Context

By default, when selling a kit, the important components of the kit can not be changed (the column product is readonly).

With this module, a button on the sale order allows to open a wizard. This wizard allows to select a different variant (related to the same product template).

Module Name

This module was first developed in the context of a rental sale order.

However, this module is completely unrelated to the concept of a rental. This was a conceptual error when initialy developing the module.

A kit can be sold in a normal sale order. The concept of an important component remains the same.

Configuration

• I open a type Kit product. In the configuration of the Kit, I have a new option to

  "Change the Variant".

• This option is only available for products which are important.
• I check this option.

Use

• I create a sale order with a kit product that contains a product for which

  Variant Change is enabled.

• I confirm the SO. A new button appears next to Kit component's product.

  If I click on it, a wizard opens.

• The wizard only allows me to choose another product variant of the same

  product template.

• I confirm the change of Variant in the wizard.
• The article has been changed on my SO line.

• If I go to the related pickings (delivery, reception), the article has also been

  changed.

Constraints:

• Product Variant change is not possible if related goods movements have already been

  confirmed.

• If, for example, my Variant Change product has been delivered and I try to change

  the variant, I get the following blocking error message:

Allow Changing Product

Since version 1.2.0 of the module, it is possible to allow swapping an important component with a different product (instead of only swapping to a different variant).
