Products¶
Products can be created from the backend or the POS interface. To manage products from the backend, go to . Click New to create a product, or open an existing one to edit it. Update the fields as needed and ensure the Point of Sale checkbox is enabled at the top of the form.

POS product categories¶
POS product categories are used to organize products in the POS register.
To manage POS categories, follow these steps:
Navigate to .
Click New to create a category or click an existing one to update it.
Classify and build a hierarchy between categories: Associate a category with a parent category by filling in the Parent Category field. A parent category groups one or more child categories (e.g., use
Drinksto groupHot beveragesandSoft drinks).
Once POS product categories are created, assign them to specific products:
Go to and open a product form.
Navigate to the Point of Sale tab and fill in the Category field with one or multiple POS categories.
To limit the categories displayed on the POS register, navigate to the POS settings and select the relevant categories in the Restrict Categories field under the Product & PoS categories section.
Product combos¶
A product combo is a bundle of multiple products sold together as a unit. Each product combo consists of multiple categories, known as combo choices, and each combo choice contains several items. When purchasing a product combo, customers can select one or more items from each combo choice.
Example
A burger menu is offered as a product combo including three combo choices: one burger, one drink, and one portion of fries. For each combo choice, customers select one item from the available options (e.g., cheeseburger or chicken burger; soda or water; regular or large fries).

Combo choice creation¶
To create the combo choices that will be added to the product combo, follow the next steps:
Go to and click New.
Enter a name for the Combo Choice.
Set the maximum selectable items for the combo choice using the Maximum items field.
Set the number of items included in the combo choice using the Includes items field.
Click Add a line under the Options section to add the products that constitute the Combo Choices.
If needed, click a product to add an Extra Price.
Combo Price vs. Extra Price
The Combo Price field shows the price applied to any additional product a customer might select (i.e., when the Maximum items field is set to
2or higher). This price is automatically calculated based on the price of the least expensive product defined in the Combo Choice.The Extra Price field is used to set an additional charge for a specific product in the combo choice, e.g., to cover higher costs or encourage upselling. This extra price is applied each time a customer selects that product within the combo choice.

To create a specific product that contains combo choices, follow the next steps:
Go to and click New.
Enter a product name.
Set the Product Type to Combo and select the relevant Combo Choices.

Combo application¶
To apply combos, follow these steps:
Open the POS register.
Click the desired product combo, and select the preferred items for each combo choice.
Click Add to order.
Continue with the order process.
Note
The total price of the product combo, as displayed in the POS register, is based on the Sales Price defined on the product combo’s form. Selecting several products in the combo choices and selecting a product with an Extra Price influences the total price.
Example
The Office Combo has a Sales Price of 300 € and offers a selection of chairs and desks. The combo choice for chairs includes a conference chair, an office chair, and an armchair with a maximum selectable amount set to 2. The Combo Price for the chair combo choice is 35 € per added item because the conference chair is the least expensive product. The armchair has an Extra Price of 100 € because it is made of leather. Selecting the conference chair with the armchair increases the price of the Office Combo to 435 €. Thus, selecting the armchair adds 35 € (Combo Price) + 100 € (Extra Price).
Serial numbers and lots¶
Using lots and serial numbers allows you to track product movements throughout their lifecycle. When traceability is enabled, Odoo identifies a product’s location based on its last recorded movement.
To track products by lots or serial numbers:
Selling tracked product¶
Adding a tracked product to the cart from the POS register imports its serial number or lot number automatically.
When you load a quotation/SO containing tracked products, a pop-up window asks to confirm if the numbers linked to the SO should be imported. Click Ok to proceed. Once imported, the tracking numbers appear in the cart below the corresponding products, next to the (Valid product lot) icon.
Tracking status and manual changes¶
Tracking numbers can be monitored and modified using the (product lot) icon:
Green (Valid product lot) icon: The tracking number was successfully imported or assigned.
Red (Invalid product lot) icon: The tracking number is missing or incorrect.
Modification: To change a tracking number, click the (Valid product lot) icon and select a different lot or serial number from the pop-up window.
Note
An invalid or missing tracking number does not block a sale. However, it triggers a warning pop-up that must be acknowledged before proceeding to the payment screen.
