# Stock Picking Volume From Packaging

This modules improves the way the volume is computed on a stock.move by taking into account the volume of the potential product packaging that can be picked to fulfill the move.

The potential packaging that can be picked for a move are computed by the module stock_packaging_calculator. Thanks to this module we can compute the best distribution of the packaging to uses to fulfill a specific quantity of a product. (This information is important for the picking operators to minimize the number of manipulations to do. Even if this information is not available into the Odoo UI, The Shopfloor addon takes advantage of it to propose the best picking strategy to the user).

By default the volume information is not available on the product packaging. Hopefully the module product_packaging_dimension provides this information.

Since the volume information is not a mandatory field on the product packaging when we ask for the best distribution of the packaging, packaging without volume information are ignored. In this way we ensure that the volume of the packaging is only taken into account when it’s relevant otherwise we fallback on the volume of the products.
