This module allows the use of deposit products for PoS products.
An example of such a deposit product would be a bottle of cola, where the bottle is being sold for an extra 25 cents, which you get back when you bring the bottle back to the store intact. Whenever the cola is added to a PoS order, the bottle is added too. If the cola quantity changes, the bottle quantity will change as well.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Lets you charge a refundable container deposit in the Point of Sale: when a product with a deposit is sold, its deposit product is added automatically and its quantity follows the sold quantity.
This module adds container deposits to Point of Sale products. On a product form, in the Point of Sale section, you can mark a product as a deposit container ("is_deposit") or link a product to a deposit product that represents the container charge. Only products that are sold, available in POS and not services show these fields, and the deposit product must itself be flagged as a deposit.
In the Point of Sale screen, when a cashier adds a product that has a deposit product, the deposit line is added automatically with the same quantity. Changing the quantity of the sold product changes the deposit line quantity too, and removing the product removes the deposit line. Deposit lines cannot be selected or merged with other lines, so the cashier cannot accidentally edit them. If the deposit product is not available in the POS, an error popup appears and the product is not added.
The module touches product.template, product.product and pos.session (to load the deposit fields into the POS). It also adds a search filter on deposit products in the product search view. Copies of a product keep their deposit product.
