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 Solved:**
When you chain pricelists (Pricelist A → Pricelist B), standard 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%) ❌
**With this module (Total Margin Mode):**
Calculate the **total margin** by summing percentages:
* Base price: 4.68€
* Total margin: -5% + 25% = 20%
* **Markup (on cost):** 4.68 × 1.20 = 5.616€ ✅
* **Commercial Margin (on PVP):** 4.68 / 0.80 = 5.85€ ✅
**Key Features:**
* ✅ **Additive margin calculation** across chained pricelists
* ✅ **Two calculation methods:** Markup (on cost) or Commercial Margin (on PVP)
* ✅ **Global min/max margin limits** with independent calculation type
* ✅ **Opt-in via checkbox** - doesn't affect existing pricelists
* ✅ **Compatible with custom bases** (e.g., last_purchase_price)
* ✅ **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
============
To install this module, you need to:
#. Ensure dependencies are installed:
* product
* product_price_category
* product_sale_price_from_pricelist
#. Update the Apps list
#. Search for "Product Pricelist Total Margin"
#. Click Install
#. Restart Odoo service
Configuration
=============
**Step 1: Create Base Pricelist**
Create a pricelist that defines your base pricing logic:
#. Go to Sales → Configuration → Pricelists
#. Create a new pricelist: "Base Pricelist - Last Purchase Price"
#. Add a rule:
* **Apply On:** All Products
* **Based on:** Last Purchase Price (or List Price, Standard Price, etc.)
* **Price Computation:** Formula
* **Discount:** 5% (example for "cesta básica" category)
**Step 2: Create Chained Pricelist with Total Margin**
#. Create a new pricelist: "Category Margin - Your Category"
#. Add a rule:
* **Apply On:** All Products (or specific category)
* **Based on:** Other Pricelist → Select your base pricelist
* **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:
#. Go to Settings → Sales → Total Margin Limits
#. 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
* **Commercial Margin (on PVP)**
**Important:** The global limits calculation method is independent from individual pricelist items.
**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
=====
**Scenario: Cooperative Pricing System**
Your cooperative has two margin rules:
#. **Price Category Discount:** "Cesta Básica" products get -5% (to make them affordable)
#. **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
**Monitoring and Debugging:**
* Enable debug mode to see detailed price calculation logs
* Check logs for [TOTAL_MARGIN] tagged messages
* Verify total margin calculations match expectations
* Use global limits to enforce business rules
