Before getting into detail about how to use product variants on quotations and sales orders, it's recommended to learn about [Product variants](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/vendas/variantes-do-produto/) in Odoo.

Once familiarized with the basics surrounding product variants, the following covers how product variants can be added to quotations and sales orders using the *product configurator* or *order grid entry*.

Note

It should be noted that the setting is titled, *Variant Grid Entry* on the *Sales* app settings page, and titled, *Order Grid Entry* on product forms. So, be sure to keep that in mind.

## Settings

When working with product variants, Odoo uses the product configurator, by default. To add the variant grid entry option, that feature **must** be enabled in the Odoo *Sales* application. The variant grid entry option provides a pop-up window on the quotation/sales order to simplify the variant selection process.

To enable that setting, go to **Sales app -> Configuration -> Settings**, and scroll to the **Product Catalog** section. Then, check the box next to the **Variant Grid Entry** option, and click **Save**.

Note

Of course, the **Variants** feature **must** also be activated, in order to use product variants on quotations and sales orders.

## Product configuration

Once the **Variant Grid Entry** setting is enabled, both options (*Product Configurator* and *Order Grid Entry*) become available on every product form.

To configure a product form to use either a product configurator or variant grid entry, start by navigating to **Sales app -> Products -> Products** to view all the products in the database.

Then, select the desired product to configure, or click **New**, to create a new product from scratch. Once on the product form, click into the **Attributes & Variants** tab, where product variants can be viewed, modified, and added.

At the bottom of the **Attributes & Variants** tab, there is a **Sales Variant Selection** section with two options: **Product Configurator** and **Order Grid Entry**.

Note

It should be noted that these options **only** appear if at least two values of an attribute have been added to the record.

These options determine which method is used when adding product variants to quotations or sales orders.

The **Product Configurator** provides a pop-up window that neatly displays all the available product variants for that particular product when it's added to a quotation. However, only one variant can be selected/added at a time.

The **Order Grid Entry** provides the same information as the **Product Configurator** in a table layout, allowing the user to select larger numbers of unique product variants, and add them to a quotation/sales order, in a single view.

## Product configurator

The product configurator feature appears as a **Configure** pop-up window, as soon as a product with (at least two) variants is added to a quotation or sales order, but **only** if the **Product Configurator** option is selected on its product form.

Note

This **Configure** pop-up window also appears if the **Order Grid Entry** setting is **not** activated, as it is the default option Odoo uses when dealing with product variants on quotations and/or sales orders.

The **Product Configurator** option lets salespeople choose exactly which product variant to add to the quotation or sales order using a format similar to online shopping.

## Order grid entry

The order grid entry feature appears as a **Choose Product Variants** pop-up window, as soon as a product with (at least two) variants is added to a quotation or sales order, but **only** if the **Order Grid Entry** option is selected on its product form.

The **Choose Product Variants** pop-up window features all the variant options for that particular product. From this pop-up window, the salesperson can designate how many of each variant they'd like to add to the quotation/sales order at once.

When all the desired quantities and variants have been selected, the salesperson simply clicks **Confirm**, and those orders are instantly added to the quotation/sales order in the **Order Lines** tab.
