Most Odoo users don’t realize how much time they lose on a single friction point: adjusting product quantities. By default, Odoo forces cashiers to either:
– Type numbers manually (error-prone under pressure),
– Or open a full numpad that covers half the order screen, forcing them to scroll or guess what’s hidden.
That’s why I helped develop and now recommend the cst_pos_orderline_qty_numpad module—a lightweight, open-licensed solution that adds intuitive + / – buttons directly on each order line. No more hidden menus. No more typos. Just one-click quantity control.
In busy retail environments, every second counts. Adjusting product quantities in Odoo POS using the default method, typing numbers, or navigating through extra steps, can slow down operations.
The Odoo POS Order line Quantity Numpad module solves this problem by allowing cashiers to increase or decrease product quantities directly from the order line, making checkout faster and easier.
Key Features Odoo POS Numpad
1. Quick Quantity Adjustment
Easily increase or decrease product quantity directly from the order line using “+” or “–” buttons; no need to open the numpad or navigate through extra menus.
2. Auto-Delete When Quantity Reaches Zero
When the quantity of a product becomes zero, the “–” button automatically changes to a delete icon, allowing instant removal of the product from the order line.
3. Toggle Numpad Display
When multiple products are added to the cart, the numpad often hides part of the order line. This module adds a numpad show/hide toggle button, so cashiers can manage visibility easily for a better user experience.
4. Shop-Wise Configuration
Each POS shop can have different feature settings. Admins can enable or disable specific features (like numpad toggle or auto-delete) per shop, providing full flexibility.
5. Faster Checkout & Better Usability
By reducing the number of clicks and screen transitions, cashiers can serve customers faster, making the checkout experience smoother and more efficient.
How Odoo POS Numpad Works
1. Install the module from the Odoo App Store.
2. Open your POS session.
3. Add a product to the order line.
4. Use the “+” and “–” buttons to adjust quantity directly.
5. When quantity hits zero, the item automatically disappears from the order line.
6. Use the up/down toggle button to hide or show the numpad anytime.
This simple yet powerful workflow saves time and minimises mistakes.
Real-World Flexibility: Configured for Business
Unlike generic add-ons, this module respects real-world complexity:
– 1.Auto-delete at zero:
The “–” button becomes a trash icon when quantity hits zero—no accidental zeros left in orders.
– 2.Numpad toggle:
A small up/down arrow lets users hide the numpad when it blocks the order—critical for small tablets.
– 3.Per-shop settings:
Enable auto-delete in your café but disable it in your warehouse pickup counter. Full control, zero code.
