A Comprehensive Guide to Replenishment

In today's dynamic business landscape, companies with multiple warehouses often find themselves needing to efficiently transfer products between locations. Odoo Inventory, a robust management system, simplifies this process through inter-warehouse transfers, ensuring accurate inventory counts before, during, and after the transfer. This article will guide you through the steps of conducting seamless inter-warehouse transfers using the replenishment feature in Odoo.

Configuring Warehouses for Inter-Warehouse Replenishment

1. Enable Multi-Step Routes: Start by enabling the Multi-Step Routes setting in Odoo Inventory settings. This unlocks additional configuration options crucial for inter-warehouse replenishment.

2. Create Additional Warehouses: If you haven't already, create additional warehouses in the Inventory module. Ensure each warehouse has a unique name and a distinctive short name. Designate one warehouse as the supplier (resupplier) for another by configuring the Resupply From field.

Configuring Products for Inter-Warehouse Replenishment

1. Enable Supply Chain Configuration: Navigate to the Inventory module and access the Products section. Choose an existing product or create a new one. In the Inventory tab, enable the checkbox for "Supply Product from" and specify the source and destination warehouses.

Initiating Inter-Warehouse Replenishment

1. Replenish Products: In the Inventory module, select Products, then choose the product slated for replenishment. Click the Replenish button and fill out the form with details like Quantity, Scheduled Date, Warehouse, and Preferred Routes.

2. Confirm Replenishment: Click Confirm, triggering the creation of a delivery order for the outgoing warehouse and a receipt for the incoming warehouse.

Processing Delivery Orders and Receipts

1. Process Delivery Order: On the Inventory dashboard, process the delivery order for the outgoing warehouse. Check availability, dispatch the delivery, and validate the quantities shipped.

2. Process Receipt: Once the products arrive at the incoming warehouse, process the receipt by selecting it in the Inventory dashboard. Validate the quantities received to complete the transfer.

Automating Inter-Warehouse Replenishment

1. Set Up Reordering Rules: Utilize reordering rules in Odoo to automate inter-warehouse replenishment. Specify details like Location, Min Quantity, Max Quantity, Multiple Quantity, and Unit of Measure to trigger automatic transfers.

2. Save and Activate: Save the reordering rule configuration. The scheduler will run daily, creating transfers for triggered reordering rules.
