In businesses that process meat, seafood, fruits and vegetables, or cheese, the piece is counted for inventory management and the weight is used as the basis for pricing and invoicing.

An example: A cheese wheel = 1 piece, the actual weight is 7.3 kg. In Odoo, both values – quantity and exact weight – are recorded and taken into account in purchasing, sales, inventory, billing, and reporting.

With braintec's Catch Weight Management solution, two different units of measure for the same product can be managed in Odoo simultaneously.

For example, a customer orders 10 pieces of a product. The system initially calculates with a nominal weight for the forecast. Upon delivery, the actual weight of the 10 pieces is recorded. This exact weight is then used for invoicing and inventory valuation.

For companies that handle both standard products with fixed weights (Trade Units) and natural products with variable weights (Catch Weight), braintec offers a flexible solution for Odoo.

Both product types can be managed in Odoo simultaneously. The crucial rule is that only one of the two logics is activated per business area (Operating Unit) to avoid data conflicts.

This ensures maximum flexibility and scalability for companies with different product lines, especially during growth or the integration of new companies.
