This question has been flagged

Hi,
We are moving to Odoo next year.
We now use our SKU to determine the order of the lines printed on the sales orders and invoices.
In this way, randomly entered lines of a sales order are printed in a logical order for use in the warehouse and are easy to check by our customer on his invoice.  
We find this the most effective and understandable way for all involved without the need to create complex systems.
Easy example, Shoes in different sizes and colors. After entering all lines in a random order, the sales order or picking list is printed in the order of the SKU's and creates an easy-to-read and follow document. If not you have the same "kind" of articles all over the document.  Our SKU are as follows 301T018.301 / 301T018.317 / 301T020.301 / 301T065.358. In Odoo languages "018" and "301" are variants.
I hope that my question is not too cryptic and that someone can explain to me how to come to the same result in an Odoo document.
Thanks

Hi, thanks for your reply. 

Best Answer

In Odoo, you can achieve this by setting the default sorting order for the lines on sales orders and invoices. To do this, you can go to the Sales module, open the Configuration menu, and then select Settings. On the General tab, you will find a field called "Default Order Lines Sorting". You can set this field to sort by the Product Code (which corresponds to the SKU in your case) to ensure that the lines on sales orders and invoices are printed in the order of the SKU's.

Alternatively, you can also set the sorting order for individual sales orders and invoices by going to the sales order or invoice form, opening the Options menu, and then selecting the "Sort Order" option. This will allow you to set the sorting order for the lines on that particular sales order or invoice.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Your solution could solve our problem but on the Sales/configuration/settings page I don't see a "General" tab.
We use V16 Enterprise now. Where can I find these "General" settings, please?
