Purpose
=======
Product attributes can be configured to create variants "on demand".
This means that product.templates having these attributes will only create product.product variant
when that combination is actually selected in a sale order/in the web shop.
Product attribute values are also improved to handle extra prices and exclusions
in all three modes ("never", "on demand", "always")
Specification
=============
Create variants on demand
- add a new mode to generate variants as they are added to the order/cart
(needed for big # of combinations managed in the inventory and/or produced in mrp with specific boms)
- replace the boolean by a selection radio
tooltip for this new field:
Always:
Variants are generated straight away when
the attribute values are combined in the product configuration.
Only when the product is added to a sales order:
Variants are generated once the combination is selected in the sales order.
This is advised when variants are customized on demand and manufactured as such in Odoo.
Never:
Advised when variants are not needed in Odoo.
The selected values just show up in the description of sales order lines.
- ability to define attribute extra prices & exclude combinations in all variant modes
- if at least one attribute of the product in set to "on demand" mode, generate all the variants "on demand"
