The Odoo17 Inventory management solution allows you to easily pack and
track your products. Making sure that things in inventory are
transported and moved in a secure and comfortable manner would be
advantageous. Products will be somewhat protected from damage by being
placed in packages. As everyone is aware, it is a fundamental duty of
all businesses to transport goods without any damage. With Odoo 17, you
can construct delivery packages, numerous packs for a single product,
and single packs for many products. Check out these packaging options in
the Inventory module.
After turning on the Packaging options from the Settings menu,
you will have access to them in the Inventory module. You must
enable
the Packages option from the Operations page.
You must be wondering why there are two bundle options. Packages
and product
Packaging have varied uses in Odoo 17. Packs are collections of
various products.
Using the Packages functionality, we can combine many things
into a pack and track them.
Product packaging, on the other hand, is used to package the
same product in various quantities.
It is a single pack containing numerous identical product
units. Let's carefully examine each of these qualities.
Packages
You can locate the option under the Products menu of the
Inventory module, as
shown below, after turning on the Packages feature from the
Settings module.
The Package Reference is visible in this window, as
it is depicted above. You can choose a good type for
your packages in the Package Type section. Later,
we'll talk about the package type's settings. The
Shipping Weight section allows you to enter the
package's total weight. Put the Company's name and
the product's location in the appropriate fields.
The associated field will show the Pack Date. The
Package Use setting has two options: Disposable Box
and Reusable Box. Batch picking is done using
reusable boxes, which are then emptied and reused.
When a reusable box is scanned, the contents of the
box are added to the barcode application. Reusable
boxes are not used again. The contents of a
disposable box are transferred when the barcode
application scans it. You may view the Products that
are a part of this package by clicking on the
Content tab. The product list will be visible only
once you utilize this package for
stock movements. The Product Name, Lot/Serial
Number, Quantity, and Unit of Measurement are all
listed there.
While confirming delivery orders, you can pack
several items together. Using the smart button on
the relevant sales order window, you can confirm the
delivery order after confirming the
sales order. You will receive the delivery order to
validate, as shown below.
The window will display information
about the product, packaging,
package type, number of items in the
package, unit of measurement, sales,
and purchases.
Select "New" from the menu. Odoo will
present the window below for
creating new product packaging.
Here, you can fill in the relevant
fields with information about the
company, product, package type,
contained quantity,
and barcode used to identify the
packing. If you want to
use this product packaging in the
buy and sales orders, you may enable
the buy and Sales options.
Additionally, the product configuration window allows you to define product packaging. This was already covered in the Inventory module's product configuration section. We will now examine package type configuration in the inventory module.
Package Type
The Inventory module's Configuration menu, as seen in the image below, contains the possibility to define several package types. You can set up a variety of package types for delivery operations using this platform.
In this window, you can see all of the predefined package kinds as well as information on the carrier, package type, height, width, and length, maximum weight, and carrier code. Let's examine
the process by which Odoo develops new package kinds for items. You can do this by pressing the New button.
