Hello Maurice Moretti, 

I understand your problem, we have something similar. We need a nested package system. 

Our goal is to have a package list for our customer which looks like:

PACKAGE001 (Type Pallet):

​PACKAGE018(Type box-small):

​ ​Product1 qty 10

​ ​Product2 qty 5

​ ​Product3 qty 20

​PACKAGE033(Type box-big):

​ ​Product4 qty 100

PACKAGE2(Type Pallet):  

​ ​PACKAGE034(Type box-big):

​ ​Product4 qty 100

​PACKAGE035(Type box-big):

​ ​Product4 qty 100

There could be a workarround if you use multi step warehouse routes like pick & pack & ship.

In the pack transfer you pack the products to the "box" type packages. 

In the ship transfer you take these packages as source - will be done automatically - and for destination you create new packages with type "pallet". You have to do that manually. 

You have to take the information from detailed operations and use that in your custom report "print package list" to show the customer which product is in which box and which box is on which pallet.

Im still looking for a better solution..

We are using Odoo 16, and we have the same issue.

We ended up trying to develop a custom module for handling "package inheritance", but it gets really complicated. We're far from the ideal solution.

I would gladly hear Odoo's official answer on this matter, because it's actually crazy that this thing is not supported by default... they must have reasons for not implementing it, I hope..

Hi many thanks for your reply, but that does not solve my problem.

Basically I would like to include (small) packages in a (bigger) package and that does not seem to be handled by Odoo

You can only include products in a package.

Big customers usuallt store on a single pallets, several layers of boxes each containing some products.

Could not find any way to handel this with OE 18
