Smart Package Calculation |
Community Enterprise Odoo.sh |
Package Calculation for Odoo helps businesses automatically select the most suitable package for products based on product dimensions, weight, package size, weight capacity, and quantity limits. This module is especially useful for businesses that need accurate package selection before requesting shipping rates from third-party carriers. In the standard shipping process, carrier rates are often calculated mainly based on total order weight, which may not always provide accurate shipping costs. This module improves the process by calculating the actual package breakdown required for the order and sending accurate package details to the carrier for rate calculation. With this module, users can define product dimensions such as length, width, height, and weight. Oversized or special items can be marked as big products. Users can also configure different package types with their dimensions, maximum weight capacity, and maximum quantity that each package can hold. When a sales order is created and shipping rates are requested, the system automatically checks the ordered products and selects the nearest-fit package based on product size and weight. Standard products are grouped into the smallest suitable package, while big products are assigned their own dedicated package. This helps ensure better packaging accuracy and more reliable shipping rate calculation. Package Calculation for Odoo reduces manual packing decisions, improves fulfillment speed, avoids incorrect shipping estimates, and helps businesses retrieve more accurate carrier rates by sending the exact package details to shipping providers.

01 Configure your product’s exact dimensions, and if the item is oversized, enable the Big Product option to ensure it is packed alone in a single package.
02 Configure each package along with its dimensions, weight and maximum quantity package can handle. If maximum quantity is set, system will not add more than this quantity to a single package while finding the best suitable of packages, even if dimension and weight constraints allow it.
03 Configure in Delivery Method whether you want to automatically determine the best combination of packages for your products when calculating shipping rates.
04 In this example, a sales order has been created with two products: one marked as a big product and the other as a standard product.
05 When you request shipping rates from a third‑party carrier on a sales order, the system first checks whether each item is flagged as a big product; it then determines the nearest‑fit package—either reserving a single package for oversized items or grouping standard items—by comparing their dimensions and weight.
06 Once the rate lookup completes, the system suggests five packages: two pallets with 48×48×72 (length*width*height) with maximum quantity is set to 4, one medium pallet with 40×36×72 with no maximum quantity set in it and two individual packages for the oversized product, which is flagged as a big item. Each package shows its weight and dimension.
07 If any product's dimension or weight exceeds your largest package then that item will be logged in the chatter with reason why that product did not fit inside any package (for this we have increased the dimension/weight).

What is the purpose of this module?This module helps Odoo automatically calculate and select the most suitable package for products based on product dimensions, weight, package size, package weight limit, and quantity capacity. |
|
|
Why do we need package calculation in Odoo?Many shipping carriers calculate rates based on package dimensions and weight, not only total order weight. This module helps send the correct package breakdown to the carrier, resulting in more accurate shipping rates. |
|
|
How does the module select the package?When shipping rates are requested, the module compares product dimensions and weight with the configured package types and automatically selects the nearest suitable package. |
|
|
Can we manually change the selected package?Yes, based on your workflow, the selected package can be reviewed and adjusted before final shipment processing if required. |
