-What is a procurement rule?
-===========================
-
-Overview
-========
-
-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.
-
-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.

+===========================
+What are Pull & Push Rules?
+===========================
+
+In inventory management, the supply chain strategy determines when
+products should be fabricated, delivered to distribution centers and
+made available in the retail channel.
+
+Under a pull supply chain, actual customer demand drives the process,
+while push strategies are driven by long-term projections.
+
+Pull Inventory Control System
+=============================
+
+The *procurement inventory control system* begins with a customer's
+order. With this strategy, companies only produce enough to fulfill their
+customer's orders. One advantage is that there are no
+extra goods that need to be stored, thus reducing inventory levels
+and the cost of carrying and storing. 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.
+
+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 to meet customer's demand. The :abbr:`MTO (Make-to-order)` system
+eliminates waste by reducing the amount of storage space needed for
+inventory and the costs of storing goods.
+
+Push Inventory Control System
+=============================
+
+The *push system of inventory control* involves forecasting inventory
+needs to meet customer's 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, but it also increases the company's costs for storing
+these goods if the minimum stock isn’t well defined. An advantage of 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.
+  
+A push flow indicates how locations are chained with 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 specifications (destination location, delay, type of move).
+It can be triggered automatically or manually.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Pull and push rules are part of the routes. Go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration -->
+Settings` and tick *Multi-Step Routes*.
+

+   :alt: Enabling multi-step routes to use pull and push rules
+
+.. Note::
+   Storage Locations are automatically activated at the same time as
+   Multi-Step Routes.
+
+Rules settings
+==============
+
+The rules are defined on the routes. In the inventory application, go to
+:menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Routes`. In the *Rules* section, click on *Add a line*.
+
+.. image:: media/pull_push_rules_02.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: Add a line on Odoo routes to use Pull & Push rules
+
+Here you can set the action to be triggered by the rule. Choose from:
+
+- **Pull From**: this rule will be triggered by a need for the product in a specific stock
+  location. The need can come from a sale order which has been validated or for a manufacturing order
+  which requires a specific component. When the need appears in the source location, Odoo generates a
+  picking to fulfill this need thanks to the pull rule.
+- **Push To**: this rule will be triggered by the arrival of some products in the defined source
+  location. In case you move products to the source location, Odoo generates a picking to move those
+  products to the destination location.
+- **Push & Pull**: it allows to generate a picking in the two different situations explained above,
+  when products are required in a specific source location as well as when they are pushed to a
+  specific source location.
+- **Buy**: when products are needed the source location, a request for quotation is created to
+  fulfill the need.
+- **Manufacture**: when products are needed in the source location, a manufacturing order is
+  created to fulfill the need.
+- Many translated example sentences containing
+
+.. image:: media/pull_push_rules_03.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: Creating rules inside of Routes
+
+The *Operation Type* allows you to define which kind of picking will
+be created from this rule, in the example, I would like to create an
+internal transfer.
+The *Supply Method* allows you to define what happens at the source
+location:
+
+- **Take From Stock**: the products will be taken from the available stock of the source location.
+- **Trigger Another Rule**: the system will try to find a stock rule to bring the products in the
+  source location. The available stock will be ignored.
+- **Take From Stock, if Unavailable, Trigger Another Rule**: the products will be taken from the
+  available stock of the source location. If there is no stock available, the system will try to find
+  a rule to bring the products in the source location.
+
+In the *Scheduling* section, you can determine how will Odoo behave
+when one of the pickings of the chain is rescheduled. In case you decide
+to Propagate Rescheduling, the next move will also be rescheduled. In
+case you prefer to have the choice to manually reschedule the next move
+or not, you can decide to receive an alert about it under the form of
+the next activity.

+A First In First Out strategy implies that the products that were
+stocked first are moved out first. Companies should use the FIFO method

+In your stock location (WH/Stock), there are 3 lots of Hand Cream
+available.
 
-In your warehouse stock (``WH/Stock``) location, there are ``3`` lots of ``iPod
-32 Gb`` available.

-Create one sales order ``25`` unit of ``iPod 32 GB`` and confirm it.
+Create a sales order for 25 units of Hand Cream and validate it. If you
+go on the delivery order linked to the picking, you can see that the
+oldest lot numbers have been automatically reserved thanks to the FIFO
+removal strategy.

 LIFO (Last In First Out)

-have a shelf life.
+In LIFO, the products which are brought the last move out the first.

 FEFO (First Expiry First Out)
---------------------------------
+-----------------------------
 
 In FEFO warehouse management, the products are dispatched from the
 warehouse according to their expiration date.
 
-Go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Setting`. 
-Check the option **Define Expiration date on serial numbers**. 
-Then click on **Apply** to save changes.
+In case you want more information about Expiration Dates, please have a

+Numbers`.

+Lots are picked based on their removal date, from earliest to
+latest. Lots without a removal date defined are picked after lots
+with removal dates.

+All dates except *removal dates* 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.
 
--   **Best Before Date**: This is the date on which the goods with this
-    serial/lot number start deteriorating, without being dangerous yet.
-
--   **End of Life Date:** This is the date on which the goods with this
-    serial/lot number may become dangerous and must not be consumed.
-
--   **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.
-
--   **Alert Date:** This is the date on which an alert should be sent
-    about the goods with this serial/lot number.
-
-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.
-
-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**.
-
-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.
-
-Each of these time increment fields is used to generate one of the lot expiration date fields as follows:
-
-Product Use Time --> Best Before Date
-
-Product Removal Time --> Removal Date
-
-Product Life Time --> End of Life Date
-
-Product Alert Time --> Alert Date
-
-To set the removal strategy on location, go to 
-:menuselection:`Configuration --> Locations` and choose FEFO.

-Let's take an example, there are ``3`` lots of ``ice cream`` available in
-``WH/Stock`` location: ``LOT0001``, ``LOT0002``, ``LOT0003`` with 
-different expiration date.
+To set the removal strategy on location, go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration -->
+Locations`, open WH/Stock and choose FEFO.

-We will create a sale order with ``15kg`` of ``ice cream`` and confirm it.
+When we sell for 25 units of Hand Cream, we can see that the
+lot numbers which have been automatically reserved by Odoo are the ones
+with the closest expiration date, meaning 0000001 and 0000003.
 
-The outgoing shipment related to sale order will make the move based on
-removal strategy **FEFO**.
-
-It will take ``10kg`` from ``LOT0002`` and ``5kg`` from ``LOT0003`` based on the
-removal dates.
