Combo Products in Odoo are bundles or packages that combine multiple individual products into a single offering. Each product within the bundle has its own price, but when sold as a combo, the package typically has a combined price, often discounted compared to purchasing the items separately. For example, a combo product might include a printer, toner, and paper sold together at a reduced price.

The primary benefit of combo products is convenience: customers can purchase an entire bundle with a single click rather than selecting each item individually.

In this blog, we’ll explore how to create and utilize combo products in the Sales module of Odoo 18.

  • Creation of Combo choices

Let's move to the Odoo 18 Sales module in the Configuration menu. Under the product section, there is the combo choice sub-menu.

All the pre-created combo choices are visible on clicking the combo choices sub-menu. To create a new combo choice, just click the New button.

Once the New button is chosen, a form for setting the combo choices will be available. Fill in the fields on the form, such as Combo Choice, Company,  Product, Original Price, and Extra Price.

* Combo choice: Name of the Combo choice that was created.

* Company: Refers to the Company in which the choices are available. If the field is put as blank, this combo choice will be available to every company.

* Product: Products included in the combo.

* Original Price: Original price of the product. Here the sales price is managed from the product template. Click on the ‘Configure Variants’ button to set the extra attribute price.

* Extra Price: Extra price for the product when it is in the combo.

There are three products in this combo. The original price of the product will be automatically added there. Then, create one more choice and add different products to this choice.

The number of choices in a combo product may vary. Here let us create one more combo choice, and the combo product that is created now will have three choices.

The next step is to create a combo product. So move to Products and just create a new combo product there. Click the new button and provide the name of the combo product.

In the product form, when the product type is set as "Combo," an additional field called ‘Combo Choice’ becomes available. This field allows you to define multiple combo options. For example, you can add the newly created combo choices: ‘Burgers,’ ‘Juices,’ and ‘Cut Fruits.’

Once the combo choices are added, you can set the sales price for the combo product, such as the ‘Burger Menu Combo.’ This price will apply to the entire combo, encompassing all the selected products in the bundle, ensuring customers benefit from a unified and potentially discounted price.

  • Sales of Combo product

When the combo product has been created properly, create a sale order for this combo product.

Only if one product has been selected from each combo choice, it is possible to click the confirm button. At the bottom of the popup window for selecting products, there is a plus and minus button to add the quantity of the product.

When creating a combo product in Odoo, the total price of the combo is set to $800, and the prices of the individual products in the sales order line are adjusted proportionally based on the original product prices and the total combo price. This ensures that the combined price reflects the set combo price while maintaining a logical distribution across the products in the bundle.

Original Prices of Products:

  1. Bacon Burger: $300
  2. Grape Juice: $200
  3. Watermelon: $100

Adjusted Prices in the Combo:

The adjusted prices of the products are calculated based on their relative weight in the original total price. Here’s how the prices change:

  1. Total Original Price: $300 (Bacon Burger) + $200 (Grape Juice) + $100 (Watermelon) = $600
  2. Proportional Adjustment for Combo Price: Total Combo Price = $800

Summary of Adjusted Prices:

  • Bacon Burger: $400 (from $300)
  • Grape Juice: $266.67 (from $200)
  • Watermelon: $133.33 (from $100)

The total price for the combo in the order line is $800, and the individual product prices reflect the proportional adjustment based on the combo pricing logic. This ensures transparency and fairness while maintaining the discounted pricing advantage for customers.

Click the Delivery smart tab to validate the delivery of the combo products. All the products in the combo are there to deliver.

There will be a validate button to validate the delivery of the three products. As we ordered a single product to the sale order line, there are three products to deliver.

In Odoo, the Moves smart tab in the delivery order provides detailed move history for the products in the order. This includes information such as the quantity of products delivered, the source location from which the products were picked, and their destination. This data ensures traceability and helps track the flow of goods within the system.

Move History in the Delivery Order

  • The Moves tab shows:Product Name: The items included in the delivery order.Quantity Delivered: The count of each product delivered.Source Location: The warehouse or inventory location from which the product was picked.Destination Location: Where the product is being delivered.

Viewing Move History in the Inventory Module

  • Navigate to the Inventory module.
  • Under the Reporting menu, access the Move History Report.
  • Apply a filter based on the Reference Number of the delivery order to view detailed move data.

Details Displayed in the Move History Report

  • The report will show:The three products included in the delivery order and their quantities.The Source Location (e.g., warehouse or storage zone) for each product.The Destination Location (e.g., customer location or specific delivery point).

This feature allows businesses to maintain complete visibility over their delivery operations and ensures efficient inventory management while adhering to proper documentation and reporting practices.

The next step is to create an invoice for the sale order for the combo products. So move back to the Sales module, select the sale order, and click the Create invoice button.

In the invoice, the first line will display the combo product, followed by individual lines for the combo choices in the specified order. Once all details are confirmed, clicking the Confirm button finalizes the invoice, completing the entire process of selling a combo product using the Odoo 18 Sales module.
