12.0-16.0 handle product.packaging in Odoo PoS

[legalsylvain]

Quick Setting

• Install PoS
• Go to Inventory > Configuration > settings and enable "​Product Packagings"
• Create a product like this

• Create a Packaging like this

• Open your Point of Sale

• Scan the product. (2341321000002). it works (adding 1x Bottle)
• Scan the package (3356997201003). It doesn't work.

Expected behaviour : adding 6 x bottle in the current PoS Order.

How do you handle that case ?

Thanks !

I doubt it is implemented.

The easiest way to solve this, is to use a different product for the pack. And do not use packaging for that.

Hello we use BoM with kit option... beers also ;-)

And do not use packaging for that.

Thanks @hparfr, for your answer. But so, in which case product.packaging is usefull ?
I mean, I don't understand why a barcode field is present in this model, if it is useless.

Hello we use BoM with kit option... beers also ;-)

thanks @cvinh. indeed, that's the alternative way.

Cons :

• I have to fully configure another product
• I have to configure a BoM
• It duplicates product entries in my reportings. It is so complicated to know what is the "top product" for exemple.

Pro :

• I can set a different sale price for the pack. (but for the time being, I don't need it).

Question :

• what is the "kit option" ?
• in the use case where you buy only pack of 6, and you sell pack of 6 or single bottles, how do you unpack automatically ? (to avoid to have negative quantity on the "bottle single" product ?

Bom Type = kit
This is for not doing manufacturing order but taking the components out of the stock

For Hinano beer that we love to drink in Tahiti, we have cans that can be sold individually or by pack of 6... but we buy them from supplier by pack of 24 (6x4).
Master product is the can as unit, it's used as main product for stock inventory... etc (Purchase unit is 'pack of 24')
Another product is 'pack of 6 cans' that have a kit bom (6 units for a pack)
It works very well

We will have the same requirement for a new customer selling beverages and might develop a module for it. Stay tuned! Target: V16

[legalsylvain]

Thanks @didierdonze for the information. Please ping me when you developped the module.
If I can avoid to configure mrp bom just for packaging, and reuse the product.packaging that seems to be simple, it's great.
