One-step receipt and delivery

In Odoo Inventory, both incoming and outgoing shipments are configured to process in one step, by default. This means purchases will be received directly into stock, and deliveries will be moved directly from stock to customers.

Astuce

Incoming and outgoing shipments do not need to be configured with the same amount of steps.

For example, a warehouse’s settings can be configured so products can be received directly in one step, and delivered in three steps (pick + pack + ship).

Configuration

To configure one-step receipts and deliveries for a warehouse, navigate to Inventory app ‣ Configuration ‣ Warehouses, and select a warehouse to edit.

Under the Warehouse Configuration tab, set Incoming Shipments to Receive goods directly (1 step), and set Outgoing Shipments to Deliver goods directly (1 step).

Incoming and outgoing shipments set to one-step on warehouse form.

Note

Since one-step receipt and delivery is the default for incoming and outgoing shipments in Odoo, the Multi-Step Routes feature is not required.

However, for the Shipments settings to appear on a warehouse form, the feature must be enabled.

To enable Multi-Step Routes, navigate to Inventory app ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings. Under the Warehouse section, tick the checkbox next to Multi-Step Routes, and click Save. Doing so also activates the Storage Locations feature.
