Hello Yogi,

The challenge you're facing with Odoo's eCommerce app not supporting sales by multiples of packaging, despite the merge of units and packaging in version 19, is indeed a notable limitation. This occurs because the eCommerce module primarily interacts with products based on their base unit of measure (UoM), not taking into account the packaging UoM directly on the product page. Here's a step-by-step approach to address this issue:

  Consider creating a custom module to extend the eCommerce app functionality. This module can introduce an option for customers to select quantities based on packaging units directly.

  Utilize Odoo's Product Configurator to offer products in different packaging options. Although this might require setting up variants for each packaging type, it can be a workaround without needing additional development.

  Engage with the Odoo community through forums and Odoo's official GitHub to propose this feature as an enhancement for future releases. Contributions and feature requests from users often guide the development roadmap.

Hi,

Despite the unification of units and packages in the core sales application, the website shop remains restricted to selling only in the product's base unit of measure. This creates a significant inconvenience for B2B customers who need to purchase in specific packaging multiples, as they cannot select boxes or cartons directly and must manually calculate the equivalent base unit quantity.

The core issue is that the ecommerce module does not incorporate the packaging functionality available in the sales application. This represents a major gap between B2B and B2C ecommerce needs within Odoo. Your assessment is correct that creating a separate product entry with a different UoM for ecommerce is an impractical workaround due to the complex inventory management it would require.

Currently, the most viable solutions involve custom development. You can either create a custom module to extend the website product view to include packaging selection or explore existing community apps designed to bridge this functionality gap. Submitting an improvement request through your enterprise support channel is also recommended, as collective feedback may prioritize this enhancement in a future release. This limitation remains a notable dent in an otherwise well-designed ecommerce application, particularly for businesses operating with complex packaging requirements.

Hope it helps
