Product Pack Category Restriction
This module allows you to restrict pack products to specific Product Categories.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 13.0Lets you mark product categories as allowed for pack products, and automatically blocks pack products from being placed in categories that are not marked as pack categories.
This module adds a new checkbox called "Is Pack Category?" on product categories. It works together with the product pack functionality, so you can decide which categories are allowed to hold pack products.
Where it appears: - On the product category form, right after the parent category field, you see the new "Is Pack Category?" checkbox. It is ticked by default. - On product and product variant forms, the pack flag and category field react to each other.
Automatic behaviour and rules: - When you change the category of a product, its pack flag is automatically set to match the category's "Is Pack Category?" value. - When a product is marked as a pack, the category field only offers categories that are marked as pack categories. - If you try to save a pack product in a category that is not a pack category, Odoo raises an error: "Pack Products must be part of a Pack Category." - If you try to remove the pack category flag from a category that already contains pack products, Odoo raises an error: "Non-pack Category can't contain pack products."
Areas touched: product categories, product templates and product variants. No new menus or reports are added.
