Package: odoo-addon-mrp-packaging-default
This module allows and encourages the use of packaging within MRP, both
to manufacture products or to create kits.ImportantThis is an alpha version, the data model and design can change at any time without warning.
Only for development or testing purpose, do not use in production.More details on development statusTable of contentsUse Cases / ContextConfigurationUsageBug TrackerCreditsAuthorsContributorsMaintainersUse Cases / ContextIn certain businesses, it is important to know the packaging you will
use to manufacture a product. Example: food wholesale companies.For example, imagine you want to create a food basket that includes,
among other things, 1 kg of cheese. It is not the same to put it in
small sliced and vacuum-packed 100g packages as it is to put a whole
cheese ball. Even when the product and the total weight are the same:
1kg of cheese.If you are interested in this module, you may also be interested insale_packaging_default.ConfigurationTo see the effects of this module, you need to:Go toSettings.ActivateInventory > Products > Product Packagings.Optionally, activate alsoUnits of Measure. This is not required,
but if you are interested in this module, it’s probably because you
use this.Save.UsageSome component products must exist. Those components will be later
included in the manufactured or kit product. Then, you’ll notice the
module effects.To create the component products:Go toInventory > Products > Products.Create a product.Configure its unit of measure (if you enabled that option).Add some line(s) inInventory > Packaging.To use this module witha kit of products, you need to:Go toInventory > Products > Products.Create a product that will be the kit.SetProduct Type“Consumable”.Configure its unit of measure (if you enabled that option).EnableInventory > Operations > Routes > Manufacture.Click onBill of Materialsbutton and create a new one.SetBoM Type“Kit”.Configure the rest of the BoM. When you configure the component
lines, use the newPackagingandPackaging Qtyfields.Go toInventory > Delivery Orders (three dots) > New > Planned
Transfer.Fill theDelivery Address.Add oneOperationsline with the kit product you just created.Click onMark as TODO.You will notice that the kit has been replaced by its components,
and each component line includes the packaging and its qty, just
like you configured them in the BoM.To use it witha manufactured product, instead:Go toInventory > Products > Products.Create a product; the one that will be manufactured.SetProduct Type“Storable Product”.Configure its unit of measure (if you enabled that option).EnableInventory > Operations > Routes > Manufacture.Click onBill of Materialsbutton and create a new one.SetBoM Type“Manufacture this product”.Configure the rest of the BoM. When you configure the component
lines, use the newPackagingandPackaging Qtyfields.Go back to the product form.Click onReordering Rulesbutton and create a new one.Set some minimal and maximal quantities.Click onOrder Once. If you don’t see this button, you can also go
toInventory > Operations > Run Scheduler > Run Scheduler.Go toManufacturing > Operations > Manufacturing Orders. You will
see a new MO created from the reordering rule. Open it.See how theComponentslines contain packaging information, just
like you defined it in the BoM. The same would happen if you created
the MO manually.Bug TrackerBugs are tracked onGitHub Issues.
