Verpakking¶
In Odoo Inventory, packaging refers to disposable containers holding multiple units of a specific product.
For example, different packages for cans of soda, such as a 6-pack, a 12-pack, or a case of 36, must be configured on the individual product form. This is because packagings are product specific, not generic.
