3. Stocks by Locations

Salespersons and warehouse managers mostly work with a single location. Staff from Madrid would hardly make quotations for clients from Berlin. That is why aggregated Odoo stocks levels are awkward to use. Surely, you might push a few buttons, apply groupings and filters to retrieve required product information. However, is it comfortable? Hardly. Moreover, it is confusing since sudden misunderstanding leads to inexecutable promises. So, you need a tool to provide essential inventory data at a glance, but to keep details by locations easy-reach and clear. Here it comes!

User Default Warehouse

The tool makes it possible to link users and warehouses to which they are working (their ‘default warehouse’). Sales order delivery is planned from a warehouse of its salespersons. This warehouse is changed each time as a salesperson is changed.

At a glance on products, users observe only the inventories which are essential for them. So, Odoo stock levels are calculated for your warehouse.

 

Expandable locations’ hierarchy

For details look at the hierarchy of stocks. On opening, the hierarchy introduces 3 levels. Hence, you retrieve data fast and comfortably.

Locations without products on hand or without products planned are excluded to provide a clearer picture.

 

Inventory for product variants, templates and sale lines

Users might work both with product variants and product templates. Get an overview of quantity on hand, forecast quantity, incoming and outgoing quantity number per each internal location.

Sales managers might also get an instant outlook of inventory levels right from a sales line in a single click.

  1. The virtual stock of the product is 0
    => It will act exactly like the make to order route.
  2. The virtual stock is equal to the quantity ordered
    => It will act exactly like a make to stock route
  3. The virtual stock is more than 0 but less than ordered quantity
    => On part of the products will be taken from stock and a purchase order
    will be created for the rest. So it will act like both make to order and make to stock rule.

This app allows creation of stock reservations on products. Each reservation can have a validity date, once passed, the reservation is automatically lifted. The reserved products are subtracted from the virtual stock. It means that if you reserved a quantity of products which bring the virtual stock below the minimum, the orderpoint will be triggered and new purchase orders will be generated. It also implies that the max may be exceeded if the reservations are canceled.

If ownership of stock is active in the stock settings, you can specify the owner on the reservation.
