-   :alt: Enable Multi-Step Routes in an Odoo database's settings
-
-You can then access your warehouses via :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration -->
-Warehouses`.
-Enter the warehouse which should be resupplied by another one. You will
-have the possibility to directly indicate through which warehouse it
-gets resupplied.

-
-By activating this option, a new route will now be available on your
-products \*Supply Product from Second warehouse\*. It can now be
-selected, along with either a \*reordering rule\* or a \*make to
-order\*.
-
-.. image:: virtual_warehouses/virtual_warehouses_03.png
-   :align: center
-
-For the demonstration, I set a reordering rule with a minimum of 5 units
-in stock and a maximum of 10 units in stock, having currently 0 units on
-hand. I will run the scheduler by going to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Operations -->
-Run scheduler`.
-

-
-The system automatically creates two pickings, one \*delivery order\*

+========================================================
+Transfer products between warehouses using replenishment
+========================================================
+
+For companies that use multiple warehouses, it is often necessary to transfer items between them.
+This is referred to as an *inter-warehouse transfer*. Odoo *Inventory* handles the administrative
+process of inter-warehouse transfers to ensure that inventory counts remain accurate during and
+after the transfer. This document will detail the method for conducting an inter-warehouse transfer
+using replenishment.
+
+Configure warehouses for inter-warehouse replenishment
+======================================================
+
+First, ensure the :guilabel:`Multi-Step Routes` setting is enabled by navigating to
+:menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings`, and then check the box under the
+:guilabel:`Warehouse` tab. This will provide additional configuration options when creating a second
+warehouse that are needed for inter-warehouse replenishment.
+
+By default, Odoo comes with a main warehouse already configured. If an additional warehouse has not
+already been created, do so now from the :guilabel:`Inventory` module by selecting
+:menuselection:`Configuration --> Warehouses --> Create`. Otherwise, select the warehouse that
+products will be transferred to from the :guilabel:`Warehouses` page and then click :guilabel:`Edit`
+to change its settings. Configure the warehouse as follows:
+
+- :guilabel:`Warehouse`: choose a name that is not already being used for another warehouse (e.g.
+  `Alternative Warehouse`)
+- :guilabel:`Short Name`: choose a short name by which the warehouse will be identified (e.g.
+  `ALT_WH`)
+
+Click :guilabel:`Save` and the new warehouse will be created. In addition, a new :guilabel:`Resupply
+From` field will appear on the warehouse's form. Click :guilabel:`Edit` and then check the box next
+to the warehouse that will be used to resupply the warehouse that is currently being configured.
+
+.. image:: warehouse_replenishment_transfer/new-warehouse-configuration.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: A warehouse settings form configured to allow resupplying between warehouses.
+
+.. note::
+   For the purposes of this demonstration, the warehouse that products are transferred from
+   (outgoing) will be titled "San Francisco", and the warehouse that products are transferred to
+   (incoming) will be titled "San Francisco 2".
+
+Configure products for inter-warehouse replenishment
+====================================================
+
+Products must also be configured properly in order for them to be transferred between warehouses.
+Navigate to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Products --> Products` and select an existing product or
+:guilabel:`Create` a new one, if necessary.
+
+Then, on the product form, go to the :guilabel:`Inventory` tab and enable the checkbox for
+:guilabel:`X: Supply Product from Y`, with *X* being the warehouse receiving the transferred
+products and *Y* being the warehouse that products are transferred from.
+
+.. image:: warehouse_replenishment_transfer/product-transfer-configuration.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: Enable the checkbox to resupply one warehouse from another.
+
+Replenish one warehouse from another
+====================================
+
+Starting in the :menuselection:`Inventory` module, select :menuselection:`Products --> Products` and
+then choose the product that will be replenished. Click the :guilabel:`Replenish` button on the top
+left of the product page and fill out the pop-up form as follows:
+
+- :guilabel:`Quantity`: the number of units that will be sent to the warehouse being replenished
+- :guilabel:`Scheduled Date`: the date that the replenishment is scheduled to take place
+- :guilabel:`Warehouse`: the warehouse that will be replenished
+- :guilabel:`Preferred Routes`: select `X: Supply Product from Y`, with *X* being the warehouse to
+  be replenished and *Y* being the warehouse that the product will be transferred from
+
+.. image:: warehouse_replenishment_transfer/product-replenishment-form.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The form for replenishing a product.
+
+Click :guilabel:`Confirm` and a delivery order will be created for the outgoing warehouse along with
+a receipt for the warehouse that will receive the product. Depending on the configuration settings
+for the outgoing and incoming warehouses, processing delivery orders and receipts will require
+between one and three steps. This document will detail how to process one-step deliveries and
+receipts.
+
+Process the delivery order
+--------------------------
+
+The first stage of a replenishment order is processing the delivery from the warehouse that the
+product is being transferred from. On the :menuselection:`Inventory` dashboard, select the
+:guilabel:`X to Process` button on the :guilabel:`Delivery Orders` card for the outgoing warehouse,
+then the delivery order created for the replenishment. On the delivery order page, click the
+:guilabel:`Check Availability` button in the top left to reserve the quantity of the product to be
+transferred. Once the delivery has been dispatched, click the :guilabel:`Validate` button to
+register the quantities shipped.
+
+.. image:: warehouse_replenishment_transfer/delivery-orders-card.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The delivery orders card for the outgoing warehouse.
+
+Process the receipt
+-------------------
+
+Once the goods arrive at the incoming warehouse, the receipt created for that warehouse must be
+processed as well. Return to the :menuselection:`Inventory` dashboard and select the :guilabel:`X to
+Process` button on the :guilabel:`Receipts` card for the incoming warehouse, then the receipt
+created for the replenishment. On the receipt page, click the :guilabel:`Validate` button in the top
+left of the page to register the quantities received.
+
+.. image:: warehouse_replenishment_transfer/receipts-card.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The delivery orders card for the outgoing warehouse.
+
+After processing the receipt, the products transferred will now appear in the inventory of the
+incoming warehouse. The stock numbers for both warehouses can be viewed by returning to the product
+page and selecting the :guilabel:`X Units On Hand` button at the top of the screen.
+
+Automate inter-warehouse replenishment
+======================================
+
+Using reordering rules, it is possible to automate the process of replenishing one warehouse from
+another.
+
+To get started, navigate to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Products --> Products`, and then
+choose the product that will be replenished. From the product page, select the :guilabel:`Reordering
+Rules` smart button at the top of the form, and then on the next page, click :guilabel:`Create` to
+configure the form as follows:
+
+- :guilabel:`Location`: the location that the reordering rule will replenish when triggered, in this
+  case, the incoming warehouse
+- :guilabel:`Min Quantity`: when the quantity on hand at the incoming warehouse falls below this
+  number, the reordering rule will be triggered
+- :guilabel:`Max Quantity`: when the reordering rule is triggered, the product will be replenished
+  at the incoming warehouse up to this quantity
+- :guilabel:`Multiple Quantity`: specify if the product should be replenished in batches of a
+  certain quantity; for example, a product could be replenished in batches of 20
+- :guilabel:`UoM`: the unit of measure used for reordering the product; this value can simply be
+  `Units`, or a specific unit of measurement for weight, length, etc.
+
+.. image:: warehouse_replenishment_transfer/reordering-rule-configuration.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: A fully configured reordering rule.
+
+Finish by clicking :guilabel:`Save` and the reordering rule will be created. Now, when the scheduler
+runs automatically each day, a transfer will be created for each reordering rule that has been
+triggered.
+
+.. tip::
+   To manually trigger reordering rules, start from the :menuselection:`Inventory` module and select
+   :menuselection:`Operation --> Run Scheduler`, then click the green :guilabel:`Run Scheduler`
+   button in the pop-up that appears.
+
+After the scheduler runs, a delivery order and receipt will be created for the outgoing and incoming
+warehouses, respectively. Both the delivery order and receipt should be processed using the same
+method as detailed above.

-=========================
-Inter-warehouse transfers
-=========================
-
-When owning several warehouses, goods might need to be transferred from one warehouse to another.
-This type of transfer is called an *inter-warehouse transfer*. While physically performing the
-inter-warehouse transfer might be simple, the administrative part can be complex. Fortunately, Odoo
-comes with an intuitive flow that helps save time when registering inter-warehouse transfers.
-
-Create an internal transfer
-===========================
-
-The following paragraphs detail a sample inter-warehouse transfer, referred to as an *internal
-transfer*, use case. The sample use case assumes that the user has already configured their second
-warehouse.
-
-To transfer eight units of a product from the first warehouse to another one, proceed as follows:
-
-From the :guilabel:`Inventory` dashboard, select an internal movement operation of one of the two
-warehouses. To do so, click on the three vertical dots icon on the top right corner of the
-operation card and select :guilabel:`Planned Transfer`.
-
-.. image:: inter_warehouse/internal-transfer-choice.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: View of the choice between planned transfer and immediate transfer.
-
-On the new planned transfer form, select the :guilabel:`Source Location` (in this case, the first
-warehouse) and the :guilabel:`Destination Location` (in this case, the second warehouse).
-
-Next, add the products that will be transferred by clicking on :guilabel:`Add a line`, then click
-on :guilabel:`Save` and :guilabel:`Mark as ToDo` once done. After that, Odoo puts the transfer in
-the :guilabel:`Waiting` status. Then, click on :guilabel:`Reserve` to reserve the number of
-products in the source warehouse.
-
-.. image:: inter_warehouse/planned-internal-transfer.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: View of the internal transfer form.
-
-.. note::
-   If :guilabel:`Immediate Transfer` was selected instead of :guilabel:`Planned Transfer`, Odoo
-   processes the transfer automatically after the :guilabel:`Validate` button is clicked on the
-   internal transfer form.
-
-It is also possible to manually transfer each product:
-
-#. On the :guilabel:`Inventory` dashboard, open the souce location's internal transfer operation
-   page.
-
-.. image:: inter_warehouse/in-progress-internal-transfer.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: View of the dashboard with a zoom of the pending internal transfer.
-
-#. Open the desired transfer order form.
-
-.. image:: inter_warehouse/internal-transfers-list.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: View of the pending internal transfers list.
-
-#. Click on the pencil icon in the lower right corner to open the operation details window. In this
-   new window, the quantity of products can be manually set.
-
-.. image:: inter_warehouse/backorder.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: View of a backorder pop-up window because all products are not moved at the same time.
-
-.. note::
-   To process the transfer order partially (e.g., a part of the products can't be shipped yet due
-   to an unexpected event), Odoo automatically asks if a *backorder* should be created.
-
-   - Create a backorder if it is expected that the remaining products will be processed later.
-   - Do not create a backorder if the remaining products will not be supplied/received.
