Is it possible to put an Odoo Package inside of another Package? I have tried and not found a solution yet.
Packages would contain inventory items in bulk. And then those packages would be packed onto a skid (another "package" to store in a warehouse.
Each individual package would have a barcode so you can identify what is in it, and the master skid (package) would have a barcode to identify all the contents on the skid.
Or is there a better way to do this? The skid could be considered a location, but that doesn't seem the best solution.
Great question, doesn't seem like it is possible to do with standard Odoo configuration.
However, trying to understand what you mean by 'items in bulk'? Are they same product in a package or packages have varied items & qty.
If you have same item (& qty) each time in a package, you could consider the use of 'Product Packagings' (multiple of unit # of product). A barcode could be assigned here as well. Eg. 12 pack of coke. Multiple of these packagings can be put on a skid
Thanks - I tried that as well. How do I assign a barcode to the packagings?
In V16 Inventory > Configuration > Product Packagings
Thanks awesome - thanks for the tip. Looking forward to that feature in V16.
Just for anyone else following along and so I understand better.
You can still store and sell products as individual items.
But then also store them in a Product Packagings (ie. Case of 50) and assign a barcode to that box.
Then you can empty the 50 items from that case and move them to be sold individually again?
Thanks!
