Hello,

I am trying to implement Odoo (11 & 12) for a small business (grocery store) and I am facing some issues illustrated below:

Product A - Chocolate bar:

Sale's price: $2

Stock location: WH/Shelf-01

Vendor: Contonso

Barcode: 1234567890

Minimum qty: 10 Units

Can be Sold, Cannot be purchased.

I buy Product A from wholesaler in a package of 50 units (50 chocolate bars). This is a separate product with its own information:

Product B - Family Pack Chocolate box

Purchase Price: $50

Stock location: WH/Stock/location-01

Vendor: Contonso

Barcode: 9876543210

Minimum qty: 1 Units

Maximum qty: 3 Units

Cannot be Sold, Can be purchased.

I would like to be able to buy Product B and sell Product A with above workflow:

1) Buy product B from supplier.
2) Stock product B in WH/Stock/location-01
3) Unpack Product B (-> Product A) and move it to sale location (WH/Shelf-01)
4) Sale Product A through PoS sale channel.

My main issue is with step 3, how do I create a product that can be bought then unpacked, with the product and the package having different UPC bar-code, thus considered different products.

I tried using the Manufacturing module to create Product B then create BoM (Bill of Material) containing Product A, but it is sloppy and not representative of my operation: I am not manufacturing any product, barely buying in packs and selling in units.

One of my objectives behind this is being able to scan products (wholesale packages) while I am at the supplier and create a purchase order on-the-fly, or even process products pick-ups and stock transfer with my phone without having to type anything.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Best regards,
Cheg'
