Product Variants
I read about this capability:
In Open ERP, product means a raw material, a stockable product, a consumable or a service. You can work with whole
products or with templates that separate the definition of products and variants.
For example if you sell t-shirts in different sizes and colors:
• the product template is the “T-shirt” which contains information common to all sizes and all colors,
• the variants are “Size:S” and “Color:Red”, which define the parameters for that size and color,
• the final product is thus the combination of the two – t-shirt in size S and color Red.
The value of this approach for some sectors is that you can just define a template in detail and all of its available
variants briefly rather than every item as an entire product.
Note: Example Product templates and variants
A product can be defined as a whole or as a product template and several variants. The variants can be in one or
several dimensions, depending on the installed modules.
For example, if you work in textiles, the variants on the product template for “T-shirt” are:
• Size (S, M, L, XL, XXL),
• Colour (white, grey, black, red),
• Quality of Cloth (125g/m2, 150g/m2, 160g/m2, 180g/m2),
• Collar (V, Round).
This separation of variant types requires the optional module product_
can avoid an explosion in the number of products to manage in the database. If you take the example above it’s easier
to manage a template with 15 variants in four different types than 160 completely different products. This module
is available in the addons-extra list (it had not been updated, at the time of writing, to work in release 5.0 of
Open ERP).
I would like to know if it is now available
