TaKing stock from different warehouses
|
||
======================================
|
||
|
||
When you plan to deliver a customer, you don’t know in advance if the
|
||
products will come from Warehouse A or Warehouse B. You may, in some
|
||
cases, need to take stock from different warehouses. With *Odoo*, you
|
||
can configure this by using the concept of virtual warehouses. Let us
|
||
show you how to set those virtual warehouses.
|
||
|
||
Set up virtual warehouses
|
||
=========================
|
||
|
||
Let’s say you have two warehouses: Warehouse A and Warehouse B. Create a
|
||
new warehouse, that will be a virtual one. It will allow you to take the
|
||
stock from A or B. To do so, go to your inventory app settings and
|
||
enable the multi-warehouses feature. Then, go to the warehouses menu and
|
||
click on create.

|

|
||
.. note::
|
||
The *Storage Location* feature will be automatically enabled. Good
|
||
news, because you will need it later in the process.
|
||
|
||
Now, you have to make sure that the main stock locations of warehouse A
|
||
and warehouse B are children locations of the main stock location of
|
||
warehouse A + B. Go to the locations menu, and edit the main location of
|
||
your two warehouses. Then, change their parent location to main location
|
||
of warehouse A+B.

||
Sell a product from the virtual warehouse
|
||
=========================================
|
||
|
||
Let’s say you have two products, one stored in warehouse A and one
|
||
stored in warehouse B. Now, you can create a new quotation for one of
|
||
each product. Go to other information and choose Warehouse A+B in the
|
||
shipping information.

||
Once you have done it, you can convert it to a sales order. Then, a
|
||
delivery order will be automatically generated, with a product reserved
|
||
in warehouse A and one in warehouse B.
