1) Definition
1.1 What are Variations
Variations are attributes that differentiate products from one another. For example, a T-shirt can have variations such as size and color. Each combination of these attributes creates a unique product variant. In Odoo, managing variations with different prices requires an additional plugin.
1.2 Considerations for Adding Variants
Odoo has no maximum limit for the number of possible variants per product. However, there is an upper limit of 1000 variants per batch.
2) How to Set Up Odoo for Variations with Different Prices
You will need to install an additional plugin to handle different prices for product variations in Odoo.
