• Odoo Tutorials: Least Packages

To understand how the removal strategy works, consider the following example, featuring a warehouse that stores packages of flour in bulk packages of 100 kg.

To minimize moisture, and/or prevent pests from entering open packages, the least packages removal strategy is used to pick from a single, opened package.

Example

A package of 100 kg of flour is depleted to 54 kg after fulfilling some orders. There are other packages of 100 kg in stock.

1. When an order for 14 kg of flour is placed, the package of 54 kg is selected.

2. When an order for more than 54 kg of flour is placed, an unopened 100 kg package is used to fulfill the order. While this temporarily results in two open packages, these open packages are prioritized in the next picking.

工作流

Using the least package removal strategy, the fewest number of packages is used to fulfill an order.

重要

The Packages feature must be enabled to use this strategy.

Consider the following example, featuring the product, Flour. The product’s Units of Measure field, located on the product form, is set to kg. The product is stored in packages of 100 kg, with one remaining package containing 54 kg. The product category’s Force Removal Strategy is set to Least Packages.

小技巧

To check the product’s on-hand stock, navigate to the product form, and click the On Hand smart button.

Create a delivery order for eighty kilograms of flour by going to the Sales app and creating a new quotation. After clicking Confirm, the delivery order is created.

On the delivery order, the Quantity field displays the amount automatically picked, according to the removal strategy.

For more details about where the units were picked, select the ⦙≣ (bulleted list) icon, located on the far-right. Doing so opens the Open: Stock move pop-up window, displaying how the reserved items were picked, according to the removal strategy.

In the Open: Stock move pop-up window, the Pick from field displays where the quantities to fulfill the Demand are picked. Since the order demanded eighty kilograms, which exceeds the quantity in the opened package of 54 kg, an unopened package of 100 kg is selected.
