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.
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.
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.
