Inventory product configure

This part of the Odoo Inventory knowledge base covers configuring individual products so stock is tracked correctly: what type of product it is, how it is tracked, and how it is grouped for storage or sale.

What this section covers

A product’s type determines whether it is tracked as physical stock or not. Its tracking method decides whether individual units, lots or serial numbers are recorded. Packages group items together for storage or delivery regardless of product, while packaging groups a fixed quantity of the same product, such as a pack of six.

Topics covered in this knowledge base

This section covers configuring a product, product type, product tracking, packages, and packaging.
