msgid "To process an inventory adjustment by using barcodes, you first need to open the *Barcode* app. Then, from the application, click on *Inventory Adjustments*."
msgid "Once you have clicked on *Inventory Adjustments*, Odoo will automatically create one. Note that, if you work with multi-location, you first need to specify in which location the inventory adjustment takes place."
msgid "Besides using the barcode scanner, you can also manually add a product if necessary. To do so, click on *Add Product* and fill the information in manually."
msgid "There are different situations in which barcode nomenclatures can be useful. A well-known use case is the one of a point of sale which sells products in bulk, in which the customers will scale their products themselves and get the printed barcode to stick on the product. This barcode will contain the weight of the product and help compute the price accordingly."
msgid "Odoo supports Barcode Nomenclatures, which determine the mapping and interpretation of the encoded information. You can configure your barcode nomenclature being in :doc:`Developer mode <../../../general/developer_mode/activate>`. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Barcode Nomenclature`."
msgid "The first step is to specify the **rule name**, for example Weight Barcode with 3 Decimals. You then have to specify the type for barcode nomenclature, in our case it will be Weighted Product."
msgid "The Barcode Pattern is a regular expression that defines the structure of the barcode. In this example 21 defines the products on which the rule will be applied, those are the numbers by which the product barcode should start. The 5 “dots” are the following numbers of the product barcode and are there simply to identify the product in question. The “N” define a number and the “D” define the decimals."
msgid "You can define different rules and order their priority thanks to the sequence. The first rule which matches the scanned barcode will be applied."
msgid "In case you weight 1,5 Kg of pasta, the balance will print you the following barcode 2112345015002. If you scan this barcode in your POS or when receiving products in your barcode application, Odoo will automatically create a new line for the Pasta product for a quantity of 1.5 Kg. For the point of sale, a price depending on the quantity will also be computed."
msgid "**Discounted Product**: allows you to create one barcode per applied discount. You can then scan your product in the POS and then scan the discount barcode, discount will be applied on the normal price of the product."
msgid "**Weighted Product**: allows you to identify the product and specify its weight, used in both POS (in which the price is computed based on the weight) and in inventory."
msgid "Then, you have the choice to either enter an existing transfer, by going to the corresponding operation type and manually selecting the one you want to enter, or by scanning the barcode of the transfer."
msgid "From there, you will be able to scan the products that are part of the existing transfer and/or add new products to this transfer. Once all the products have been scanned, you can validate the transfer to proceed with the stock moves."
msgid "When receiving a product in stock, you need to scan its barcode in order to identify it in the system. Once done, you can either make it enter the main location of the transfer, for example WH/Stock, or scan a location barcode to make it enter a sub-location of the main location."
msgid "When delivering a product, you have to scan the source location if it is different than the one initially set on the transfer. Then, you can start scanning the products that are delivered from this specific location."
msgid "Once the different products have been scanned, you have the possibility to scan another location, such as WH/Stock, and another page will be added to your delivery order. You can move from one to the other thanks to the *Previous* and *Next* buttons."
msgid "Now, you can validate your transfer. To do so, click on *Next* until you reach the last page of the transfer. There, you will be able to validate it."
msgid "When realizing an internal transfer with multi-location, you first have to scan the source location of the product. Then, you can scan the product in itself, before having to scan the barcode of the destination location."
msgid "If you work with serial/lot numbers taking all products into consideration, you can scan the barcode of the lot/serial number and Odoo will increase the quantity of the product, setting its lot/serial number."
msgid "If you have the same lot/serial number for different products, you can work by scanning the product barcode first, and then the barcode of the lot/serial number."
msgid "To create a transfer from the *Barcode* application, you first need to print the operation type barcodes. To do so, you can download the *Stock barcode sheet* from the home page of the app."
msgid "Once done, you can scan the one for which you want to create a new document. Then, an empty document will be created and you will be able to scan your products to populate it."
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 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 "To use this feature, you first need to activate the *Barcode* functionality via :menuselection:`Inventory --> Settings --> Barcode Scanner`. Once you have ticked the feature, you can hit save."
msgid "You can easily assign barcodes to your different products via the *Inventory* app. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Configure Products Barcodes`."
msgid "Be careful to add barcodes directly on the product variants and not on 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 --> Locations`."
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."
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."
msgid "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 "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 "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 "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 "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 about Drop-Shipping, you can read our blog: `*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 "Then, go to the *Inventory* app, in :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` to activate the *Multi-Step Routes* feature. It will allow you to make the *Route* field appear on the sale order lines to specify you send a product via drop-shipping."
msgid "Now, in the *Sales* app, go to :menuselection:`Products --> Products`. Select the product you would like to drop-ship and add a vendor pricelist which contains the right supplier, via the purchase tab."
msgid "Create a *Sales Order* and add the product on which you just set the vendor. Add the *Route* field thanks to the widget on the right of the sale order line. Now, you are able to specify that your products’ route is *Drop-Shipping*."
msgid "Once the sale order is confirmed, Odoo automatically generates a *Request for Quotation* for the supplier who will proceed to the drop-shipping. You can find it in the *Purchase* app, with the sale order as *Source Document*."
msgid "Once this *Purchase Order* is confirmed, a *Receipt Order* is created and linked to it. The source location is the vendor location and the destination location is the customer location. Then, the product won’t go through your own stock when you validate the dropship document."
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 "There is no configuration needed to receive in one step. The default incoming shipments are configured to be directly received from the vendors to the stock."
msgid "However, if advanced routes have been activated and you set another incoming configuration on your warehouse, you can set it back to the one-step receipt configuration. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Warehouses` and edit the warehouse in question."
msgid "To create a *Request for Quotation*, go to the *Purchase* application and click on *Create*. Then, add some storable products to receive and confirm the *RfQ*."
msgid "Notice that, now, we see 1 receipt associated with the purchase order you just created. If you click on the button, you will see your receipt order."
msgid "You can also fin the receipt directly from the *Inventory* app. When on the dashboard, you can click the *1 TO PROCESS* button under the *Receipts* Kanban card. Then, you will see your receipt."
msgid "Now, enter the picking that you want to process. You will be able to click on *Validate* to complete the move directly as products coming from suppliers are considered as being always available."
msgid "Once you *Validate* the receipt, the products leave the *Supplier Location* to enter your *WH/Stock Location*. You can easily see that the receipt took place thanks to the status of the document, which is now *Done*."
msgid "Now, you can create a planned delivery with some products in it. You will have the possibility to create new packages and assign them to the stock move lines."
msgid "Then, you can define the package type from this window. Once the delivery order is validated, you can retrieve which products have been included in the package."
msgid "Another way to put products in packs is to use the *Put in Pack* button. It will automatically assign a pack to the number of products which is set as *Done* and duplicate the stock move line if necessary."
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 "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. Therefore, adding a *quality control step* in the goods receipt process can become essential."
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 having 3 steps."
msgid "The 3-steps flow is as follows: You receive the goods in an input area, then transfer them into a 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 "First, you will need to activate the *multi-step routes* option. Indeed, routes provide a mechanism to chain different actions together. Here, we will chain the picking to the shipping."
msgid "To activate *multi-step routes*, open the *inventory app*, and go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` and activate the option. By default, activating *multi-step routes* will also activate *Storage Locations*."
msgid "Now that *Multi-Step Routes* is activated, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Warehouse` and open the one you will use to deliver in 3 steps. Then, you can select the option *Pack good, send goods in output and then deliver (3 steps)* as *Outgoing Shipments*."
msgid "Of course, you can rename them if you want. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Locations` and select the one you want to rename. Change its name and hit save."
msgid "In the *Sales* app, create a quotation with storable products to deliver. Then, confirm it and three pickings will be created and linked to your sale order."
msgid "The first operation to be processed is the picking and has a *Ready* status, while the others are *Waiting Another Operation*. The packing will become *Ready* as soon as the picking is marked as *Done*."
msgid "Now that the picking has been validated, the packing order is ready to be processed. Since the documents are chained, the products that have been picked are automatically reserved on the packing order so you can directly validate it."
msgid "Then, you can validate your packing. In doing so, the delivery order can be processed. Once again, it will be ready to be validated so you can transfer the products to the customer location."
msgid "Odoo uses routes to define exactly how you will handle the different receipt steps. The configuration is done at the *Warehouse* level. By default, the reception is a one-step process, but changing the configuration can allow you to have 2 steps."
msgid "The 2 steps flow is like this: you receive the goods in an input area, then transfer them to your stock. As long as the goods are not transferred in your stock, they will not be available for further processing."
msgid "The first step is to allow using *multi-step routes*. Indeed, routes provide a mechanism to chain different actions together. In this case, we will chain the unload step in the input area to the step entering the products in stock."
msgid "To allow *multi-step routes*, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` and activate the feature. By default, activating *multi-step routes* will also activate *Storage Locations*."
msgid "Once *multi-step routes* is activated, you can go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Warehouse` and enter the warehouse which will use receipt in 2 steps. Then, you can select the option *Receive goods in input and then stock (2 steps)* for *Incoming Shipments*."
msgid "Activating this option will lead to the creation of a new *Input* location. If you want to rename it, you can go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Locations --> Select Input` and update its name."
msgid "In the *Purchase* application, you can create a *Request for Quotation* with some storable products to receive from a supplier. Once the *RfQ* is confirmed, the receipt picking will be created and automatically linked to your purchase order."
msgid "Now, by clicking on the *1 Receipt* button, you will see the first picking which will allow entering the product in the *input location*. Then, another picking, an internal transfer, has been created in order to move the products to *Stock*."
msgid "The receipt is the first one to be processed and has a *Ready* status while the internal transfer will only become *Ready* once the receipt has been marked as *Done*."
msgid "By default, a receipt is always considered as ready to be processed. Then, you will be able to directly click on *Validate* to mark it as done."
msgid "Once the receipt has been validated, the internal transfer is ready to be processed. As documents are chained, the products which have been received are automatically reserved on the internal transfer. Once the transfer is validated, those products enter the stock and you will be able to use them to fulfill customer deliveries or manufacture products."
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 "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 "In many companies, products have expiration dates and they should be tracked based on those dates. In the food industry, for example, tracking stocks based on expiration dates is mandatory to avoid selling expired products to customers."
msgid "To use expiration dates tracking, open the *Inventory* application and go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` and activate the *Lots & Serial Numbers* and *Expiration Dates* features."
msgid "Product Use Time: it’s the number of days before the goods start deteriorating, without being dangerous yet. It will be computed using the lot/serial number;"
msgid "Product Life Time: refers to the number of days before the goods may become dangerous and must not be consumed. It will be computed on the lot/serial number;"
msgid "Product Removal Time: shows the number of days before the goods should be removed from the stock. It will be computed on the lot/serial number;"
msgid "When receiving a product in stock, the dates will automatically be updated on the corresponding lot/serial number. This update will be based on the reception date of the product and the times set on the product form."
msgid "You can access all your expiration alerts from the *inventory* app. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Master Data --> Lots/Serial Numbers`. There, you can use the pre-existing filter that shows all the lots/serial numbers that exceeded their alert date."
msgid "Lots are useful for products you receive in great quantity and for which a lot number can help in reporting, 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 "First, you need to activate the tracking of lot numbers. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings` and tick *Lots & Serial Numbers*. Then, click on save."
msgid "Go to :menuselection:`Master Data --> Products` and open the product of your choice. There, click on *Edit* and select *Tracking by Lots* in the inventory tab."
msgid "When opening the detailed operations, you can click on *Add a line*. Then, you will be able to fill the lot number in. Once done, you can click on *Add a line* again to register a new lot number."
msgid "Once the spreadsheet containing the lot numbers you received from your supplier and copy the list. Then, you can paste them in the *Lot/Serial Number Name* column for Odoo to automatically create the necessary lines. After that, you will have to manually enter the number of products that are contained in each one of the lots."
msgid "Of course, you also have the possibility to define how you will manage lots for each operation type. To do so, open the *Inventory* app and go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Operation Types`."
msgid "For each type (receipts, internal transfers, deliveries, …), you can decide if you allow to create new lot numbers or only use existing ones. By default, the creation of new lots is only allowed at product reception, and using existing lot numbers isn’t allowed in this operation. If you have inter-warehouse transfers and track products by lots, it can be useful to allow using existing lot numbers in receipts too."
msgid "The lot number given to the products allows 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:`Master Data --> Lots/Serial Numbers`, click on the lot number corresponding to your search."
msgid "To track products with serial numbers, you can use the serial number tracking. With them, you can track the current location of the product and, when the products are moved from one location to another, the system will automatically identify the current location of the product, based on its last movement."
msgid "First, you need to activate the serial numbers tracking. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` in the *Inventory* application. Then, enable the feature and hit save."
msgid "Now, you have to configure the products you want to track by serial numbers. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Master Data --> Products` and open the product of your choice. Edit it and select *Tracking By Unique Serial Number* in the *Inventory tab*. Then, click on save."
msgid "When opening the detailed operations, you can click on *Add a line*. Then, you will be able to fill in the serial number field. Once done, you can click again on *Add a line* to register a new serial number."
msgid "By using the multi-assignation of serial numbers, Odoo will automatically create the necessary lines. To do so, you have to enter the first serial number of your set and the number of products you have to assign a serial number to."
msgid "To use copy/pasting, open the spreadsheet containing the serial numbers you received and copy the list. Then, past them in the *Lot/Serial Number Name* column of the wizard. Doing so, Odoo will automatically create the lines you need."
msgid "You also have the possibility to define how you will manage lots for each operation type. To define it, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Operation Types` in the *Inventory* app."
msgid "For each type, you can decide if you allow the creation of new lot numbers or want to use existing ones. By default, the creation of new lots is only allowed at product reception."
msgid "Using serial numbers allows you to keep track of where the products were received, put in stock, to whom they were sold, and where they were shipped to."
msgid "Tracking an item is easy: open the *Inventory* app, and go to :menuselection:`Master Data --> Lots/Serial Numbers` and click on the serial number corresponding to your search. Then, open the *Traceability* information. There, you will see in which documents the serial number has been used."
msgid "First, go to the *Inventory* app, then to *Settings* and activate the *Email Confirmation* feature. If you work in multi-company, this configuration is company-specific."
msgid "When you enable this feature, Odoo automatically creates an email template. Of course, you can modify it if necessary by clicking on the small arrow next to its name."
msgid "On the inventory dashboard, click on *Create* and fill the form for a specific partner. Once you have added some products in it, *Validate* it and do the same for the delivery."
msgid "Consignee stock is a great way for manufacturers and suppliers to launch new products. As resellers may be reluctant to buy a product they are not sure to be able to sell, consignee stock will allow them to offer an item to check its market without having to pay for it in the first place."
msgid "To use this feature, go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings` in the inventory app. Then, enable the *Consignment* feature in the *Traceability* section. Now, hit save."
msgid "When in the *Inventory* app, open the receipts and create a new reception. On the right side, you will see that a new line called *Assign Owner* has appeared. There, you can specify the partner which owns the stock."
msgid "In your warehouse, you sometimes find products that are damaged or that are unusable due to expiry or for some other reasons. You often notice this during picking or physical inventory. Since those products cannot be sold or stored, you have to scrap them."
msgid "When goods are scrapped, they are not reflected in the system as a part of the inventory. The scrapped material will be physically moved to the scrap area and not taken into account into inventory valuation."
msgid "Of course, you can create new scrap areas if needed. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings` and activate the *Storage Locations* feature."
msgid "You have to check *Is a Scrap Location?* on the location form. In fact, scrap locations cannot be used as normal storage locations and then, a virtual location will be created for scrapped products."
msgid "Scrapping products from receipts is easy. Go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Dashboard --> Receipts` or click on *1 TO PROCESS* under the receipts location."
msgid "Now, open the receipt and validate the picking. Once the products entered your stock, the Scrap button appears on the top left corner of your screen."
msgid "You can scrap products that were part of the receipt from there. If you do so, it will move them from available stock to the virtual scrap location."
msgid "Once done, open the delivery order. You can see the scrap button in the upper left of the document. If you scrap the product from there, it will be moved from your available stock to the virtual scrap location."
msgid "When scrapping before validating the internal transfer, the product is, by default, moved from the source location to the virtual scrap location. But, if you scrap after validating the internal transfer, it will be moved from the destination location, as opposed to the source location, to the virtual scrap location."
msgid "To send automated SMS, you need to activate the *SMS Confirmation* feature. To do so, go to the *Inventory* app *Settings* and enable the feature. In multi-company, this feature is company-specific."
msgid "In most cases, scheduled dates are computed to be able to plan deliveries, receptions, and so on. Depending on your company’s habits, Odoo generates scheduled dates via the scheduler."
msgid "To make your life easier, the Odoo scheduler computes everything per line, whether it’s a manufacturing order, a delivery order, a sale order, etc."
msgid "Configuring lead times is the first move if you want to compute scheduled dates. Those are the delays promised (in terms of delivery, manufacturing, etc.) to your partners and/or clients."
msgid "When configuring lead times at the product level, you have three different types to take into account: supplier lead time, customer lead time, and manufacturing lead time."
msgid "The supplier lead time is the time needed for the supplier to deliver your purchased products. To configure it, select a product and click on the inventory tab. There, you will have to add a vendor to your product."
msgid "Now, just open the vendor form and fill its *Delivery lead time*. In this case, the delivery day will be equal to *Date of the Purchase Order + Delivery Lead Time*."
msgid "It is the time needed to get your product from your store/warehouse to your customer. It can be configured for any product. To add it, select a product and go to the inventory tab. There, simply indicate your *customer lead time*."
msgid "At the company level, you can configure security days. Those are useful to cope with eventual dalys 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 "In sales, security lead time corresponds to backup days to ensure you will be able to deliver your clients 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."
msgid "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 "It follows the same logic as security lead time for sales except that security lead time for purchase is the margin of error for vendor lead times, not for sales."
msgid "When the system generates purchase orders for procuring products, they will be scheduled that many days earlier to cope with unexpected vendor delays."
msgid "The security lead time for manufacturing allows generating manufacturing orders which are scheduled that many days earlier to cope with unexpected manufacturing days."
msgid "To configure it, go to :menuselection:`Manufacturing --> Configuration --> Settings` and enable the *Security Lead Time* option. Then, hit save."
msgid "Sometimes, the internal transfers that a product might do may also influence the computed date. The delays due to internal transfers can be specified in the *Inventory* app when you create a new rule in a route."
msgid "To specify them, go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Routes` and add a push rule to set a delay. Of course, you need to activate *Multi-step Routes* to use this feature."
msgid "In the *Sales* application, you have the possibility to activate the option *Delivery Date*. It will allow you to see additional fields on the sale order."
msgid "By enabling this option, Odoo will indicate the *Expected Date* in the *Other Info* tab of the sales order. This one is automatically computed based on the different lead times."
msgid "To better understand all the above info, here is 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 20th). In such a scenario, the scheduler will trigger the following events, based on your configuration:"
msgid "The scheduler is the calculation engine that plans and prioritizes production and purchasing. It does it automatically, according to the rules defined on products. By default, the scheduler is set to run once a day."
msgid "Scheduling only validates procurements that are confirmed but not yet started. These procurement reservations will start production, tasks or purchases themselves, depending on the configuration of the requested product."
msgid "As a human would do, the scheduler takes the priority of operations into account when starting reservations and procurements. Urgent requests will be started first."
msgid "To start the scheduler manually, go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Operations --> Run Schedulers`. The scheduler uses all the relevant parameters defined for products, suppliers and the company to prioritize the different production orders, deliveries and supplier purchases."
msgid "Then, go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Technical --> Automation --> Scheduled Actions` and modify the *Run MRP Scheduler Configuration*. There, you can set the starting time of the scheduler."
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."
msgid "The Minimum Stock Rules configuration is available through your Inventory module. In the Inventory Control menu select \"Reordering Rule\" in the drop down menu. There, click on \"Create\" to set minimum and maximum stock values for a given product."
msgid "The Make to Order configuration is available on your product form through your :menuselection:`Inventory --> 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 "To separate a delivery into different packages you will have to set the done quantity to the desired package quantity then click on \"PUT IN PACK\", do this for each package."
msgid "The packaging is the physical container that protects your product. If you are selling computers, the packaging contains the computer with the notice and the power plug."

msgid "Landed costs can only be applied to products with a FIFO or AVCO costing method and an automated inventory valuation (which requires the accounting application to be installed)."
msgid "First, you need to go in :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings` and activate the landed costs feature. You can also determine the default journal in which the landed cost accounting entries will be recorded."
msgid "At the top of my vendor bill, I’ll see a button *create landed costs*. I click on this button and a landed cost is automatically created. I can now decide on which picking those additional costs should apply."

msgid "You are not forced to start from the vendor bill, you can also go in :menuselection:`Inventory --> Operations --> Landed Costs` and directly create the landed cost from there."
msgid "Inventory valuation refers to how you value your stock. It’s a very important aspect of a business as the inventory can be the biggest asset of a company."
msgid "In **Standard Price**, any product will be valued at the cost that you defined manually on the product form. Usually, this cost is an estimation based on the material and labor needed to obtain the product. This cost must be reviewed periodically."
msgid "In **AVCO (Average Cost)**, each product has the same value and this value is the average purchase cost of the product. With this costing method, the cost of the product is recomputed as each receipt."
msgid "In **FIFO (First In First Out)**, the products are valued at their purchase cost. When a product leaves the stock, that’s the “First in, first out” rule that applies."
msgid "Pay attention, that this is a financial FIFO. The first value “in” is the first value “out”, no matter the storage location, warehouse or serial number."
msgid "There are two ways to record your inventory valuation in your accounting books. As the costing method, this is defined in your product category. Those two methods are detailed below."
msgid "It is important to also note that the accounting entries will depend on your accounting mode: it can be continental or anglo-saxon. In continental accounting, the cost of a good is taken into account as soon as the product is received in stock. In anglo-saxon accounting, the cost of a good is only recorded as an expense when this good is invoiced to a final customer. In the tables below, you can easily compare those two accounting modes."
msgid "Usually, based on your country, the correct accounting mode will be chosen by default. If you want to verify your accounting mode, activate the :doc:`Developer mode <../../../general/developer_mode/activate>` and open your accounting settings."
msgid "In this case, goods receipts and deliveries won’t have any direct impact on your accounting books. Periodically, you create a manual journal entry representing the value of what you have in stock. To know that value, go in :menuselection:`Inventory --> Reporting --> Inventory Valuation`."
msgid "This is the default configuration in Odoo and it works out-of-the-box. Check following operations and find out how Odoo is managing the accounting postings."
msgid "At the end of the month/year, your company does a physical inventory or just relies on the inventory in Odoo to value the stock into your books."
msgid "In that case, when a product enters or leaves your stock, an accounting entry will be automatically created. This means your accounting books are always up-to-date. This mode is dedicated to expert accountants and advanced users only. As opposed to periodic valuation, it requires some extra configuration & testing."
msgid "Expenses: this is where you should set the \"Cost of Goods Sold\" account. Defined on the product category as a default value, or specifically on the product form."
msgid "Each time a product enters or leaves your stock, the value of your inventory is impacted. The way it is impacted depends on the configuration of your product (more info here)."
msgid "When I’ll confirm the receipt of the products, the value of my inventory will be impacted. If I want to know what this impact is, I can click on the valuation stat button."
msgid "The consignment feature allows you to set owners on your stock (discover more about the consignment feature). When you receive products that are owned by another company, they are not taken into account in your inventory valuation."
msgid "The summary of this is accessible via the inventory valuation report (accessible from :menuselection:`Inventory --> Reporting --> Inventory Valuation`). It gives you, product per product, the value of your stock. By clicking on the button *Inventory At Date*, you can have the same information for a past date."
msgid "In Odoo, a **Warehouse** is the actual building/place in which your items are stocked. You can setup multiple warehouses and create moves between warehouses."
msgid "A **Location**, is a specific space within your warehouse. It can be considered as a sublocation of your warehouse, as a shelf, a floor, an aisle, etc. Therefore, a location is part of one warehouse only and it is not possible to link one location to multiple warehouses. You can configure as much locations as you need under one warehouse."
msgid "The **Physical Locations** are internal locations that are part of the warehouses for which you are the owner. They can be the loading and unloading area of your warehouse, a shelf or a department, etc."
msgid "The **Partner Locations** are spaces within a customer and/or vendor's warehouse. They work the same way as Physical Locations with the only difference being that you are not the owner of the warehouse."
msgid "The **Virtual Locations** are places that do not exist, but in which products can be placed when they are not physically in an inventory yet (or anymore). They come in handy when you want to place lost products out of your stock (in the **Inventory loss**), or when you want to take into account products that are on their way to your warehouse (**Procurements**)."
msgid "In Odoo, locations are structured hierarchically. You can structure your locations as a tree, dependent on a parent-child relationship. This gives you more detailed levels of analysis of your stock operations and the organization of your warehouses."
msgid "In order to be able to create different locations, you will need to activate *Multi-Locations* in the settings which can be done from the :menuselection:`Inventory application --> Configuration --> Settings`."
msgid "In the *Inventory application*, you can now go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Locations` and hit *Create* in order to create a new location."
msgid "Type the name of the location in the *Location Name* field, and select the *Parent Location* in the list. The parent location can be a physical, partner or virtual location, and you can add as many sub-locations as needed to a location."
msgid "In case you want the location to be suggested when creating a Return or when Scrapping a product, you should check *Is a Scrap Location?* and *Is a Return Location?*."
msgid "A warehouse also corresponds to a location. As the locations are hierarchical, Odoo will create the parent location of the warehouse, containing all the sublocations in it."
msgid "In order to create a new warehouse, you should activate the *Multi-Warehouse* settings. Note that the *Multi-Locations* settings will be automatically activated at the same time."
msgid "You will be able to enter your warehouse name. You should also choose a short name for your warehouse which is 5-characters long and is used on the different warehouse documents."
msgid "In the Address field, you can select an existing company or create one on-the-go. Therefore, the address of your warehouse will be the same as the one of the company you selected. You can also leave this field empty and edit it afterward."
msgid "After the creation of your new warehouse, you can go back to the *Dashboard* and you will see the new operation types automatically created by Odoo due to the creation of a new warehouse."
msgid "The first step to use the inventory application is to create products in your database via the menu :menuselection:`Master Data --> Products`. Click the Create button and enter the name of your product."
msgid "In case you set the product as *storable*, you will track the stock for this product and know how many units are in stock and what is the forecasted number of units. If you want to include a product on receipts/deliveries but don’t need to track its stock, you can set it as *consumable*."
msgid "Once you have existing products, you can decide to create a delivery to deliver products to your customers. The process in order to do so is described in the following print screens."
msgid "On the delivery order, you can specify to whom the products will be delivered along with the different products and their respective quantities. When the delivery is complete you can hit *Validate* and the products will go out of your stock."
msgid "In case you have a delivery that is planned but shouldn’t be immediately validated, you can create a *planned delivery* with a scheduled date in the future. You can indicate the initial demand for each product, corresponding to what has been ordered by your customer. Once the document is filled in, you can hit “Mark as to do” in order to consider it in your product forecasts."
msgid "If you have the *Sales* application installed, delivery can be directly created by *validating a quotation*. You will be able to find the corresponding delivery directly on the *sale order*."
msgid "Once you have created all your *storable products*, you can create an *inventory adjustment* to determine their current stock level in Odoo. You therefore need to go to :menuselection:`Operations --> Inventory Adjustments` and create a new one."
msgid "You have to enter a title for your *inventory adjustment* and you can then decide if you want to proceed to the *inventory adjustment* of all products or only some of them. For a first *inventory adjustment*, I suggest you to keep the *Products* field empty. You can then *Start Inventory*."
msgid "If you already have some products in stock, Odoo will add the lines with the theoretical quantity currently in stock. You can also add new lines with your other products."
msgid "If your products are tracked by Serial/Lot numbers, you will have an additional column allowing you to specify those for the different units added to the inventory adjustment."
msgid "Odoo will highlight in red the lines for which there is a difference between the theoretical quantity on hand, which is automatically computed by the system, and the counted quantity you manually entered. Once all the necessary products have been entered, you can hit *Validate Inventory* and the quantities on hand of your different products will be updated."
msgid "When clicking this button, you see the current stock you have for this product. You can edit the existing lines or create new ones to add stock of your product in different locations and/or add new serial/lot numbers."
msgid "If you work with product variants, the quantity on hand will show you the total quantity in stock for the product template, taking the different variants into account."
msgid "By default, the quantity on hand of the product form will show you the number of products that are part of your warehouse view location, meaning which are part of an internal type sub-location of this warehouse. It means that if you have any product in a location that isn’t under the main warehouse location, they won’t appear in the stock on hand stat button."
msgid "Once you have existing products, you can decide to create a receipt to enter products from your supplier in stock. The process in order to do so is described in the following print screens."
msgid "On the receipt document, you can select the quantity of the different products you receive and the supplier from who you received them. When the receipt is complete, you can hit *Validate* and the products will enter your stock."
msgid "In case you have a receipt that is planned but shouldn’t be immediately validated, you can create a *planned receipt* with a scheduled date in the future. You can indicate the initial demand for each product, corresponding to what has been ordered to your supplier. Once the document is filled in, you can hit “Mark as to do” in order to consider it in your product forecasts."
msgid "If you have the *Purchase* application installed, receipts can be directly created by validating a *request for quotation*. You will be able to find the corresponding receipt directly on the *purchase order*."
msgid "Cross-docking is the process of sending products that are received directly to the customers, without making them enter the stock. The trucks are simply unloaded in a *Cross-Dock* area in order to reorganize products and load another truck."
msgid "For more information on how to organize your warehouse, read our blog: `What is cross-docking and is it for me? <https://www.odoo.com/blog/business-hacks-1/post/what-is-cross-docking-and-is-it-for-me-270>`__"
msgid "Now, both *Incoming* and *Outgoing* shipments should be configured to work with 2 steps. To adapt the configuration, go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Warehouses` and edit your warehouse."
msgid "This modification will lead to the creation of a *Cross-Docking* route that can be found in :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Routes`."
msgid "Create the product that uses the *Cross-Dock Route* and then, in the inventory tab, select the routes *Buy* and *Cross-Dock*. Now, in the purchase tab, specify the vendor to who you buy the product and set a price for it."
msgid "Once done, create a sale order for the product and confirm it. Odoo will automatically create two transfers which will be linked to the sale order. The first one is the transfer from the *Input Location* to the *Output Location*, corresponding to the move of the product in the *Cross-Dock* area. The second one is the delivery order from the *Output Location* to your *Customer Location. Both are in state *Waiting Another Operation* because we still need to order the product to our supplier."
msgid "Now, go to the *Purchase* app. There, you will find the purchase order that has been automatically triggered by the system. Validate it and receive the products in the *Input Location*."
msgid "When the products have been received from the supplier, you can go back to your initial sale order and validate the internal transfer from *Input* to *Output*."
msgid "If you own different warehouses you might want to transfer goods from one warehouse to the other. This is very easy thanks to the inventory application in Odoo."
msgid "First of all you have to select the multi locations option. Go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` in the **Inventory application**. Then tick the **Manage several locations per warehouse** option. Please don't forget to **apply** your changes."
msgid "The next step is to create your new warehouse. In the Inventory application click on :menuselection:`Configuration --> Warehouse Management --> Warehouses`. You are now able to create your warehouse by clicking on **Create**."
msgid "Please note that the **Short Name** is very important as it will appear on your transfer orders and other warehouse documents. It might be smart to use an understandable one (e.g.: WH/[first letters of location])."
msgid "If you create a new warehouse you might already have an existing physical inventory in it. In that case you should create an inventory in Odoo, if not you can skip this step."
msgid "Go into the inventory application, select :menuselection:`Inventory Control --> Inventory Adjustment`. You can then create a new inventory by clicking on **Create**. Fill in the **Inventory Reference**, **Date** and be sure to select the right warehouse and location."
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 "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 "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 "Open the product on which you want to apply the routes (:menuselection:`Inventory --> Control --> Products`). In the Inventory Tab, select the route(s):"

msgid "In the Sales application, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` and tick **Choose specific routes on sales order lines (advanced)**."
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 "A good warehouse implementation takes care that products automatically move to their appropriate destination location. To make that process easier, Odoo uses *Putaway rules*. But what is a putaway rule? Putaway is the process of taking products off the receiving shipments and directly putting them into the most appropriate location."
msgid "If, for example, 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. That’s where putaway rules intervene, to avoid storing products wrongly."
msgid "In the *Inventory* app, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` and activate the *Multi-Step Routes*. By doing so, the *Storage Locations* will be automatically activated."
msgid "In some cases, like for a retail shop storing vegetables and fruits, we have to store products in different locations to maintain product quality."
msgid "To manage those locations, we will create putaway rules. To do so, open the *Inventory* app and go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Putaway Rules`. Then, click on create and configure your first rule indicating the main location the product will enter before being redirected to the right location."
msgid "Now, if I purchase apples and carrots to my supplier, they will be grouped in the same receipt but redirected to the right location automatically, thanks to putaway rules. This information is available from *Inventory Report*, under the reporting menu."
msgid "Removal strategies are usually in picking operations to select the best products in order to optimize the distance for the worker, for quality control purpose or due to reason of product expiration."
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."
