[v8] Is Odoo able to manage products that work with variable units of measure?
by
Manuel López
I am facing serious
problems trying to implement Odoo to work with products that use two units of
measure and the conversion between them is variable. This seems to be a very
common scenario in many industries, that you buy and sell a product in "Pieces"
but you manageyour stock and have the prices of the Kg.
Example: Food
industry dedicated to buy and sell chickens and other
poultries.
When we
buy:
- We buy chickens by
units (we make purchases orders saying "Send me 1000 chickens") but we negotiate
the price with the supplier by Kg, say 1€/Kg.
- When we make a
purchase order we do not know in advance how many Kgs correspond to 1000
chickens (well, we have an aproximate idea of how many Kg will weight a chicken,
an average weight, say 2Kg/chicken, but not the exact weight that the delivered
1000 chickens will have on arrival).
- When we receive
the chichens, we weight them and input in stock the exact Kgs they
weight, let's say 1900 Kgs.
When we
sell:
- Our customers,
groceries stores and restaurants, ask us for chickens also in units ("hey, send
me 20 chickens!"), so our salesmans fill the Sale Order with 20
chickens.
- The price we give
to our customers is by Kg, say 3€/kg
- As with purchases,
when the customer places the Sale Order we do not know exactly how much will
weight the 20 chickens.
- When we prepair
the delivery order is when we weight 20 chickens and input it in the order, say
the 20 chickens = 38.750 Kgs
- If we invoice the
delivery order, the line should show up 20 chichens and/or 38.750
Kgs
This operative seems
pretty straightforward and should mean no problem, given Odoo is able to work
with two units of measure, but I am unable to make it work
correctly.
I configure the
product as:
Product: Fresh
chicken
UoM:
Kg
List Price:
3€
UoP:
Unit
Uos:
Unit
UoS -> UoM Coeff:
0.5
In the Sale Order I
can input 20 chicken and automatically 40 Kgs are calculated, no problem with
that, is obviuosly an stimated average weight. Is when I go to the Delivery
Order that I input the actual weight, 38.750 Kgs, and it is then when Odoo also
converts that to 19.375 chickens!! If I make the invoice of the order, the
invoice line will show:
Product
Quantity UoM
Quantity UoS Unit
Price Subtotal
========
======= ==== =======
=== ======= ========
Frech
chicken 38.750
Kgs 19.38
Units
3.00€ 116.25€
When it should
show
Product
Quantity UoM
Quantity UoS Unit
Price Subtotal
========
======= ==== =======
=== ======= ========
Frech
chicken 38.750
Kgs
20.00 Units
3.00€ 116.25€
Am I doing something
wrong, facing the problem the wrong way, or is it simply that Odoo can not work
with products with variable units of measure?
Thank you and please
excuse my bad english.
