Hello Jaideep,

Thanks for the suggestion on using the Packages functionality in Odoo. I have a follow-up question about how the serial numbers for the camera body and lens are linked when receiving multiple camera kits.

For example, if we receive 100 camera kits, each containing a camera body and a lens, we need to scan both the camera body and lens serial numbers one after another when the camera kit barcode is scanned.

How does Odoo handle this?

Example -

Expected - I have to receive 100 Kits. On the first Camera Kit barcode scan, Odoo should recognize it's a KIT and should assign the second scan (Serial Number) to camera body and the third scan (Serial Number) to camera lens and the process flow repeats for the rest 99 Kits.

Not - I have to receive 100 Kits. On the first Camera Kit barcode scan, Odoo recognizes it's a KIT and shows it's expecting 100 Camera Body + 100 Camera Lens. We then select Camera Body and scan 100 Camera Body Serial number. We later select Camera Len and scan 100 Camera Lens Serial number. None of these Body + Lens serial numbers are related. Although scanning these serial numbers while selling takes them out of the inventory.

When we scan the camera kit barcode, how does the system prompt us to enter the serial numbers for both the camera body and lens, and then link them together as part of the same kit?

I want to avoid having to scan 100 camera bodies and 100 lenses separately. Can you explain how this works with the package feature?

Thanks,

Veer

A product can be tracked by serial number (Manufactured product - sl number of individual components can be tracked with traceability) or serial number of it components (KiT BoM) but not both.

From your description it seems like the lens and camera body are contained in a box which is tracked by a unique name/ barcode. 

This can be achieved in Odoo by using the Packages functionality. Enable from Inventory > Configuration > Settings - operations section

Package reference /name is printed out as barcode and if you use disposable box, on scanning the package its contents are added to the transfer. It is also possible to print package barcode with contents.

The product camera kit can continue to be a KiT. At the time of receipt a lens and camera body are put in a package tracked by a unique number.

At time of delivery package is scanned which would add the individual products to delivery order. You would also be able to move entire package.
