Hi all.

i have around 6000 products in my inventory. i have a new product that has 1.6 million combinations from multiple parts.

I was thinking that i can use the product atributes/variables feature as this would also adjust the price etc.

i can see this is just a tick box in settings to activate and start using but i would like to double check what would happen to all my existing products and if i can actually run this feature on a established odoo. (13) 

otherwise any other suggestions on how to achieve this without adding all 1.6million combinations.


many thanks.

Hi Steve,

The setting option will just enable a view/layout to see the product variants. If you activate this option, your existing products will not have any effect.

The option definitely will not affect your Odoo beside adding interface features to create attributes and variants.

But take into account Odoo would NOT allow to simply create 1.6M combinations. It is impossible from the timeouts point of view. That is why there is a restriction on 1000 items per creation. So, in order to process such big quantity you should think of preparing the script and check that in testing environment. 

Or you may rely on the 'on fly' option of attributes. Variants Creation Mode of the attribute let:

  1. Create variant as soon as attribute value is updated ("instantly)

  2. Create variant when it is needed using the configurator ("Dynamically") - Might be suitable for your goals

  3. Never create variants ("Never") but just use those also using the configurator. Might be also a good option.

Disregarding which option you select, prices would be affected anyway. Simultaneously, this features are designed for sales mainly, and might influence your warehouse, mrp, etc.

Besides, the features are different from version to version. The ones above relate to Odoo 13.
