Stock Picking Volume From Packaging
This modules improves the way the volume is computed on a stock.move by taking into account the volume of the potential product packaging that can be picked to fulfill the move.
The potential packaging that can be picked for a move are computed by the module stock_packaging_calculator. Thanks to this module we can compute the best distribution of the packaging to uses to fulfill a specific quantity of a product. (This information is important for the picking operators to minimize the number of manipulations to do. Even if this information is not available into the Odoo UI, The Shopfloor addon takes advantage of it to propose the best picking strategy to the user).
By default the volume information is not available on the product packaging. Hopefully the module product_packaging_dimension provides this information.
Since the volume information is not a mandatory field on the product packaging when we ask for the best distribution of the packaging, packaging without volume information are ignored. In this way we ensure that the volume of the packaging is only taken into account when it's relevant otherwise we fallback on the volume of the products.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Computes the volume of a stock move using the volume of the product packagings that can be used to fulfill the quantity, instead of only the product's own volume.
This module changes how Odoo calculates the volume of a stock move when the product has packagings with a defined volume. It extends the product model with a volume calculation that first checks whether any packaging of the product has a volume. If none do, it falls back to the standard calculation.
When packagings with volume exist, the module asks the packaging calculator for the best distribution of packagings to fulfill the requested quantity. For each suggested packaging, it multiplies the packaging's volume by the number of packages, and for unit lines it uses the product's own volume. The total is returned as the move volume.
This affects any screen or report that shows the volume of a stock move, such as transfers and their printed documents, because the volume now reflects the actual packaging mix rather than a simple product-volume times quantity. It relies on the packaging calculator to propose the packaging distribution and on the packaging dimension module to provide packaging volumes. No new menus, buttons, or scheduled actions are added by this module.
