How to process delivery orders in three steps (pick + pack + ship)?
|
||||
===================================================================
|

===================================================================
|

|
||||
Overview
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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``.
|
||||
|
||||
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**.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Check out :doc:`inventory_flow` to determine if this inventory flow is
|
||||
the correct method for your needs.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
Install the Inventory module
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
From the **App** menu, search and install the **Inventory** module.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
You will also need to install the **Sales** module to be able to issue sales
|
||||
orders.
|
||||
|
||||
Allow managing routes
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
To allow management of routes, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Configure the warehouse for Pick + Pack + Ship
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Warehouses` and edit the warehouse that will be
|
||||
used.
|
||||
|
||||
For outgoing shippings, set the option to **Make packages into a
|
||||
dedicated location, bring them to the output location for shipping (Pick
|
||||
+ Pack + Ship).**
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Create a Sale Order
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
From the **Sale** module, create a sales order with some products to deliver.
|
||||
|
||||
Notice that we now see ``3`` transfers associated with this sales order
|
||||
in the **stat button** above the sales order.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
If you click the button, you should now see three different pickings:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The first with a reference **PICK** to designate the picking process,
|
||||
|
||||
2. The second one with the reference **PACK** that is the packing process,
|
||||
|
||||
3. The last with a reference **OUT** to designate the shipping process.

**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
|

How to Process the Shipping Step?
|

---------------------------------
|

|

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).
|

|
