Units of Measure
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
Units of measures are an indication about the unit used to handle a
|
||||
product. Products can be expressed in multiple units of measure at once.
|
||||
Units of measure specify the unit used to handle a product. In Odoo, you
|
||||
have the possibility to specify the unit of measure in which you manage
|
||||
your stock and the one which is used when purchasing the product to your
|
||||
supplier.
|
||||
|
||||
Activate this option if you are working with several ones in your
|
||||
warehouse.
|
||||
|
||||
The purchase unit of measure might be different that the one you use in
|
||||
your warehouse.
|
||||
|
||||
The selling unit of measure is set on the sale order and can be
|
||||
different.

|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
The conversion between the different units of measures is done
|
||||
automatically. The only condition is that all the units have to be in
|
||||
the same category (Unit, Weight, Volume, Length,...)
|
||||
The *conversion* between the different units of measure is done
|
||||
automatically. The only condition is that all the units have to be in
|
||||
the *same category* (Unit, Weight, Volume, Length,...)
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if I have the following reordering rule for the egg and I
|
||||
run the scheduler, the quantity added in the automatically generated
|
||||
purchase order will be in dozens but what will enter the stock will be
|
||||
units.

Packages
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
The package is the physical container in which you put one or several
|
||||
product.
|
||||
products from a picking. For example, when you deliver a product, you
|
||||
can decide to separate the quantity into two different packages. It then
|
||||
allows you to have a report with the quantity of products for each
|
||||
package.

Packaging
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
Packaging is the physical container that protects your product.
|
||||
The packaging is the physical container that protects your product. If
|
||||
you are selling computers, the packaging contains the computer with the
|
||||
notice and the power plug.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are selling computers, the packaging contains the computer with
|
||||
the notice and the power plug.
|
||||
In Odoo, packagings are used for indicative purposes on sale orders.
|
||||
They can be specified on the product form, in the inventory tab.
|
||||
|
||||
In Odoo, packagings are just used for indicative purpose.

|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
You can define on the **Packages** which **Packaging** it uses. But it is
|
||||
only for indicative purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
When to use packages, packagings or unit of measures ?
|
||||
=======================================================
|
||||
|
||||
For example, you are sellings eggs. In your warehouse, you manage the
|
||||
eggs individually. Lots of eggs are scrapped and you do it egg by egg.
|
||||
The **unit of measure** is ``Unit(s)``.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are selling eggs by the dozen, the selling **unit of measure** is
|
||||
the ``Dozen``. You will set it on your sale order.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``cardboard trays`` that contains the dozen of eggs is the **packaging**.
|
||||
|
||||
When you are selling several trays, you might wrap all the trays into a
|
||||
``box`` or in a ``plastic`` wrapping. It is the **package**.
|
||||
|
||||
.. seealso::
|
||||
* :doc:`uom`
|
||||
Another useful use of the packaging is for product reception. By
|
||||
scanning the barcode of the packaging, Odoo adds the number of units
|
||||
contained in the packing on the picking.
