Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
I have a gift box as a product. In it, I leave the option to the customer to choose a configuration of 4 different product (bottles) out of a range of 9.
I don't find any way to implement that scenario. Would have been great if I can influence the BOM quantity for each item while doing the sales order.
One way would be to configure the product (gift box) with variants. Bottle 1/ Choice 2.. etc Values for each option would be the range of 9.
On the bom component line, use ‘applies to variant’
You could configure variant creation mode as never as well
Hi Thanks a lot for the answer. That makes sense.
So I tested it, I could create the BOM, which I was planning to build as a kit.
I created 4 attributes (bottle 1 to 4) and then the 9 values for each of them (TypeA, TypeB...).
I filled up the BOM with Apply on Variants. E.g. TypeA ot bottle, I had apply on variants : Bottle 1:TypeA, Bottle 2:TypeA ; Bottle 3:TypeA ; Bottle 4:TypeA.
When I create the sales order, I can indeed select which option I want to see. I confirm the sale, but when I go in delivery, on the detailed Operations or in the Operations tab, I see just the box (which is in the BOM of the gift box but not assigned to any specific variant. Just for trial, when I assigned TypeA to all bottles, I could see a quantity one of TypeA in the Operations tab.
Variants have been causing me some headaches... THanks!
Understood
1. By using variants the order taking process seems streamlined
2. The qty of the a variant (value) would always be set to ‘1’ as that is the qty set on BoM component line. The assumption here is that same bottle (value) wouldn’t be selected multiple times.
Two ways to handle this situation
a. Manually- the variant option selected on SO would be on the picking description.. basis this manually add the applicable bottles directly on the delivery order for traceability
b. Modify the BoM to have 36 lines (4 attributes * 9 values) so the qty of ‘1’ is applied multiple times on selection of the same value on SO
Also, am not sure if it is possible not to select any value for variant. My understanding is that it always defaults to 1st value.
In addition there is a new product type ‘combo’ that has been introduced in V17. However the use seems to be limited to PoS app for the moment. It might be useful if PoS is being considered for order management.
Hope this helps!
