I’m running into a problem in Odoo 18 community with product packaging when creating receipts manually.

Here’s the setup:

  • Product: Chocolate powder
  • Base UoM: Units
  • Packaging defined: Box (contains 4 Units), type Cardboard Box, active for Purchase and Sales.

What I expect:

  • When I create a receipt manually and add this product or other products configured the same way, if I select Packaging = Box and set Demand = 7, I expect Odoo should automatically calculate this as 28 Units in the stock move (otherwise why let me select the packaging).

What actually happens:

  • Odoo only shows 7 Units in the stock move.
  • The packaging definition is there, but it seems ignored in the receipt.
  • If I validate the receipt, only 7 units are received into stock, not 28.

So my question is:

Is this the intended behavior?

Does packaging only affect Purchase and Sales Orders, and not manual receipts in the Inventory app?

If so, what’s the recommended way to handle this? Should I be using Units of Measure (UoM) instead of packaging if I want the automatic conversion to happen in receipts?

I’ve double-checked my product configuration and packaging setup, but the issue persists. I’d like to confirm whether this is a limitation of Odoo or if I’m missing a step.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Ray. Thank you for the clear answer. That makes sense and explains why the packaging kept getting removed once I filled the demand field!

Odd design but it looks like it already addressed in the new major version.

In Odoo 18.0 the packaging is for informational purposes.  Demand is always based on the Unit:

Note: if your Demand is not equal to or a multiple of the Packaging, the Packaging will be removed.


In Odoo 19.0 packaging and Units of Measure are combined so you can enter the Demand and select either Units or Packaging with the conversion shown:
