产品变体

Product variants are used to give single products a variety of different characteristics and options for customers to choose from, such as size, style, or color, just to name a few.

Products variants can be managed via their individual product template, or by navigating to either the Product Variants or Attributes page. All of these options are located within the Odoo Sales application.

Example

An apparel company has the following variant breakdown for one their best-selling t-shirts:

  • Unisex Classic Tee

    • 颜色:蓝色、红色、白色、黑色

    • 尺寸 : S, M, L, XL, XXL

Here, the T-shirt is the product template, and T-shirt: Blue, S is a specific product variant.

Color and Size are attributes, and the corresponding options (like Blue and S) are values.

In this instance, there is a total of twenty different product variants: four Color options multiplied by five Size options. Each variant has its own inventory count, sales totals, and other similar records in Odoo.

First, create an Attribute Name, such as Color or Size.

Next, in the optional Category field, select a category from a drop-down menu to group similar attributes under the same section for added specificity and organization.

To view the details related to the attribute category selected, click the internal link ➡️ (arrow) icon to the far-right of the Category field. Doing so reveals that attribute category’s detail form.

The Display Type options are:

  • Radio: options appear in a bullet-style list on the product page of the online store.

  • Pills: options appear as selectable buttons on the product page of the online store.

Lastly, the eCommerce Filter Visibility field determines whether these attribute options are visible to the customer on the front-end, as they shop on the online store.

  • Visible: the attribute values are visible to customers on the front-end.

  • Hidden: the attribute values are hidden from customers on the front-end.

Attribute values

Attribute values should be added to the Attribute Values tab. Values can be added to an attribute at any time, if needed.

To add a value, click Add a line in the Attribute Values tab.

Then, enter the name of the value in the Value column. Next, check the box in the Is custom value column, if the value is custom (i.e. the customer gets to provide unique specifications that are specific to this particular value).

If the Display Type - Color option is selected, the option to add an HTML color code will appear to the far-right of the value line, to make it easier for salespeople and customers to know exactly what color option they’re choosing.

Clicking Create creates the attribute, which can be customized later. Clicking Create and edit… creates the attribute, and a Create Attribute pop-up form appears. In the pop-up form, proceed to modify the attribute in a number of ways.

Once an attribute is selected in the Attribute column, proceed to select the specific attribute values to apply to the product, via the drop-down menu available in the Values column.

变型的影响

In addition to offering more detailed product options to customers, product variants have their own impacts that can be taken advantage of throughout the Odoo database.

  • Barcode: barcodes are associated with each variant, instead of the product template. Each individual variant can have its own unique barcode/SKU.

  • Price: every product variant has its own public price, which is the sum of the product template price and any extra charges for particular attributes.

    Example

    A red shirt’s sales price is $23 – because the shirt’s template price is $20, plus an additional $3 for the red color variant. Pricelist rules can be configured to apply to the product template, or to the variant.

  • :guilabel:库存:对各产品变体的库存进行计数。在产品模板表单上,库存反映了所有变体的总和,但实际库存分变体计算。

  • :guilabel:图片:每个产品变体都可以有特定图片。
