This module ensures the wizard of package type selection cannot create a package with a weight greater than the maximum configured on its packaging type if the constraint is enabled and maximum weight set.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Adds a company-wide setting to forbid overweight packages and blocks the package selection wizard when the shipping weight exceeds the maximum weight allowed by the chosen package type.

This module lets you enforce a maximum weight limit on packages during delivery. It adds a company setting called "Overweight packages forbidden", available in the Inventory settings screen. When this setting is enabled, each package type gets an "Overweight forbidden" flag that is automatically turned on (you can still change it per package type).

When a user selects a package type in the delivery package wizard, Odoo checks the shipping weight against the maximum weight defined on that package type. If the weight is higher and the package type is marked as strict, the wizard refuses to proceed and shows an error: "The weight of your package is higher than the maximum weight authorized for this package type. Please choose another package type."

The module touches the company settings, the package type form (where the flag appears), and the delivery package selection wizard. It does not change any other delivery or stock flows.

Usage

Source · Odoo 18.0

The constraint can be enabled at two levels:

  • Company: Settings - Inventory - Shipping -> Overweight packages forbidden
  • Package type with company level as default

If the constraint is disabled at the package type level Odoo behaves the usual way.
