auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Adds a company setting that automatically fills in a default packaging on purchase order lines, using the first packaging marked for purchase in the product configuration, and rounds the packaging quantity up to whole units.
This module adds an option in the Purchase settings that, once enabled, changes how purchase order lines behave.
When the option is switched on, each purchase order line automatically picks the first packaging found in the product's configuration that is flagged for purchase. The packaging quantity is then calculated from the ordered quantity divided by the packaging size, and always rounded up, so you never get half boxes or one-and-a-half pallets.
Where it appears: - A new checkbox in the Purchase settings screen, under the purchase settings block, labelled to assign the first packaging found in product configuration to purchase order lines. - The setting is stored per company, so different companies can behave differently.
The module touches the purchase order line, the company settings and the settings screen. It also adjusts the standard packaging search so that, when the default is applied, an existing packaging choice is not overwritten by Odoo's usual automatic selection.
No new menus, reports or scheduled actions are added. The behaviour is purely automatic on purchase order lines once the setting is enabled.
