Enhancements to existing features
Product packaging is now managed more consistently across sales, stock, purchase, and delivery workflows, including support for variant-specific packaging and packaging barcodes. Delivery carrier information is propagated earlier in warehouse flows, helping packing teams choose the right package type while avoiding unnecessary carrier calls.
This change improves Odoo's configuration flow by allowing settings to be applied programmatically without requiring users to go through the setup wizard. It also includes a collection of fixes and translation updates across accounting, inventory, manufacturing, website quotes, and payment areas, reducing errors and improving day-to-day reliability.
