How to choose the right flow to handle receipts?
|
|
================================================
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Odoo allows you to handle receipts from your warehouse in 3 different
|
|
ways:
|
|
|
|
- **One step**: Receive goods directly in stock.
|
|
|
|
- **Two steps**: Unload in input location then go to stock.
|
|
|
|
- **Three steps**: Unload in input location, go through a quality control
|
|
before being admitted in stock.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The principles are the following:
|
|
|
|
1. **One step**: You receive the goods directly in your stock.
|
|
|
|
2. **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.
|
|
|
|
3. **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.
|
|
|
|
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.
