Working with Odoo 11 - Third Edition

Product type

When you configure purchasing, you will want to pay special attention to product type. For this example, we have chosen Stockable Product because we wish to manage the inventory of the product and perhaps sell directly to the customer. Alternatively, you can choose a consumable product type. This would be a good choice for products you don't wish to manage in inventory and just plan to purchase and use, such as office supplies or coffee filters for the break room.
