msgid "If you manage multiple locations, scan the location before scanning the products. Eg. scan a shelf's barcode ; scan each product on the shelf ; repeat for each shelf in the wharehouse."
msgid "There are two approaches to process delivery orders: you can either work on printed documents (and scan lines on the documents), or on a screen (and scan products directly)."
msgid "Once you start processing your delivery orders, **scan the barcode** on the top-right corner of the document to load the right record on the screen."
msgid "Then, **scan the barcode** of every product, or scan the barcode of the product on the picking line if the barcode on the product is not easily accessible, visible or is missing."
msgid "On the opposite, a **serial number** is unique, and represented by only one barcode, sticked on only one item. This means that Odoo won't accept scanning the same serial number more than once per operation."
msgid "There are two approaches to process incoming receipts: you can either work on printed documents (and scan lines on the documents), or on a screen (and scan products directly)."
msgid "Once you start processing your incoming receipts, scan the barcode on the top-right corner of the document to load the right record on the screen."
msgid "Then, scan the barcode of every product, or scan the barcode of the product on the picking line if the barcode on the product is not easily accessible, visible or is missing."
msgid "Getting started with barcode scanning in Odoo is fairly easy. Yet, a good user experience relies on an appropriate hardware setup. This guide will help you through the task of choosing and configuring the barcode scanner."
msgid "The 3 recommended type of barcode scanners to work with the Odoo **Inventory** and **Barcode Scanning** apps are the **USB scanner**, **the bluetooth scanner** and the **mobile computer scanner**."
msgid "If you scan products at a computer location, the **USB scanner** is the way to go. Simply plug it in the computer to start scanning. Just make sure when you buy it that the scanner is compatible with your keyboard layout or can be configured to be so."
msgid "The **bluetooth scanner** can be paired with a smartphone or a tablet and is a good choice if you want to be mobile but don't need a big investment. An approach is to log in Odoo on you smartphone, pair the bluetooth scanner with the smartphone and work in the warehouse with the possibility to check your smartphone from time to time and use the software 'manually'."
msgid "For heavy use, the **mobile computer scanner** is the handiest solution. It consists of a small computer with a built-in barcode scanner. This one can turn out to be a very productive solution, however you need to make sure that is is capable of running Odoo smoothly. The most recent models using Android + Google Chrome or Windows + Internet Explorer Mobile should do the job. However, due to the variety of models and configurations on the market, it is essential to test it first."
msgid "An USB barcode scanner needs to be configured to use the same keyboard layout as your operating system. Otherwise, your scanner won't translate characters correctly (replacing a 'A' with a 'Q' for example). Most scanners are configured by scanning the appropriate barcode in the user manual."
msgid "By default, Odoo has a 50 milliseconds delay between each successive scan (it helps avoid accidental double scanning). If you want to suppress this delay, you can configure your scanner to insert a carriage return at the end of each barcode. This is usually the default configuration and can be explicitly configured by scanning a specific barcode in the user manual ('CR suffix ON', 'Apply Enter for suffix', etc.)."
msgid "The barcode scanning features can save you a lot of the time usually lost switching between the keyboard, the mouse and the scanner. Properly attributing barcodes to products, pickings locations, etc. allows you to work more efficiently by controlling the software almost exclusively with the barcode scanner."
msgid "In order to fill a picking or to perform an inventory, you need to make sure that your products are encoded in Odoo along with their barcodes. If this is not already done, you can fill in the products barcodes through a handy interface. Go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings` and click :menuselection:`Operations --> Barcode Scanner`. Click Save, and go back into the previous screen to click Configure Product Barcodes. This interface can also be accessed via the planner."
msgid "Product variants: be careful to add barcodes directly on the variant, and not the template product (otherwise you won't be able to differentiate them)."
msgid "If you manage multiple locations, you will find useful to attribute a barcode to each location and stick it on the location. You can configure the locations barcodes in :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Warehouse Management --> Locations`. There is button in the **Print** menu that you can use to print the locations names and barcodes. There are 4 barcodes per page, arranged in a way that is convenient to print on sticker paper."
msgid "Most retail products use EAN-13 barcodes. They cannot be made up without proper authorization: you must pay the International Article Numbering Association a fee in exchange for an EAN code sequence (that's why no two products in a store will ever have the same EAN code)."
msgid "Once your products have been defined, it is time to make your initial inventory. You will reflect reality by inventorying the right quantities in the right locations."
msgid "In the Inventory module, open the :menuselection:`Inventory Control --> Products`, then click on **Create** to create a new product. Configure the product type so that it is **Stockable** and not a consumable."
msgid "Now, if you check the **Inventory Adjustments** in the **Inventory Control** menu, you will see that a new line named \"INV: (name of your product)\" has automatically been created and validated by the system."
msgid "Create all the products for which you want to follow the stock (as stockable products). Once the required products in stock have been defined, use an initial inventory operation to put the current quantities into the system by location. Go to :menuselection:`Inventory Control --> Inventory Adjustments` to start your initial inventory."
msgid "Give it a name (for example Initial Inventory) and select the stock location of your inventory. Note that when you select a parent location (such as Stock, which might be split into sub locations), you can also select the sub (or child) locations."
msgid "If you need your stock valuation to be done in a different period than the one that will be selected by default according to the inventory end date, enter the corresponding accounting period in the Force Valuation Period field. The accounting module needs to be installed."
msgid "Click the **Start Inventory** button. Depending on the type of inventory you have chosen (all products or selected ones) you might have to add products manually by clicking on **Add an item**."
msgid "**Minimum Stock rules** and **Make to Order** have similar consequences but different rules. They should be used depending on your manufacturing and delivery strategies."
msgid "**Minimum Stock** rules are used to ensure that you always have the minimum amount of a product in stock in order to manufacture your products and/or answer to your customer needs. When the stock level of a product reaches its minimum the system will automatically generate a procurement with the quantity needed to reach the maximum stock level."
msgid "The **Make to Order** function will trigger a **Purchase Order** of the amount of the **Sales Order** related to the product. The system will **not** check the current stock valuation. This means that a draft purchase order will be generated regardless of the quantity on hand of the product."
msgid "The Minimum Stock Rules configuration is available through the menu :menuselection:`Inventory --> Inventory Control --> Reordering Rule` in the drop down menu. There, click on **Create** to set minimum and maximum stock values for a given product."
msgid "Moves created through this orderpoint will be put in this procurement group. If none is given, the moves generated by stock rules will be grouped into one big picking."
msgid "When the virtual stock goes below the Min Quantity specified for this field, Odoo generates a procurement to bring the forecasted quantity to the Max Quantity."
msgid "When the virtual stock goes below the Min Quantity, Odoo generates a procurement to bring the forecasted quantity to the Quantity specified as Max Quantity."
msgid "Don't forget to select the right product type in the product form. A consumable can not be stocked and will thus not be accounted for in the stock valuation."
msgid "The Make to Order configuration is available on your product form through your :menuselection:`Inventory module --> Inventory control --> Products` (or any other module where products are available)."
msgid "The choice between the two options is thus dependent of your inventory strategy. If you prefer to have a buffer and always have at least a minimum amount, the minimum stock rule should be used. If you want to reorder your stocks only if your sale is confirmed it is better to use the Make to Order."
msgid "When you plan to deliver a customer, you don’t know in advance if the products will come from Warehouse A or Warehouse B. You may, in some cases, need to take stock from different warehouses. With *Odoo*, you can configure this by using the concept of virtual warehouses. Let us show you how to set those virtual warehouses."
msgid "Let’s say you have two warehouses: Warehouse A and Warehouse B. Create a new warehouse, that will be a virtual one. It will allow you to take the stock from A or B. To do so, go to your inventory app settings and enable the multi-warehouses feature. Then, go to the warehouses menu and click on create."
msgid "Now, you have to make sure that the main stock locations of warehouse A and warehouse B are children locations of the main stock location of warehouse A + B. Go to the locations menu, and edit the main location of your two warehouses. Then, change their parent location to main location of warehouse A+B."
msgid "Let’s say you have two products, one stored in warehouse A and one stored in warehouse B. Now, you can create a new quotation for one of each product. Go to other information and choose Warehouse A+B in the shipping information."
msgid "Once you have done it, you can convert it to a sales order. Then, a delivery order will be automatically generated, with a product reserved in warehouse A and one in warehouse B."
msgid "Odoo gives you the possibility to cancel a delivery method whether it has been validated to fast, it needs to be modified or for any other reason."
msgid "Some carriers are more flexible than others, so make sure to cancel your delivery order as fast as possible if it needs to be done so you don't have any bad surprise."
msgid "Now, click on the **Additional info** tab and you will see that next to the **Carrier Tracking Reference**, there is a **Cancel** button. Click on it to cancel the delivery."
msgid "If you go to the website, and you try to buy something, once you've entered your details and you proceed to the payment, the website will propose you only the delivery methods that apply to your shipping address."
msgid "This process doesn't work in backend. We assume that when you create a Sale Order, you know which delivery method you can use since you created them."
msgid "Drop-Shipping is a system that allows orders taken from your store to be shipped straight from your supplier to your customer. On a usual delivery system, products are sent from your supplier to your warehouse to be put in stock, and then shipped to your customers after ordering. With drop-shipping, no item is stocked. When a customer places an order in your shop, the item is delivered straight from the supplier to the customer. Therefore, the product doesn't need to get through your warehouse."
msgid "Use drop-shipping only for the products you can't or don't want to keep in stock. One reason is that you'll always make smaller margins on items that are drop-shipped, so you should keep it only for items that take up a lot of space in your warehouse."
msgid "Drop-shipping is best for niche products. Chances are that products that are in high demand are being offered by large suppliers at a fraction of the price you'll be able to charge, so using a more costly shipping method won't be financially rewarding. But if your product is unique, then it makes sense!"
msgid "Make sure time is not against you. Drop-shipping should take a reasonable amount of time and surely not more than it would have taken you to handle it all by yourself. It's also nice to be able to provide your customers with a tracking number."
msgid "Items have to be available from your supplier. It's good to know if the product you're selling is available upstream. If you don't have that information, inform your customers that you don't hold the item in stock and that it's subject to availability from a third party."
msgid "For more information and insights on Drop-shipping, read our blog on `What is drop-shipping and how to use it <https://www.odoo.com/blog/business-hacks-1/post/what-is-drop-shipping-and-how-to-use-it-250>`__."
msgid "Open the menu :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings`. Go to **Location & Warehouse**, locate the **Dropshipping** option and tick the box **Allow suppliers to deliver directly to your customers**. Then, click on **Apply**."
msgid "Then go to the menu :menuselection:`Sales --> Configuration --> Settings`. Locate **Order Routing** and tick the box **Choose specific routes on sales order lines (advanced)**. Click on **Apply**."
msgid "Open the menu :menuselection:`Purchases --> Purchases --> Requests for Quotation`. The draft purchase order is automatically created from the procurement with the drop-shipping route. Once the order is confirmed, you will see that one shipment has been created."
msgid "To confirm the sending from the vendor to the customer, go back to **Inventory** app. On the dashboard, click on **# TO RECEIVE** on the dropship card."
msgid "It will open the list of drop-shipping transfers. Validate the transfer once it has been done. The items will be directly delivered from the partner to the customer without transiting to your warehouse."
msgid "Depending on factors such as the type of items you sell, the size of your warehouse, the number of orders you register everyday... the way you handle deliveries to your customers can vary a lot."
msgid "For companies having a rather small warehouse and that do not require high stock of items or don't sell perishable items, a one step shipping is the simplest solution, as it does not require a lot of configuration and allows to handle orders very quickly."
msgid "Using inventory methods such as FIFO, LIFO and FEFO require to have at least two steps to handle a shipment. The picking method will be determined by the removal strategy, and the items removed will then be shipped to the customer. This method is also interesting if you hold larger stocks and especially when the items you stock are big in size."
msgid "The three steps system becomes useful in more specific situations, the main one being for handling very large stocks. The items are transferred to a packing area, where they will be assembled by area of destination, and then set to outbound trucks for final delivery to the customers."
msgid "With Odoo, you can choose among different types of labels for your delivery orders. Follow the steps below and give an appropriate label type to your delivery."
msgid "In the **Pricing** tab, under **Fedex label stock type**, you can choose one of the label types available. The availability will vary depending on the carrier."
msgid "As you confirm the sale and validate the delivery with the carrier for which you have modified the label type, The label will appear in your history."
msgid "When an order goes to the shipping department for final delivery, Odoo is set up by default to utilize a one-step operation: once all goods are available, they are able to be shipped in a single delivery order."
msgid "However, if **advance routes** is activated and you set another shipping configuration on your warehouse, you can set it back to the one-step delivery configuration. Go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Warehouses` and edit the concerned warehouse."
msgid "This has completed the **Shipping Step** and the WH/OUT should now show **Done** in the status column at the top of the page, which means the product has been shipped to the customer."
msgid "Odoo gives you the possibility to change the default packaging type and adapt the packaging the way you want it, depending on the weight of the order."
msgid "In the **Operations** tab, in the last column, change the **0** and put the number of products that you want to pack together. Then click on **Put in Pack**."
msgid "Choose the type of packaging that you want. You can also see that the weight has been adapted to your package, and you can change it manually if you want it to be more precise. Then click on **Save**."
msgid "Scheduled dates are computed in order to be able to plan deliveries, receptions and so on. Depending on the habits of your company Odoo automatically generates scheduled dates via the scheduler. The Odoo scheduler computes everything per line, whether it's a manufacturing order, a delivery order, a sale order, etc. The dates that are computed are dependent on the different leads times configured in Odoo."
msgid "Configuring **lead times** is a first essential move in order to compute scheduled dates. Lead times are the delays (in term of delivery, manufacturing, ...) promised to your different partners and/or clients."
msgid "Is the time needed for the supplier to deliver your purchased product. To configure the supplier lead time select a product, and go in the **Inventory** tab. You will have to add a vendor to your product in order to select a supplier lead time."
msgid "Once a vendor is selected, just open its form and fill its **Delivery lead time**. In this case security days have no influence, the scheduled delivery days will be equal to: **Date** of the purchase order + **Delivery Lead Time**."
msgid "Customer lead time is the time needed to get your product from your store / warehouse to your customer. It can be configured for any product. Simply select a product, go into the sales tab and indicate your **Customer lead time**."
msgid "At the same page it is possible to configure the **Manufacturing Lead Time** as well. Manufacturing lead time is the time needed to manufacture the product."
msgid "At company level, it is possible to configure **security days** in order to cope with eventual delays and to be sure to meet your engagements. The idea is to subtract **backup** days from the **computed scheduled date** in case of delays."
msgid "Sales safety days are **back-up** days to ensure you will be able to deliver your clients engagements in times. They are margins of errors for delivery lead times. Security days are the same logic as the early wristwatch, in order to arrive on time. The idea is to subtract the numbers of security days from the calculation and thus to compute a scheduled date earlier than the one you promised to your client. In that way you are sure to be able to keep your commitment."
msgid "They are margins of error for vendor lead times. When the system generates purchase orders for procuring products, they will be scheduled that many days earlier to cope with unexpected vendor delays. Purchase lead time can be found in the same menu as the sales safety days"
msgid "Odoo offers the possibility to select a requested date by the client by indicating the date in the other information tab of the sales order. If this date is earlier than the theoreticaly computed date odoo will automatically display a warning."
msgid "As an example, you may sell a car today (January 1st), that is purchased on order, and you promise to deliver your customer within 20 days (January 20). In such a scenario, the scheduler may trigger the following events, based on your configuration:"
msgid "When an order goes to the shipping department for final delivery, Odoo is set up by default on a **one-step** operation: once all goods are available, they can be shipped in bulk in a single delivery order. However, that process may not reflect the reality and your company may require more steps before shipping."
msgid "With the **three steps** process (**Pick + Pack + Ship**), the items are transferred to a packing area, where they will be assembled by area of destination, and then set to outbound trucks for final delivery to the customers."
msgid "A few configuration steps are necessary in order to accomplish **Pick + Pack + Ship** in Odoo. These steps create some additional locations, which by default are called **Output** and **Packing Zone**. So, if your warehouse's code is ``WH``, this configuration will create a location called ``WH/Output`` and another one called ``WH/Packing Zone``."
msgid "Goods will move from **WH/Stock** to **WH/Packing Zone** in the first step. Then move from **WH/Packing Zone** to **WH/Output**. Then finally it will be delivered from **WH/Output** to its **final destination**."
msgid "Odoo configures movement of delivery orders via **routes**. Routes provide a mechanism to link different actions together. In this case, we will link the picking step to the shipping step."
msgid "Under :menuselection:`Location & Warehouse --> Routes`, activate the radio button **Advanced routing of products using rules**. Make sure that the option **Manage several locations per warehouse** is activated as well."
msgid "For outgoing shippings, set the option to **Make packages into a dedicated location, bring them to the output location for shipping (Pick + Pack + Ship).**"
msgid "This has completed the picking Step and the **WH/PICK** should now show **Done** in the status column at the top of the page. The product has been moved from **WH/Stock** to **WH/Packing Zone** location, which makes the product available for the next step (Packing)."
msgid "This has completed the packing step and the **WH/PACK** should now show **Done** in the status column at the top of the page. The product has been moved from **WH/Packing Zone** to **WH/Output location**, which makes the product available for the next step (Shipping)."
msgid "Click on **Validate** to complete the move from **WH/Output** to the **customer** (Click **Apply** to assign the quantities based on the quantities listed in the **To Do** column)."
msgid "This has completed the shipping step and the **WH/OUT** should now show **Done** in the status column at the top of the page. The product has been shipped to the customer."
msgid "When an order goes to the shipping department for final delivery, Odoo is set up by default to utilize a **one-step** operation: once all goods are available, they are able to be shipped in a single delivery order. However, your company's business process may have one or more steps that happen before shipping. In the **two steps** process, the items in a delivery order are **picked** in the warehouse and brought to an **output location** for **shipping**. The goods are then shipped."
msgid "In order to accomplish a **Pick + Ship** delivery in Odoo, there are a few necessary configuration steps. These steps create an additional location, which by default is called **Output**. So, if your warehouse's code is ``WH``, this configuration will create a location called ``WH/Output``. Goods will move from ``WH/Stock`` to ``WH/Output`` in the first step (picking). Then, they move from ``WH/Output`` to ``WH/Customers`` (in the case of sales orders) in the second step (shipping)."
msgid "Odoo configures movement of delivery orders via the **routes**. Routes provide a mechanism to chain different actions together. In this case, we will chain the picking step to the shipping step."
msgid "If you checked option **Advanced routing of products using rules** you may need to activate **Manage several locations per warehouse** if it wasn't activated beforehand."
msgid "If you click on the **2 Transfers** stat button, you should now see two different pickings, one with a reference **PICK** to designate the picking process and another with a reference **OUT** to designate the shipping process."
msgid "This has completed the picking step and the **WH/PICK** move should now show **Done** in the status column at the top of the page. The product has been moved from **WH/Stock** to **WH/Output** location, which makes the product **available for the next step** (Shipping)."
msgid "Click on **Validate** to complete the move from **WH/Output** to the customer (Click **Apply** to assign the quantities based on the quantities listed in the **To Do** column)"
msgid "This has completed the shipping step and the **WH/OUT** move should now show **Done** in the status column at the top of the page. The product has been shipped to the customer."
msgid "Depending on factors such as the type of items you receive, the size of your warehouse, the number of receipt you register everyday... the way you handle receipts to your customers can vary a lot."
msgid "Odoo uses **routes** to define exactly how you will handle the different receipt steps. The configuration is done at the level of the warehouse. In standard, the reception is a one step process, but changing the configuration can allow to have 2 or even 3 steps."
msgid "**Two steps**: You receive the goods in an input area then transfer them from input area to your stock. As long as the goods are not transferred in your stock, they will not be available for further processing."
msgid "**Three steps**: In many companies, it is necessary to assess the received good. The goal is to check that the products correspond to the quality requirements agreed with the suppliers. Adding a quality control step in the goods receipt process can become essential."
msgid "You receive the goods in an input area, then transfer them into quality area for quality control. When your quality check process finishes then you can move the goods from QC to stock. Of course, you may change the quantity and only transfer to Stock the quantity that is valid and decide that you will return the quantity that is not good."

msgid "Odoo uses routes to define exactly how you will handle the different receipt steps. The configuration is done at the level of the warehouse. By default, the reception is a one step process, but changing the configuration can allow to have 2 or even 3 steps."
msgid "The 3 steps flow is as follows: You receive the goods in an input area, then transfer them into quality area for quality control. When the quality check has been processed, you can move the goods from QC to stock. Of course, you may change the quantity and only transfer to stock the quantity that is valid and decide that you will return the quantity that is not good."
msgid "To add quality control before transfer goods into stock location, tick **Unload in input location, go through a quality control before being admitted in stock (3 steps)**."
msgid "In the **Purchase** app, create a **Request for Quotation**. Click on the **Confirm order** button. You can see that there is one **Shipment** related to purchase order in the stat button above the purchase order form view. This is the receipt step."
msgid "This has completed the receipt step and the status column at the top of the page for **WH/IN** should now show **Done**. The product has been moved from the **Vendor** to the **WH/Input** location, which makes the product available for the next step (Move to the quality control zone)"
msgid "Go to the **Inventory** dashboard. You will see that there is one transfer ready (the move to the quality control zone) and one waiting (the move to the stock after the control). Click on the link **# TRANSFERS** in the **Internal Transfers** to process the quality control."
msgid "This has completed the internal transfer step and the status column at the top of the page for **WH/INT** should now show **Done**. The receipt is now ready to be controlled."
msgid "Go back to the **Inventory** dashboard. The waiting transfer is now ready. Click on the link **# TRANSFERS** in the **Internal Transfers** card to process the quality control."

msgid "Go back to the **Inventory** dashboard. The waiting transfer is now ready. Click on the **# TRANSFERS** in the **Internal Transfers** to process the quality control."
msgid "In Odoo, lots and serial numbers have similarities in their functional system but are different in their behavior. They are both managed within the **Inventory**, **Purchases** and **Sales** app."
msgid "**Serial numbers** are identification numbers given to one product in particular, to allow to track the history of the item from reception to delivery and after-sales."
msgid "**Lots** are interesting for products you receive in great quantity and for which a lot number can help in reportings, quality controls, or any other info. Lots will help identify a number of pieces having for instance a production fault. It can be useful for a batch production of clothes or food."
msgid "**Serial numbers** are interesting for items that could require after-sales service, such as smartphones, laptops, fridges, and any electronic devices. You could use the manufacturer's serial number or your own, depending on the way you manage these products"
msgid "Storing consumable products such as kitchen roll, toilet paper, pens and paper blocks in lots would make no sense at all, as there are very few chances that you can return them for production fault."
msgid "On the other hand, giving a serial number to every product is a time-consuming task that will have a purpose only in the case of items that have a warranty and/or after-sales services. Putting a serial number on bread, for instance, makes no sense at all."
msgid "Lots are useful for products you receive in great quantity and for which a lot number can help in reportings, quality controls, or any other info. Lots will help identify a number of pieces having for instance a production fault. It can be useful for a batch production of clothes or food."
msgid "You need activate the tracking of lots in the settings. In the **Inventory** application, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`, select **Track lots or serial numbers**"
msgid "You also need to set up how you will manage lots for each operations. In the **Inventory** application, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Operation Types`."
msgid "Go into :menuselection:`Inventory Control --> Products`, and open the product of your choice. Click on **Edit**, and in the **Inventory** tab, select **Tracking by Lots**, then click on **Save**."
msgid "When doing a classic inventory, there is a **Serial Number** column. If the product has already been assigned with a number, it is already pre-filled."
msgid "You can also just do the inventory of a lot. In this case, you will have to fill in the **Lot number**. You can also create a new lot from here. Just type in the number, a window will pop out to link the number to a product."
msgid "Serial Number Tracking is used to track products with serial numbers on every transactions. You can track the current location of the product with serial numbers. When the products are moved from one location to another location, the system will automatically identify the current location of the product based on last movement of the product. So you can get the last location where the products are moved."
msgid "You need activate the tracking of serial numbers in the settings. In the **Inventory** application, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`, select **Track lots or serial numbers**."
msgid "Go into :menuselection:`Inventory Control --> Products`, and open the product of your choice. Click on **Edit**, and in the **Inventory** tab, select **By Unique Serial Number**, then click on **Save**."
msgid "In order to process a transfer of a product tracked by serial number, you have to input the number(s). In order to be able to assign serial numbers to products with tracking features enabled you will first need to mark your transfer as to do. Click on the **Mark as TODO** button to display the Lot Split icon."
msgid "If you move products that already have serial numbers assigned, those will appear in the list. Just click on the **+** icon to confirm that you are moving those serial numbers."
msgid "Click on **Add an item** if the product has not been inventoried yet. You can easily create serial numbers, just type in a new number in the column."
msgid "You can also just do the inventory of a serial number. In this case, you will have to fill in the serial number. You can also create a new one from here. Just type in the number, a window will pop out to link it to a product."
msgid "The serial number given to these items allow you to keep track of where they were received, put in stock, to whom they were sold and where they were shipped to."
msgid "To track an item, open the **Inventory** module, and in :menuselection:`Inventory Control --> Serial Numbers/lots`, click on the serial number corresponding to your search."
msgid "In the case of an immediate transfer, you directly encode the products and quantities you are processing, there is no reservation that applies. This is why the column \"Initial Demand\" is not editable. You only fill in the column \"Done\" for the quantities."
msgid "This is for example used when you are transferring goods from a location A to a location B and that this is not planned (you are processing the transfer right now)."
msgid "When a transfer is generated automatically (from a sales order or purchase order for example), it is a planned transfer. This means that there is an initial demand and that reservation applies on this initial demand."
msgid "In that case, you will have to enter the initial demand first (how many units are you supposed to proceed), then to mark your transfer as to do. Once this is done, you will be able to reserve the products and to process the transfer."
msgid "Some suppliers can sometimes offer you to store and sell products without having to buy those items: this technique is called **consignee stock**."
msgid "Consignee stock is a great way for manufacturers and suppliers to launch new products.

msgid "**Standard Price** means you estimate the cost price based on direct materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead at the end of a specific period (usually once a year). You enter this cost price in the product form."
msgid "The **Average Price** method recomputes the cost price as a receipt order has been processed, based on prices defined in tied purchase orders: FORMULA (see here attached)"
msgid "From an accounting point of view, this method is mainly justified in case of huge purchase price variations and is quite unusual due to its operational complexity. Your actually need a software like Odoo to easily keep this cost up-to-date."
msgid "This method is dedicated to advanced users. It requires well established business processes because the order in which you process receipt orders matters in the cost computation."
msgid "For **Real Price** (FIFO, LIFO, FEFO, etc), the costing is further refined by the removal strategy set on the warehouse location or product's internal category. The default strategy is FIFO. With such method, your inventory value is computed from the real cost of your stored products (cfr. Quantitative Valuation) and not from the cost price shown in the product form. Whenever you ship items, the cost price is reset to the cost of the last item(s) shipped. This cost price is used to value any product not received from a purchase order (e.g. inventory adjustments)."
msgid "Odoo allows any method. The default one is **Standard Price**. To change it, check **Use a 'Fixed', 'Real' or 'Average' price costing method** in Purchase settings. Then set the costing method from products' internal categories. Categories show up in the Inventory tab of the product form."
msgid "Whatever the method is, Odoo provides a full inventory valuation in :menuselection:`Inventory --> Reports --> Inventory Valuation` (i.e. current quantity in stock * cost price)."
msgid "In a periodic inventory valuation, goods reception and outgoing shipments have no direct impact in the accounting. At the end of the month or year, the accountant posts one journal entry representing the value of the physical inventory."

msgid "Next, click on **Start Inventory**. A new window will open where you will be able to input your existing products. Select add an item and indicate the **Real Quantity** available in the warehouse. The theoretical quantity can not be changed as it represents a computed quantity from purchase and sales orders."
msgid "The final step is to create your internal transfer. If you want to tranfer 2 units of a product from your first warehouse to another one in Brussels, proceed as follows:"
msgid "A new window will open where you will be able to select the source location zone (in this case our \"old warehouse\") and the destination location zone (in this case our \"new\" warehouse located in Brussels)."
msgid "If you select **Mark as TODO**, Odoo will put the transfer in **Waiting Availability** status. Click on **Reserve** to reserve the amount of products in your source warehouse."
msgid "3. Click on the little pencil logo in the lower right corner in order to open the operation details window. In this new window you can manually indicate how much products you process"
msgid "If you decide to partially process the transfer order (e.g. a part of the products can't be shipped yet due to an unexpected event), Odoo will automatically ask if you wish to create a **backorder**. Create a backorder if you expect to process the remaining products later, do not create a backorder if you will not supply/receive the remaining products."
msgid "The procurement inventory control system begins with a customer's order. With this strategy, companies only make enough product to fulfill customer's orders. One advantage to the system is that there will be no excess of inventory that needs to be stored, thus reducing inventory levels and the cost of carrying and storing goods. However, one major disadvantage to the pull system is that it is highly possible to run into ordering dilemmas, such as a supplier not being able to get a shipment out on time. This leaves the company unable to fulfill the order and contributes to customer dissatisfaction."
msgid "An example of a pull inventory control system is the make-to-order. The goal is to keep inventory levels to a minimum by only having enough inventory, not more or less, to meet customer demand. The MTO system eliminates waste by reducing the amount of storage space needed for inventory and the costs of storing goods."
msgid "Procurement rules are part of the routes. Go to the Inventory application>Configuration>Settings and tick \"Advance routing of products using rules\"."
msgid "The push system of inventory control involves forecasting inventory needs to meet customer demand. Companies must predict which products customers will purchase along with determining what quantity of goods will be purchased. The company will in turn produce enough product to meet the forecast demand and sell, or push, the goods to the consumer. Disadvantages of the push inventory control system are that forecasts are often inaccurate as sales can be unpredictable and vary from one year to the next. Another problem with push inventory control systems is that if too much product is left in inventory, this increases the company's costs for storing these goods. An advantage to the push system is that the company is fairly assured it will have enough product on hand to complete customer orders, preventing the inability to meet customer demand for the product."
msgid "A push flow indicates how locations are chained with the other ones. As soon as a given quantity of products is moved in the source location, a chained move is automatically foreseen according to the parameters set on the flow specification (destination location, delay, type of move, journal). It can be triggered automatically or manually."
msgid "Push rules are part of the routes. Go to the menu :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings` and tick **Advance routing of products using rules**."
msgid "Here you can set the conditions of your rule. In this example, when a good is in **Input location**, it needs to be moved to the quality control. In the 3 steps receipts, another push rule will make the goods that are in the quality control location move to the stock."
msgid "The push rule will trigger stock transfer. According to the rule set on your route, you will see that some transfers might be ready and other are waiting."
msgid "In this example, another move is waiting according to the second push rule, it defines that when the quality control is done, the goods will be moved to the main stock."
msgid "Procurement rules are part of the routes. Go to the **Inventory** application, :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` and tick **Advance routing of products using rules**."
msgid "If you tick **Warehouses**, you have to choose on which warehouse it will be applied. The route will be set for all transfer in that warehouse that would meet the conditions of the procurement and push rules."

msgid "When doing a procurement request, you can force the route you want to use. On the product (:menuselection:`Inventory Control --> Products`), click on **Procurement Request**. Choose the route you want to use next to **Preferred Routes**:"
msgid "If you work with no stock, or with minimum stock rules, it is better to use the **Make To Order** route. Combine it with the route **Buy** or **Manufacture** and it will trigger automatically the purchase order or the Manufacturing Order when your products are out-of-stock."
msgid "Landed costs can only be applied to products with a FIFO costing method and an automated inventory valuation (which requires the accounting application to be installed)."
msgid "Go in :menuselection:`Inventory --> Operations --> Landed Costs` and click on the **Create** button.

Once it's done, click on the **Compute** button to see how the costs lines will be split accross your transfers lines."
msgid "A good warehouse implementation takes care that products automatically move to their appropriate destination location. Putaway is the process of taking products off the receiving shipment and putting them into the most appropriate location."
msgid "If for instance a warehouse contains volatile substances, it is important to make sure that certain products are not stored close to each other because of a potential chemical reaction."
msgid "A putaway strategy follows the same principle as removal strategies but affects the destination location. Putaway strategies are defined at the location level (unlike removal strategies which are defined at the product level)."

msgid "When a product movement needs to be done, Odoo will find available products that can be assigned to shipping. The way Odoo assign these products depend on the **removal strategy** that is defined on the **product category** or on the **location**."
msgid "Check **Track lots or serial numbers**, **Manage several location per warehouse** and **Advanced routing of products using rules**, then click on **Apply**."
msgid "A **First In First Out** strategy implies that the products that were stocked first will move out first. Companies should use FIFO method if they are selling perishable goods. Companies selling products with relatively short demand cycles, such as clothes, also may have to pick FIFO to ensure they are not stuck with outdated styles in inventory."
msgid "In this warehouse management, the products which are brought in the last, moves out the first. LIFO is used in case of products which do not have a shelf life."
msgid "Go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Setting`. Check the option **Define Expiration date on serial numbers**. Then click on **Apply** to save changes."
msgid "This will allow you to set four expiration fields for each lot or serial number: **best before date**, **end of life date**, **alert date** and **removal date**. These dates can be set from :menuselection:`Inventory Control --> Serial Numbers/Lots`."
msgid "**Removal Date:** This is the date on which the goods with this serial/lot number should be removed from the stock. Using the FEFO removal strategy goods are picked for delivery orders using this date."
msgid "Lots will be picked based on their **removal date**, from earliest to latest. Lots without a removal date defined will be picked after lots with removal dates."
msgid "All dates except **removal date** are for informational and reporting purposes only. Lots that are past any or all of the above expiration dates may still be picked for delivery orders, and no alerts will be sent when lots pass their **alert date**."
msgid "Expiration dates on lots can also be set automatically when goods are received into stock. After enabling expiration dates on serial numbers, four new fields will become available in the inventory tab of the product form: **product life time**, **product use time**, **product removal time**, and **product alert time**. When an integer is entered into one of these fields, the expiration date of a lot/serial of the product in question will be set to the creation date of the lot/serial number plus the number of days entered in the time increment field. If the time increment field is set to zero, then the expiration date of a lot/serial must be defined manually after the lot has been created."
msgid "Let's take an example, there are ``3`` lots of ``ice cream`` available in ``WH/Stock`` location: ``LOT0001``, ``LOT0002``, ``LOT0003`` with different expiration date."
msgid "Minimum Stock rules and Make to Order have similar consequences but different rules. They should be used depending on your manufacturing and delivery strategies."
msgid "Minimum Stock rules are used to ensure that you always have the minimum amount of a product in stock in order to manufacture your products and/or answer to your customer needs. When the stock level of a product reaches its minimum the system will automatically generate a procurement order with the quantity needed to reach the maximum stock level."
msgid "The Make to Order function will trigger a Purchase Order of the amount of the Sales Order related to the product. The system will **not** check the current stock. This means that a draft purchase order will be generated regardless of the quantity on hand of the product."

Example: instead of creating a Bill of Material for \"T-shirt, Red, S\", you create a bill of material for \"T-shirt\" and add some lines that are specific to the dimension S, and other lines specific to the color Red."
msgid "**Pricing**: The default price of a product is computed using the price of the product template and add the optional extra price on each dimension of the variant. This way, variant prices are easier to maintain since you don't have to set the price for every variant. However, it's possible to create pricelist rules to fix price per variants too."
msgid "Using variants may add a level of complexity on the way you use Odoo. You should consider using variants only if you need it to reduce the complexity of managing lots of products that are similars."
