Use Cases / Context

The background context for this module is that we need to pay for something that leaves our warehouse (the supplier charges waste management fees), which is something not supported by Odoo. So we need to:

• Make a purchase order from which we can generate a supplier invoice.
• Only an inbound picking will complete the quantities delivered (received) on the purchase order.
• Reserve the correct lots from our stock automatically as in a delivery picking (this is what this module allows us to do).
• To be able to reassign/unreserve as in a normal delivery. For that reason we overwrite the domain.

Configuration

Picking operation type configuration:

• Go to Inventory -> Configuration -> Picking operation types.
• Create or edit the picking operation type you want to configure for forced stock reservation.
• Check the “Force reservation” checkbox if you want to make stock reservation mandatory for this type of picking operation.

Usage

Effects of activating “Force reservation”:

• Ensures that certain types of picking operations always reserve stock automatically.
• Makes related fields visible on picking forms to indicate if the stock reservation has been force reserved.
• Makes buttons visible on picking forms to allow cancellation and reallocation of stock reservation, providing greater flexibility in stock management.

How to use this module:

• Create purchase or sales orders as required in the relevant application ( Purchase or Sales).
• When you confirm an order, the system will make the stock reservation in the corresponding warehouse according to the reservation configuration in the associated picking operation type.
• If necessary, you can use the buttons on the picking forms to cancel or reallocate the stock reservation.
