Im new to the odoo (version 12) and i would like to configure something like this:
1. Create a product for example: rubber (the one which you have in pants:)) (https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/3cb05626-0d20-42f8-8285-60ac39daceff_1.34fb4e7cd9560a4e5bced33d3341d8d6.jpeg?odnHeight=450&odnWidth=450&odnBg=FFFFFF)
The product unit of measure is Meter.
Product Can't be sold. Product can be purchased
Im having a problem with the "Purchase" tab because vendors sells the same product in different "packaging". For example
Vendor A sells Rubber in Roll which have 27 meters. Vendor sells only Rolls which means i can buy 27m, 54m, 81m
Vendor B sells Rubber in Roll which have 30 meters. Vendor sells only Rolls which means i can buy 30m, 60m, 90m
I think that setting minimum quantity is not resolving my problem because vendors are selling the same product in different "packaging".
Could anyone explain to me how could i resolve this problem? I was looking for some module which could resolve this but nothing works:
https://www.odoo.com/apps/modules/12.0/packaging_uom/#configuration <- i installed this module but nothing changed in Odoo
https://www.odoo.com/apps/modules/10.0/purchase_packaging/ <- not supported for odoo 12. I think this is something which im looking for.

Hi,
You need to activate "Units of Measure" that enables you sell and purchase products in different units of measure (configuration>settings>Units of Measure) and create your units of measure (Roll x meters, Roll y meters, etc).
After you created your UOM, when creating a RFQ/PO, you can choose the desired UOM, it only needs to be in the same category. The "Purchase Unit of Measure" is only the "Default" to speed up the process, but can be selected on each RFQ.

Hi Ricardo,
thank you for your answer but there is no possibility to purchase the same product in different UOM.
When you configure the "purchase" tab the unit of measure on product variant is taken from the product and im not able to change it.
Below i created an imge what i would like o achieve. Maybe there is a configuration which i could change to achieve this?

Go to Inventory > Configuration > Settings, scroll down to the "Products" section and enable "Units of Measure". This will allow you to use multiple UoMs and define custom ones.
Ricardo has provided the link to the instructions that explain how to set up the UoMs on the products.
I did all of this but this is not resolving the problem.
I want to purchase product in multiple unit of measures and it is not possible to do this as Product can have ONE purchasing UOM. What i need is Multiple purchasing UOM.
The instruction which was sent by Ricardo is not showing the definition of the prices from Vendors.
I added two lines to my answer, I hope it helps!
Hi Ricardo,
thank you for the answer. I know it is possible but how the purchasing team will know that vendor A sells rubber in Rolls 27 meters and Vendor B sells rubber in Rolls 30 meter?
It would be hard for them to remember which Vendor is selling in which UOM. I wanted to make the purchasing process easier. Also if the UOM for specific vendor would be prepopulated also the price should be.
Maybe There is a module / app which will create pricelist for vendors with different UOM than the "Purchasing UOM" rather than doing this on Product Information page?

It raises a nother question: How do you choose which vendor to use? I expect that you want to round the qty to package size. In which function do you want that?
Hi Lars,
The purchasing team behaviour is that they know from which vendor they want to buy. System should help them to round qty to package size.
So when purchasing team wants to purchase something they follow this steps:
1. Select The product
2. Select The vendor
3. Then they are looking what kind of packaging they can buy.
4. They are putting into the basket the quantity in "packages".
5. When the product arrives to the warehouse they are interested how many UOM of this product arrived.
So for Example example usage:
0. Go to purchasing app. Create new order / quote
1. Select Rubber variant
2. Select Vendor A
3. Select Packaging "Roll 27 Meters"
4. Put 2 Qty of "Roll 27 Meters" into the order
5. When order arrives to warehouse they need to know that they received 54 Meters of Rubber which they want to use to manufacture clothes.
