What it does
- The Product Dimensions module provides the ability to manage product dimensions (Width, Height, Length) and the Stowage Factor (SF) for both products and product variants. This feature helps calculate cargo volume and optimize the use of transport vehicles or warehouse space.
- This module can be used independently or integrated with other applications, such as to_fleet_stock_picking, to control the weight and volume of goods during transportation, ensuring compliance with vehicle load limits.
Key Features
- Allows defining product dimensions: Width, Height, Length, and Stowage Factor (SF).
- Supports cargo volume calculation based on dimension data.
- Applicable to both main products and product variants.
- Directly integrates into the product interface, enabling users to easily view and manage dimensions in daily operations.
- Dimension fields are only visible for products classified as Stockable or Consumable.
Benefits
- Optimized storage space, enabling businesses to utilize warehouse space more efficiently, avoiding waste or shortages in storage capacity.
- Enhanced transportation planning, supporting businesses in accurate cargo allocation, reducing costs incurred due to inappropriate vehicle use.
- Minimized operational errors, thanks to accurate dimension data availability, reducing issues such as warehouse overloading, improper stacking, or unexpected costs due to miscalculations.

Instruction
Instruction video: Product Dimensions
1. Configure product dimensions (Width, Length, Height) and Stowage Factor (SF)
For Consumable or Storable products, some new fields to define product dimensions will be displayed on the Inventory tab. Based on that, the product Volume and Stowage Volume will be automatically computed accordingly.
In which: Stowage Volume = Volume x Stowage Volume
Besides, this module also combines these dimensions with the product's name, making it easy to distinguish and quickly select the right product during the purchase, sales, warehouse management, etc.
Note: This feature is also applied to product variants.
2. Integrate with the to_fleet_stock_picking module in product loading for transportation.
When loading products into a vehicle, a warning will pop up if the total product weight exceeds the volume/capacity of the vehicle used for transportation.
