UNECE Rec 21 code set on the packaging level and propagated to related product packaging to identify the packaging type.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Adds official UNECE packaging type codes (Rec 21) to Odoo, so you can tag each packaging level with the standard packaging type it represents.
This module links Odoo packaging levels to the official United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) list of packaging type codes (Recommendation 21).
On the packaging level form (the screen where you define levels such as box, pallet or case), a new field "UNECE Packaging Types" lets you pick one or more standard codes. Only codes of the packaging type category can be selected.
A set of standard codes is loaded automatically, including Box (BX), Carton (CT), Case (CS), Bag (BG), Pallet (PL), Package (PK), Crate (CR), Drum (DR), Bottle (BO) and Cylinder (CY), each with a short description.
In the UNECE code list screen, a new search filter "Packaging Types (UNECE Rec 21)" lets you show only packaging type codes.
Behind the scenes, the module keeps a mapping between UNECE codes and packaging levels, and refreshes it automatically whenever a packaging level is created, changed or deleted. Other modules can then ask which packaging levels correspond to a given UNECE code, which is useful for standardised exchange of packaging information with partners.
