The need
In standard Odoo the quotation PDF prints the unit after every quantity: « 12.00 Units », « 7.50 kg », « 2.00 Dozens ». The customer reads a crowded column and, on a line sold by the dozen, has to match quantity and price to check the amount. On top of that, terms and payment conditions take up the same text size as the lines.
What the module does
The module only changes the « Quotation / Order » print template, which the pro forma invoice also uses. When printed, the Quantity column shows the number alone. A line entered in another unit than the product's is converted: 2 dozen at 55.68 print as 24 at 4.64, for the same 111.36 amount. The order's terms and conditions and the payment terms note are printed in small type. Inside Odoo, the order keeps its units and prices as entered.
What you gain
Quantities without units
The PDF no longer prints « Units », « kg » or « Hours » after quantities. Lines stay aligned and easier to read.
Conversion into the product unit
A line sold by the dozen for a product managed by the unit prints in units with the price of one unit. The customer gets the amount back by multiplying quantity by price.
Terms in small print
Terms and conditions and payment terms are printed in a small font on every paragraph, whether the terms are text or a link to your website.
Pro forma included
The pro forma invoice uses the same template as the quotation, so it gets the same changes with no extra setting.
Your data untouched
Only the printout changes. Order lines, deliveries and invoices keep their units of measure in Odoo.

Frequently asked questions
No. Only the PDF changes. Inside Odoo the line keeps its unit on screen, in deliveries and in invoices.
The printed amount is the line amount. Only the converted unit price is rounded: 100.00 per dozen prints as 8.33 per unit while 12 x 8.33 makes 99.96.
No. The quotation page in the portal uses another template and keeps its units. Invoices and delivery slips do not change either.
No. The module works in Community as well as Enterprise, with the Sales app alone.
The module builds on the standard template. If another module redraws the same columns, check the preview after installation.
Uninstall the module. The standard template comes back at once and there is no data to fix.
Scope
The module acts on the PDF of quotations, sales orders and pro forma invoices. Everything else in Odoo keeps working as standard.
