One product, every packaging, one clean line.
Merge Similar Packaging Product consolidates every packaging variant of the same item on Manufacturing Orders and outgoing deliveries into a single, traceable line — with a full audit trail you can reverse at any time.
The problem
The same component often arrives or ships in several packaging formats — boxes of 6, boxes of 12, loose units. Odoo lists each packaging as its own line, so Manufacturing Orders and delivery documents show the same product three or four times. Planners and warehouse staff waste time mentally reconciling quantities, and required-quantity checks become tedious and error-prone.
The solution
Merge Similar Packaging Product collapses every packaging line of the same product into one consolidated line expressed in the product's base unit, on both Manufacturing Orders and outgoing deliveries. Every merge keeps a full breakdown of the original packaging lines and can be reversed in one click, so nothing is ever lost.
Everything you need to consolidate packaging
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Merge on Manufacturing Orders
One button collapses every raw-material packaging line for the same product into a single line expressed in the product's base unit of measure.
Merge on Outgoing Deliveries
Consolidate duplicate packaging lines on outgoing delivery orders the same way, keeping paperwork clean for warehouse and dispatch teams.
Manual or Automatic Mode
Choose whether merges happen automatically on document confirmation or only when a user clicks Merge Similar Packaging, to match your workflow.
Full Audit Trail
Every merge creates a Packaging Merge Record capturing exactly which lines were combined, when, and by whom.
One-Click Reversal
Reverse any merge to instantly restore the original packaging lines with their exact quantities and locations.
Packaging Breakdown on Every Record
Inspect the Packaging Breakdown notebook on any merge record to see each source packaging and its contribution to the consolidated quantity.
Multi-Warehouse Consolidation
Optionally merge packaging lines across warehouses, or keep consolidation scoped to a single warehouse by default.
Smart Buttons on MOs and Deliveries
A Merges smart button on every Manufacturing Order and delivery links straight to its merge history.
Configurable from Settings
Turn merging on or off separately for Manufacturing Orders and deliveries, and set your default merge mode from one settings screen.

Frequently asked
