods that have already been developed and organized in a Kanban view will emerge when you select the "Products" option. By selecting one of the other visualization icons available in the form view's top right corner, we may additionally alter the view.
By selecting the “NEW” button located beneath the “Products” title, we can generate a new product for sale. This opens a form view that allows us to create any new product for sale using the form view, as seen in the screenshot below.
The method of developing and maintaining a product is quite similar to how products are set up in the modules, including sales, purchases, inventories, and rents, as the screenshot illustration shows.
On the product configuration form, users are required to enter the product name and details as well as complete the six categories listed there, including General Information, Attributes and variants, Sales, Purchase, Inventory, and Accounting.
General Information
Product kind, Invoicing Policy, Unit of Measure, Purchase Unit of Measure, Sales Price, Customer Taxes, Cost, Product Category, Internal Reference, Barcode, Product Tags, and Company Details are among the basic product details that need to be filled out in this area.
Attributes and Variants
As seen in the example below, users can enter values for several versions' attributes of the specific product in this category's "Add a line" field.
Sales
The sales category includes elements for point of sale, e-commerce shop, extra product media, upselling and cross-selling, and sales description.
In the Upsell & Cross-Sell section, users can enter details about optional products, accessory products, and alternative products.
Purchase
Users can provide vendor data in this area, including vendor name, vendor bill, taxes, control policy, and purchase description. As seen in the screenshot above, the vendor name is selectable from the "Add a Line" drop-down menu located under the "Vendor" form.
Inventory
Operations, Logistics, Description for Receipts, and Description for Delivery Orders are the four sections that make up the inventory section.
The Product Routes and the User Name in charge of this Product can be listed.
As seen by the screen grab above, please also include the weight, volume, customer lead time, HS code, origin of goods, description for receipts, and description for delivery orders.
Accounting
As seen in the screenshot below, the Accounting area is divided into the Receivables and Payables sections. In these sections, users are required to specify the Income Account, Expense Account, and Price Difference Account.
Users have the option to add a new bank account or choose from the dropdown list that corresponds to the relevant fields.
Once the necessary information has been edited, use the save icon that appears in the form view's top left corner to save the modifications. Additionally, you can use the "Go To Website" option offered in the form menu, as shown below, to publish the product for sale and view a preview of the website.
