Hi everyone,


I’m working with Odoo 19 and I’ve run into some limitations regarding Storage Categories and package type capacities.


Requirement 1: Restrict specific package types

In storage categories, I define capacities per package type.

What I need:

  • Ability to explicitly forbid certain package types from a location
  • Ideally something like:

    • Setting quantity = 0 → meaning “this package type is not allowed”

Example:

  • A shelf should accept only specific pallet types
  • Any other package type (or no package at all) should be rejected

Requirement 2: Shared capacity across package types

I have locations that can store:

  • Only 1 pallet total, regardless of its type (height)

Example:

  • Pallet types: 1.40m, 1.50m, 1.90m

What I need:

  • The location should allow:

    • Either 1 pallet of type A
    • Or 1 pallet of type B
    • But not both at the same time

Any guidance, design patterns, or real implementations would be very helpful.

Hi,

Requirement 1: Forbid package types

Add forbidden_package_type_ids M2M to stock.storage.category, then in _get_putaway_strategy() return empty location if incoming package type is in that list.

Requirement 2: Shared capacity

Add max_shared_packages integer to stock.storage.category, then in _get_putaway_strategy() do a search_count on stock.quant.package for that location — if count ≥ max, return empty location (fallback to parent).
Both fixes intercept at putaway suggestion level. For hard blocking (prevent manual override), add @api.constrains on stock.move.line doing the same check on location_dest_id.

Hope it helps
