This module allows to create automatically a package on delivery validation in order to help adding information about tracking as information can differ from packages even we have only one delivery (and several packages).
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Automatically creates a delivery package when a transfer is sent to the shipping carrier, so each delivery gets package records for tracking. The behaviour can be enabled per carrier or set as the default for new carriers.
This module adds an option to create a package automatically when a delivery is sent to the shipping company. It is useful when you want package-level tracking information even if a delivery only has one package.
Where it appears in Odoo: - On each delivery carrier form, a checkbox "Automatic package creation at delivery" is added after the invoicing policy field. - In Inventory settings, under the shipping section, a checkbox lets you set the default for new delivery carriers.
Business rules and automatic behaviour: - When a transfer is sent to the shipper, if the carrier has the option enabled (or if the context asks for it), the system looks at all move lines that do not yet have a package and puts them into a new package. - The default value for the carrier checkbox comes from the company setting, so new carriers inherit the company preference.
Models touched:
- delivery.carrier gets the new option.
- res.company stores the default preference.
- res.config.settings exposes that preference in the settings screen.
- stock.picking is extended so that sending to the shipper triggers the automatic package creation.
No new menus or reports are added; the feature is configured through existing carrier and inventory settings screens.
