When Should you Use Packages, Units of Measure or Kits?
=======================================================
Unit of measures
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.

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**.

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.
