Least Packages Removal Strategy | Odoo Inventory

welcome back oers today we're diving into the world of packages where items and quantities are tracked in each one of our beloved packages the removal strategy known as least packages selects packages closest to the demand minimizing the number of packages we have to pull from for example say we have packages of 10 and 30 chocolate bars when an order demands 15 chocolate bars the fiveo removal strategy might Reserve 10 chocolates from a package of 10 and the remaining five from another package this method consumes two packages but with the least packages removal strategy 15 units from the package of 30 are taken out to fulfill the order this way I can get all the chocolate bars I need from the fewest number of boxes instead of looking through a ton of different ones which saves me a ton of time so let's jump into our database to see how the least packages removal strategy works to use the least packages removal strategy I'll need to make sure that the packages feature is enabled to do that I'll go to the inventory app click on the configuration subheading and then click settings under the operations heading here at the top I can see that the packages setting is already activated looks like we're good to go if if we're setting the removal strategy on the product category that is all we need to do but before we move on because we'll be setting the removal strategy on the location we'll need to scroll down to the warehouse heading here at the bottom and make sure that storage locations and multi-step routes are enabled the storage locations feature allows us to store products in specific locations in our warehouse and set a removal strategy for each location multi-step Roots provides us with more options for how products are moved around our warehouse like setting a removal strategy for example looks like we're all set here today
