There is very nice UI for product variant creation when using Sales order. A new window will pop up with the Attributes and variants lay in pills, radio as set. 

But the product variant creation when using Purchase order are not user friendly ie. table form. 


Does odoo have the intention to upgrade the UE on this or there is any workaround?

Hello,

In the Sales Order, the option used to add products refers to the Product Template. However, in the Purchase Order, there is no field for selecting a Product Template. When you choose a product in a Purchase Order, you are already selecting a specific variant, so the product configurator is not required.

Regarding your second screenshot, the table layout appears because the Variant Grid Entry option is enabled in the settings. That is why you see the variants displayed in a grid format.
Hope it is now clear.

Hi,


The user is inquiring about the discrepancy in user interface (UI) for product variant creation between Sales Orders and Purchase Orders in Odoo, noting that Sales Orders have a more intuitive UI with pills and radio buttons, while Purchase Orders use a less user-friendly table format. While it's uncertain if Odoo has specific plans to upgrade the Purchase Order UI, submitting a feature request through official Odoo channels is recommended to increase the likelihood of it being considered in future releases.

In the meantime, several workarounds exist. Odoo Enterprise users can leverage Odoo Studio to customize the Purchase Order view for a more user-friendly variant selection process. Alternatively, a custom Odoo module can be developed to override the default Purchase Order form view and implement a tailored UI. Additionally, exploring the "Variant Grid Entry" feature or searching for existing apps in the Odoo Apps store may provide enhanced product variant management features for Purchase Orders. Finally, ensure that the product variants are well defined in the product form.


Hope it helps

Ok and thank you.
I will submit a feature request for this and existing app. I highly doubt Odoo studio are able to customize the view to what is similar in Sale Order.
