# Product Pricelist Total Margin ## Overview This module solves the problem of **compounded margins** when using chained pricelists in Odoo. By default, Odoo applies each pricelist rule's margin on top of the previous result, leading to compounded percentages. This module provides an option to calculate margins **additively** instead. ## Problem Description ### Standard Odoo Behavior (Compound Margins) When you chain pricelists (Pricelist A → Pricelist B), Odoo applies margins in cascade: ``` Base price: 4.68€ Pricelist A: -5% discount → 4.68 × 0.95 = 4.446€ Pricelist B: 25% markup → 4.446 × 1.25 = 5.5575€ ``` **Result:** 5.56€ (effective margin: 18.8%) ### Desired Behavior (Total/Additive Margins) With this module, you can calculate the **total margin** by summing percentages: #### Option 1: Markup (on cost) ``` Base price: 4.68€ Total margin: -5% + 25% = 20% Final price: 4.68 × 1.20 = 5.616€ Effective margin: (5.616 - 4.68) / 5.616 = 16.67% ``` **Result:** 5.62€ (20% markup on cost) #### Option 2: Commercial Margin (on PVP) ``` Base price: 4.68€ Total margin: -5% + 25% = 20% Final price: 4.68 / 0.80 = 5.85€ Effective margin: (5.85 - 4.68) / 5.85 = 20% ``` **Result:** 5.85€ (20% commercial margin on PVP) ## Features - ✅ **Additive margin calculation** across chained pricelists - ✅ **Two calculation methods per pricelist:** - **Markup (on cost):** `PVP = Cost × (1 + markup%)` - **Commercial Margin (on PVP):** `PVP = Cost / (1 - margin%)` - ✅ **Global min/max margin limits** with independent calculation type: - Configure minimum and maximum margin percentages - Choose between Markup or Commercial Margin interpretation for limits - Limits can use different calculation method than individual pricelists - ✅ **Opt-in via checkbox** - doesn't affect existing pricelists - ✅ **Compatible with custom bases** (`last_purchase_price` from `product_sale_price_from_pricelist`) - ✅ **Supports all formula extras** (price_round, price_surcharge, price_min/max_margin) - ✅ **Multi-level chains** - works with 2+ pricelists in sequence - ✅ **Currency conversion** - handles multi-currency scenarios - ✅ **Detailed logging** - debug pricing calculations easily ## Installation 1. **Install dependencies:** ```bash # Ensure these modules are installed: - product - product_price_category - product_sale_price_from_pricelist ``` 2. **Install module:** ```bash docker-compose exec odoo odoo -d odoo -u product_pricelist_total_margin --stop-after-init ``` 3. **Restart Odoo:** ```bash docker-compose restart odoo ``` ## Configuration ### Step 1: Create Base Pricelist Create a pricelist that defines your base pricing logic: 1. Go to **Sales > Configuration > Pricelists** 2. Create a new pricelist: "Base Pricelist - Last Purchase Price" 3. Add a rule: - **Apply On:** All Products - **Based on:** Last Purchase Price (or List Price, Standard Price, etc.) - **Price Computation:** Formula - **Discount:** 5% (for "cesta básica" category example) ### Step 2: Create Chained Pricelist Create a pricelist that chains to the base one: 1. Create a new pricelist: "Category Margin - Repostería" 2. Add a rule: - **Apply On:** All Products (or specific category) - **Based on:** Other Pricelist → Select "Base Pricelist - Last Purchase Price" - **Price Computation:** Formula - **Discount:** -25% (negative = 25% markup) - **☑️ Total Margin Mode:** Check this box! - **Calculation Method:** Choose between: - **Markup (on cost)** - Default, calculates `PVP = Cost × (1 + markup%)` - **Commercial Margin (on PVP)** - Calculates `PVP = Cost / (1 - margin%)` ### Step 3: Configure Global Limits (Optional) Set enterprise-wide minimum and maximum margins: 1. Go to **Settings > Sales > Total Margin Limits** 2. Configure: - **Minimum Margin (%):** E.g., 10% (no product can have less margin) - **Maximum Margin (%):** E.g., 50% (no product can have more margin) - **Calculation Method:** Choose how these percentages are interpreted: - **Markup (on cost)** - Default, `Min: Cost × 1.10`, `Max: Cost × 1.50` - **Commercial Margin (on PVP)** - `Min: Cost / 0.90`, `Max: Cost / 0.50` **Important:** The global limits calculation method is independent from individual pricelist items. You can have: - Items using Markup, with global limits as Commercial Margin - Items using Commercial Margin, with global limits as Markup - Both using the same method ### Step 4: Assign to Products - For automatic price calculation, configure the pricelist in **Settings > Sales > Automatic Price Configuration** - Or assign the pricelist to specific customers/partners ## Usage Example ### Scenario: Cooperative Pricing System Your cooperative has two margin rules: 1. **Price Category Discount:** "Cesta Básica" products get -5% (to make them affordable) 2. **Product Category Markup:** "Repostería" products get +25% (higher margin category) **Without this module (compound):** ``` Product: Flour (cesta básica, repostería) Purchase price: 4.68€ After price category (-5%): 4.446€ After product category (+25%): 5.5575€ ❌ Wrong effective margin: 18.8% ``` **With this module (total margin enabled):** ``` Product: Flour (cesta básica, repostería) Purchase price: 4.68€ Total margin: -5% + 25% = 20% Option 1 - Markup: Final price: 4.68 × 1.20 = 5.616€ ✅ Markup 20% on cost Option 2 - Commercial Margin: Final price: 4.68 / 0.80 = 5.85€ ✅ Margin 20% on PVP ``` **Which method to choose?** - **Markup (on cost):** Traditional markup calculation, margin on cost base - **Commercial Margin (on PVP):** Retail/commercial margin, ensures exact margin percentage on final price ## Technical Details ### New Fields - **Model:** `product.pricelist.item` #### `use_total_margin` (Boolean) - **Default:** False (opt-in) - **Visibility:** Only shown when: - `compute_price = 'formula'` - `base = 'pricelist'` (chained pricelist) - **Purpose:** Enable additive margin calculation instead of compound #### `margin_type` (Selection) - **Default:** `'markup'` - **Options:** - `'markup'` - Markup (on cost): `PVP = Cost × (1 + markup%)` - `'margin'` - Commercial Margin (on PVP): `PVP = Cost / (1 - margin%)` - **Visibility:** Only shown when `use_total_margin = True` - **Purpose:** Choose the calculation method for the total margin ### Global Configuration Fields - **Model:** `res.config.settings` #### `total_margin_min_percent` (Float) - **Default:** 0.0 (disabled) - **Purpose:** Minimum margin percentage for all products using Total Margin Mode - **Interpretation:** Depends on `global_margin_type` setting #### `total_margin_max_percent` (Float) - **Default:** 0.0 (disabled) - **Purpose:** Maximum margin percentage for all products using Total Margin Mode - **Interpretation:** Depends on `global_margin_type` setting #### `global_margin_type` (Selection) - **Default:** `'markup'` - **Options:** - `'markup'` - Limits are interpreted as markup on cost - `'margin'` - Limits are interpreted as commercial margin on PVP - **Purpose:** Define how min/max percentages are converted to prices - **Example:** Min 25%: - Markup: `Min Price = Cost × 1.25` - Commercial Margin: `Min Price = Cost / 0.75` (ensures 25% margin on final price) ### Methods #### `_get_base_price_and_margins(product, quantity, uom, date, currency)` Traverses the pricelist chain backwards to: 1. Find the original base price (before any margins) 2. Collect all margin percentages along the chain Returns: `(base_price: float, margins: list[float])` #### `_compute_original_base_price(item, product, quantity, uom, date, currency)` Computes the base price from the bottom item of the chain, supporting: - `last_purchase_price` (custom from `product_sale_price_from_pricelist`) - `list_price` (standard) - `standard_price` (cost) - Currency conversions #### `_apply_formula_extras(price, base_price, currency)` Applies additional formula options: - `price_round`: Round to nearest value - `price_surcharge`: Add fixed amount - `price_min_margin`: Enforce minimum margin - `price_max_margin`: Enforce maximum margin #### `_apply_global_margin_limits(price, base_price)` Enforces global minimum and maximum margins configured in Settings: 1. Reads `total_margin_min_percent`, `total_margin_max_percent`, and `global_margin_type` from configuration 2. Calculates min/max allowed prices based on `global_margin_type`: - **Markup:** `Price = Cost × (1 + margin%)` - **Commercial Margin:** `Price = Cost / (1 - margin%)` 3. Adjusts price if it falls outside configured limits 4. Returns adjusted price **Note:** Global limits are applied AFTER the item's margin calculation, and can use a different margin type than the item itself. **Example:** - Item calculates 15% markup → Price = 100 × 1.15 = 115€ - Global min is 20% commercial margin → Min Price = 100 / 0.80 = 125€ - Result: Price adjusted from 115€ to 125€ to meet global minimum #### `_compute_price(product, quantity, uom, date, currency)` [OVERRIDE] Main override that: 1. Checks if `use_total_margin=True` and conditions are met 2. Calls helper methods to get base price and margins 3. Sums margins additively: `total_margin = sum(margins)` 4. Applies total margin using item's selected method: - **Markup:** `price = base_price * (1 + total_margin / 100)` - **Commercial Margin:** `price = base_price / (1 - total_margin / 100)` 5. Applies global min/max margin limits (may use different margin type) 6. Applies formula extras 7. Falls back to standard behavior if conditions not met **Safety:** Commercial margin >= 100% is capped at 99% to avoid division by zero ### Logging All calculations are logged with `[TOTAL MARGIN]` prefix for easy debugging: ```python _logger.info("[TOTAL MARGIN] Item %s: base=%s, margin=%.2f%%", ...) _logger.info("[TOTAL MARGIN] Margins: ['5.0%', '25.0%'] = 20.0% total") # Markup method: _logger.info("[TOTAL MARGIN] Markup: Base 4.68 * (1 + 20.0%) = 5.616") # Commercial Margin method: _logger.info("[TOTAL MARGIN] Commercial Margin: Base 4.68 / (1 - 20.0%) = 5.85") ``` View logs: ```bash docker-compose logs -f odoo | grep "TOTAL MARGIN" ``` ## Testing ### Run Tests ```bash docker-compose run odoo odoo -d odoo --test-enable --stop-after-init -u product_pricelist_total_margin ``` ### Test Coverage - ✅ Compound margin (default behavior preserved) - ✅ Total margin with Markup calculation - ✅ Total margin with Commercial Margin calculation - ✅ Formula extras (round, surcharge, min/max) - ✅ Global min/max margin limits with Markup type - ✅ Global min/max margin limits with Commercial Margin type - ✅ Mixed margin types (item vs global with different types) - ✅ 3-level pricelist chains - ✅ Different base types (last_purchase_price, list_price) - ✅ Currency conversions **Total:** 13 tests, all passing ## Compatibility - **Odoo Version:** 18.0 - **Python Version:** 3.10+ - **Dependencies:** - `product` (core) - `product_price_category` (OCA) - `product_sale_price_from_pricelist` (custom) ## Limitations 1. **Only works with `compute_price='formula'`**: Fixed prices and percentage-based rules are not affected 2. **Circular references**: The module detects and breaks circular pricelist chains, but logs a warning 3. **Performance**: Traversing long pricelist chains may impact performance (though minimal in practice) ## Troubleshooting ### Margins still compound even with checkbox enabled **Check:** 1. Is `compute_price` set to "Formula"? 2. Is `base` set to "Other Pricelist"? 3. Is the checkbox actually checked and saved? 4. Check logs for `[TOTAL MARGIN]` entries to see if logic is being triggered ### Price is incorrect **Debug:** 1. Enable developer mode 2. Check logs: `docker-compose logs -f odoo | grep "TOTAL MARGIN"` 3. Verify: - Base price is correct - All margins are collected - Currency conversions are applied - Formula extras (round, surcharge) are expected ### Checkbox not visible **Possible causes:** - `compute_price` is not "Formula" (must be formula-based) - `base` is not "Other Pricelist" (no chain to traverse) - View not properly loaded (try reloading page or clearing browser cache) ## Development ### File Structure ``` product_pricelist_total_margin/ ├── __init__.py ├── __manifest__.py ├── README.md ├── models/ │ ├── __init__.py │ └── product_pricelist_item.py ├── tests/ │ ├── __init__.py │ └── test_total_margin.py └── views/ └── product_pricelist_item_views.xml ``` ### Contributing Follow OCA guidelines and project conventions defined in `.github/copilot-instructions.md`. ## License AGPL-3.0 or later ## Author **Kidekoop** - 2026 ## Changelog ### 18.0.1.2.0 (2026-02-21) - **[IMP]** Add `global_margin_type` field for independent global limits calculation - Configure how min/max percentages are interpreted (Markup or Commercial Margin) - Global limits can use different calculation method than individual pricelist items - Enables flexible business rules (e.g., items use Markup, global limits enforce Commercial Margin) - Refactor `_apply_global_margin_limits()` to work with prices instead of percentages - Now calculates min/max prices based on `global_margin_type` - Applied after item's margin calculation, not before - Add 2 new tests for global limits with Commercial Margin type - Update configuration UI with global margin type selector - Total: 13 tests passing ### 18.0.1.1.0 (2026-02-21) - **[IMP]** Add `margin_type` field to choose between calculation methods - **Markup (on cost):** `PVP = Cost × (1 + markup%)` - **Commercial Margin (on PVP):** `PVP = Cost / (1 - margin%)` - Add 2 new tests for both calculation methods - Add safety cap for commercial margin >= 100% (caps at 99%) - Improve logging to show which calculation method is used - Total: 11 tests passing ### 18.0.1.0.0 (2026-02-21) - Initial implementation - Support for additive margin calculation in chained pricelists - Compatible with `last_purchase_price` custom base - Global min/max margin limits configuration - Comprehensive test suite (9 tests) - Detailed logging for debugging
