Use Routes
|
||
==========
|
||
|
||
A route is a collection of :doc:`push and pull rules <pull_push_rules>`. In Odoo, you can manage
|
||
advanced push/pull routes configurations, like:
|
||
|
||
- Manage product manufacturing chains;
|
||
- Manage default locations per product;
|
||
- Define routes within your warehouse according to the business needs, such as quality control, after-sales services or supplier returns;
|
||
- Help rental management, by generating automated returning moves for rented products.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
- You can find documentation about those subjects :doc:`../../inventory`
|
||
|
||
Configuration
|
||
=============
|
||
|
||
To configure routes, go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings` and enable
|
||
the *Multi-Step Routes* feature.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
Enabling the *Multi-Step Routes* automatically enables the *Storage Location* feature too.

Pre-Configured Routes
|
||
=====================
|
||
|
||
Of course, Odoo offers some pre-configured routes for your warehouses. To
|
||
see them, open the *Warehouses* menu, under *Configuration*.
|
||
|
||
In the *Warehouse Configuration* tab, some routes are automatically
|
||
created based on your choices for *Incoming Shipments* and *Outgoing
|
||
Shipments*.

||

|
||
|
||
Custom Routes
|
||
=============
|
||
|
||
In the *Inventory* application, open :menuselection:`Configuration --> Routes`. Then,
|
||
you have to select the places where this route can be selected. You can
|
||
combine several choices if needed.
|
||
|
||
Routes applied on warehouses
|
||
----------------------------
|
||
|
||
If you tick *Warehouses*, you have to choose on which warehouse it
|
||
will be applied. The route will be set for all transfers in that
|
||
warehouse that would meet the conditions of the pull and push rules.

Routes applied to products
|
||
--------------------------
|
||
|
||
If you choose *Products*, you have to manually set on which product it
|
||
is applied.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: media/use_routes_04.png

||
:align: center
|
||
:alt: Applicable routes on products
|
||
|
||
To do so, open the product on which you want to apply the routes. Open
|
||
the *Inventory tab* and select the route you’ve created.
|
||
|
||

Routes applied on Product Category
|
||
----------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Then, you can also choose to apply routes to *product categories*.
|
||
Just like you did for products, you have to manually set on which
|
||
categories it must be applied.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: media/use_routes_06.png

|
||
|
||
To do so, open the product category you want to apply the route to.
|
||
Then, select the route under the *Logistic* section.

Routes applied on Sales Order Lines
|
||
-----------------------------------
|
||
|
||
You can also apply routes on sales order lines. For that, tick *Sales
|
||
Order Lines* on your route form.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Next, open a sale order. You can now add the *Route* in the view. Once
|
||
done, you can choose the routes for each of your sales orders’ lines.

Pull and Push Rules
|
||
-------------------
|
||
|
||
For detailed explanations about *Pull and Push Rules*, please refer to the following
|
||
documentation: :doc:`pull_push_rules`.
|
||
|
||
Pull Configuration
|
||
------------------
|
||
|
||
When making a procurement request, you can force the route you want to
|
||
use. On the product form, click on *Replenish*. Then, choose the route you
|
||
want to use.

Replenish on Order (MTO) Route
|
||
------------------------------
|
||
|
||
If you do not work with stock, it is better to use the *Replenish on Order
|
||
(MTO)* route. Combined with the *Buy* or *Manufacturing* routes, it
|
||
automatically triggers the purchase order or manufacturing order
|
||
when your products are out-of-stock. |
