Dear Community,


I work for a (very) small start-up business that has just been incorporated last year.

Our produce is measured in grams and stored in many small containers across two different locations.

The quality can significantly vary between batches which are either consumed for research purposes or sold - mostly in fractions; rarely as a whole. I recently started labeling them with QR codes (manually), such that everyone who uses an amount can quickly check its integrity. However, we also need to keep track of the remaining quantity. I'm thinking a database which is shared across different computers and a software that can generate QR codes for every entry and allows for several parameters with different units, e.g. grams (g), milliliters (ml), concentration (g/L) and so on. For now, it doesn't have to manage any sales or materials used during production; we really just have the need to track the residual amount, location, and some quality criteria for every finished batch. My question to you: Is odoo the right tool for this? Can we manage with the free version? Where should i start? FYI: I used to be able to deal with sql databases and coding in general. If there is a way i can modify the software to our needs, lmk.

While reading your description, I get confused what you are talking about...produce, product, lot/batch, attributes and inventory, all mixed up. Odoo (as other ERP systems) is generic enough to model many different kind of products using products, variants, attributes, UoMs (units of measures) and BoM (bill of materials). It is a matter of your product modeling, less a matter of Odoo. So you should be able to (logically) define your product first. What do you produce, what do you sell, what do you stock.
