Product packaging is a valuable tool both for business and the client. The company can reduce shipping charges, delivery charges, and many more and help sell products at a low margin. For the customer, it is worth their money, and they have the opportunity to gain a discount.

The Odoo 15 supports three kinds of packaging.

1: A single-product pack

2: Several different products in a package

3: Delivery package

Let’s discuss packages first,

Product Packaging

Packagings are a collection of similar items packed together to be sold as a full. We can add packages under the Packaging section by selecting the Add line option, we can add packages. In Odoo 15, a new feature adds a Barcode to each packaging, which is used to identify product packaging and track the movement of contained units using barcode scanning.

Let’s create product packaging, Packs of 10, Packs of 8, and Packs of 12 with the corresponding quantity. A pack of 10 contained 10 products, a pack of 8 had 8 products, and a pack of 12 included 12 products. While adding packaging, mention the packaging as packs of 10, add a quantity of an item in the pack, and define the unit of measure. There is a new field to check the fields ‘Sales’ and ‘Purchase’, a new feature added up in V15. The check box refers to where we can use these packages. Here we have both sales and purchases, which means the packaging can be used in sale orders and purchase orders. This will provide a more flexible way of purchasing and selling goods in packets.

You can add package type to packaging and add Barcode for each package. Using this barcode, we can add packages of items to sale orders. When all configurations are done, save the changes.

Packages

If a customer orders many items, we can package them together to deliver them in a delivery pack or box. These items in the box can be similar products or different products. It may even contain packets of some products. All these ordered products are put in a box and delivered to the customer. Here we use the concept of packages. The number of items, height, weight, and volume of the product determine how the items are delivered in packages.

Packages can be enabled in the Operation section of the Inventory settings.
