|
||
A *package* is a physical container holding one or more products. Packages can also be used to store | ||
items in bulk. | ||
|
||
Packages are commonly used for the following purposes: | ||
|
||
#. :ref:`Relocating products from stock <inventory/warehouses_storage/package-use>` to packing or | ||
outbound areas for delivery. | ||
#. :ref:`Shipping to customers <inventory/warehouses_storage/package-type>`, in which package types | ||
are configured to align with shipping carriers' size and weight requirements, streamlining the | ||
packing process, and ensuring compliance with carrier shipping specifications. | ||
#. Storing items in bulk. | ||
|
||
*Package use* is a field on the package form in Odoo that is only visible by enabling the *Batch | ||
Transfers* feature in the settings of the *Inventory* application. | ||
|
||
The default package type is *Disposable*, so this feature is **only** required when packages are | ||
intended to be used for batch transfers and/or other internal warehouse moves. | ||
|
||
*Package type* is an optional feature used to create packages with defined dimensions and weight | ||
limits. This feature is mainly used to set templates, and ensure packages comply with the shipping | ||
requirements of third-party carriers. | ||
|
||
.. note:: | ||
While packages are commonly used in the :doc:`three-step delivery route | ||
<../../shipping_receiving/daily_operations/delivery_three_steps>`, they can be used in any | ||
workflow involving storable products. | ||
|
||
.. seealso:: | ||

<../../shipping_receiving/advanced_operations_shipping/multipack>` | ||

||

|
||
Configuration | ||
============= | ||
|
||
To use packages, first go to :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration --> Settings`. Under | ||
the :guilabel:`Operations` heading, activate the :guilabel:`Packages` feature. Then, click | ||
:guilabel:`Save`. | ||
|
||

||
Package use | ||
=========== | ||
|
||
.. note:: | ||
The following section is **only** necessary when packages are intended to be used for cluster | ||
pickings. | ||
|
||
.. seealso:: | ||
:doc:`Cluster picking <../../warehouses_storage/advanced_operations_warehouse/cluster_picking>` | ||
|
||
First, navigate to :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration --> Settings`, and activate the | ||
:guilabel:`Batch Transfers` feature, located in the :guilabel:`Operations` section. Doing so makes | ||
the *Package Use* field appear on a package form. | ||
|
||
.. image:: package/enable-batch.png | ||
:align: center | ||
:alt: Activate the *Batch Transfers* feature in Inventory > Configuration > Settings. | ||
|
||
Then, go to the package form to configure the package intended for batch picking. To do that, | ||
navigate to :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Products --> Packages`. | ||
|
||
On this page, add new packages by clicking :guilabel:`New`, or select an existing package. Doing so | ||
opens the package form, which contains the following fields: | ||
|
||
- :guilabel:`Package Reference` (required): name of the package. | ||
- :guilabel:`Package Type`: used for :ref:`configuring shipping boxes to ship to the customer | ||
<inventory/warehouses_storage/package-type>`. | ||
|
||
.. note:: | ||
:guilabel:`Package Type` is unnecessary for configuring batch transfer packages. | ||
|
||
- :guilabel:`Shipping Weight`: used to input the weight of the package after measuring it on a | ||
scale. | ||
- :guilabel:`Company`: specify a company to make the package available **only** at the selected | ||
company. Leave the field blank if the package is available at all companies. | ||
- :guilabel:`Location`: current location of the package. | ||
- :guilabel:`Pack Date`: the date the package was created. | ||
- :guilabel:`Package Use`: choose :guilabel:`Reusable` for packages used for moving products within | ||
the warehouse; :guilabel:`Disposable` for packages used to ship products to customers. | ||
|
||

Add to batch | ||
------------ | ||
|
||
.. important:: | ||
The following example uses packages in a :doc:`three-step delivery | ||
<../../shipping_receiving/daily_operations/delivery_three_steps>` workflow. | ||
|
||
This workflow requires the :guilabel:`Packages`, :guilabel:`Storage Locations`, and | ||
:guilabel:`Multi-Step Routes` features to be enabled in :menuselection:`Inventory app --> | ||
Configuration --> Settings`. | ||
|
||
On the warehouse configuration page (:menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration --> | ||
Warehouses`), the :guilabel:`Outgoing Shipments` option **must** be set to :guilabel:`Pack goods, | ||
send goods in output and then deliver (3 steps)`. | ||
|
||
After confirming a sales order, selecting the :guilabel:`Delivery` smart button displays the three | ||
tasks to complete the delivery. | ||
|
||
.. image:: package/three-step.png | ||
:align: center | ||
:alt: Clicking "Delivery" smart button displays the pick, pack, ship steps. | ||
|
||
To create a batch transfer, navigate to :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Operations --> Internal` | ||
and select the checkboxes next to the pick operations that are to be added to the batch. | ||
|
||
After the pick operations are selected, navigate to the :guilabel:`Actions ⚙️ (gear)` icon button, | ||
and select :guilabel:`Add to batch` from the list of drop-down menu options. | ||
|
||
.. image:: package/create-batch.png | ||
:align: center | ||
:alt: Add pickings to batch. | ||
|
||
Doing so opens an :guilabel:`Add to batch` pop-up window. Click :guilabel:`Confirm` to finish | ||
creating the batch. | ||
|
||
.. seealso:: | ||
:ref:`More info about the fields in the 'Add to batch' window | ||
<inventory/warehouses_storage/add-batch-transfers>` | ||
|
||
Pack items | ||
---------- | ||
|
||
After creating the batch, open the batch transfer (:menuselection:`Inventory app --> Operations --> | ||
Batch Transfers`), and select a reusable package (created in the :ref:`previous step | ||
<inventory/warehouses_storage/package-use>`) in the :guilabel:`Destination Package` field to place | ||
items in the package. | ||
|
||
.. example:: | ||
The reusable package, `CLUSTER-PACK-1`, is assigned to the :guilabel:`Destination Package` field | ||
of all items in the batch transfer, `BATCH/00003`. | ||
|
||
.. image:: package/assign-package.png | ||
:align: center | ||
:alt: Assign pickings to a package through the "Destination Package" field. | ||
|
||
Alternatively, click the :guilabel:`Put in Pack` button to create a new package, and place all the | ||
items in the batch in that newly-created package. | ||
|
||
.. note:: | ||
Ensure the new package's :guilabel:`Package Use` field is set to :guilabel:`Reusable` by clicking | ||
the package's :guilabel:`➡️ (right arrow)` icon to open the package form. | ||
|
||
.. image:: package/pack-internal-link.png | ||
:align: center | ||
:alt: Show internal link | ||
|
||
.. example:: | ||
|
||
Clicking :guilabel:`Put in Pack` creates a new package, `PACK0000002`, and assigns all items to | ||
it in the :guilabel:`Destination Package` field. | ||
|
||
.. image:: package/put-in-pack.png | ||

Package type | ||
============ | ||
|
||
Create package types at :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration --> Package Types` to set | ||
custom dimensions and weight limits. This feature is mainly used to set templates, and ensure | ||
packages comply with the shipping requirements of third-party carriers. | ||
|
||
.. seealso:: | ||
:doc:`Shipping carriers <../../shipping_receiving/setup_configuration/third_party_shipper>` | ||
|
||
On the :guilabel:`Package Types` list, clicking :guilabel:`New` opens a blank package type form. The | ||
fields of the form are as follows: | ||
|
||
- :guilabel:`Package Type` (required): define the package type's name. | ||
- :guilabel:`Size`: define the dimensions of the package in millimeters (mm). The fields, from left | ||
to right, define the :guilabel:`Length`, :guilabel:`Width`, and :guilabel:`Height`. | ||
- :guilabel:`Weight`: record the theoretical weight of the package type. This value is a placeholder | ||
for when the weight of the contained products is not available. | ||
- :guilabel:`Max Weight`: maximum shipping weight allowed in the package. | ||
- :guilabel:`Barcode`: define a barcode to identify the package type from a scan. | ||
- :guilabel:`Company`: specify a company to make the package type available **only** at the selected | ||
company. Leave the field blank if it is available at all companies. | ||
- :guilabel:`Carrier`: specify the intended shipping carrier for this package type. | ||
- :guilabel:`Carrier Code`: define a code that is linked to the package type. | ||
