When Should you Use Packages, Units of Measure or Special Packaging?

Units of Measure
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
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.

|
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
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
To separate a delivery into different packages you will have to set the
|
|
done quantity to the desired package quantity then click on "PUT IN
|
|
PACK", do this for each package.

Packaging
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
In Odoo, packagings are used for indicative purposes on sale orders.
|
|
They can be specified on the product form, in the inventory tab.

.. note::
|
|
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.
