Packaging

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 248 views

Odoo Inventory packaging represents disposable containers holding a fixed quantity of one specific product, such as a 6-pack or a case. Packaging is configured per product, since a pack size for one item does not apply to another.

Before you start

  1. Go to Inventory app > Configuration > Settings, and under Products enable Product Packagings, then Save.

How to create a packaging

  1. On the product’s Inventory tab, scroll to Packaging and click Add a line.
  2. Name the packaging (for example, “6-pack”), set the Contained quantity and Unit of Measure, and tick Sales or Purchase as needed.

All packagings can also be viewed and created from Inventory app > Configuration > Product Packagings.

Partial reservation

On a product category’s Logistics section, set Reserve Packagings to Reserve Only Full Packagings (only whole packs are reserved for an order) or Reserve Partial Packagings (any available quantity is reserved, even a part pack).

Using packaging

Packaging can be selected on a sales order line, and scanning a packaging’s barcode in the Barcode app adds its full contained quantity to stock in one scan. A packaging-specific route can also be set up under Inventory app > Configuration > Routes if it needs different handling from the rest of the product.

Frequently asked questions

Is packaging shared between products?

No, packaging is specific to each product, so a 6-pack must be configured separately for each product it applies to.

What is Reserve Partial Packagings for?

It lets an order ship with whatever full and partial packaging quantity is available, rather than only reserving full packagings.
