Hello fellow Odooers, 

I'm currently working on improving the shipping quotation process for our Odoo website, aiming for better accuracy and efficiency.

 I'm searching for a solution or algorithm that allows me to:

1. Specify how many units of a particular product can fit into a predefined box size.

2. Dynamically select and fill boxes based on the number of products in an order. For instance, if Box A can fit 10 units and the customer orders 15, it should place 10 units in Box A and choose the next appropriate box size for the remaining 5.

3. When one box is full, the algorithm should close it and start filling the next best-fitting box for the remaining items.

4. After the box selection and filling process, the algorithm should provide the dimensions and weights of all boxes used.

5. Integrate this information with our shipping carrier API (we use easypost) to generate an accurate shipping quote for the customer. 

Has anyone here tackled a similar challenge or have insights into a module, add-on, or custom solution that might address this? Any guidance or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you in advance!

Hi Nat, Sorry for the late reply but no, I haven't had any luck at all.

Did you have any luck with this? I'm trying to do the same thing, also currently using easypost.

The only option I'm seeing at the moment to using the rule based pricing which has knowledge of the products qty, weight, and volume, so it can probably be made pretty accurate. But it means you wouldn't get the pricing from easypost. 

Odoo has most of what's needed different box types, and delivery methods, I'm not seeing any built in way to assign items to boxes at time of quote/estimate.
