============
|

|
||||
Create package types by navigating to :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Configuration --> Package

||||
Types`, in order to set custom dimensions and weight limits. This feature is mainly used to
|
||||
calculate package weights for shipping costs.

- :doc:`../../shipping_receiving/setup_configuration/delivery_method`
|
||||
|
||||
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`: weight of an empty package (e.g. an empty box, pallet).
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Odoo calculates the package's weight by adding the weight of the empty package plus the weight of
|
||||
the item(s), which can be found in the :guilabel:`Weight` field, in the :guilabel:`Inventory`
|
||||
tab, of each product form.
|
||||
|
||||
- :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.
