My Company has two warehouses:

  1. Main Warehouse
  2. Secondary Warehouses

All purchases are received in the main warehouse and as products are needed, these are moved to the secondary warehouse. I’ve already enabled the supply-from route in the secondary warehouse, as shown in the screenshot below:


 I have a mix of products, most tracked by lot or serial number. The workflow works as expected, but I’ve noticed an odd behavior with the products tracked by lot and serial number.

When a delivery order is created in the Main Warehouse, a user picks the lot number reserved by Odoo and validates the transfer. Once the items are received in the secondary warehouse, an employee from the warehouse can’t select the existing lot number. Instead, the employee has to type it in again or copy and paste it onto the field. 

I have a couple of questions:

  1. What else can I do instead of copying and pasting? This can take my employees at the secondary warehouse too long to complete per receipt and product. 
  2. If my employees were to type in the lot number, there is a risk of human error. I could end up with the wrong lot number! How can I prevent this?

Even if you validate the receipt from an inter-warehouse transfer and a lot isn’t defined on the receipt, Odoo takes the lot delivered from the MAIN/Stock location to the transit location. Of course, I understand that sometimes people make mistakes and the lot number sent out could differ from the one received.  If there is a difference between the lot number sent and the one received (physically), you want employees to use the correct lot/serial numbers. To have more control and reduce human error, you could do either of the following (or both):

  1. Use the Barcode app and determine the mandatory scans.
  2. Use Existing Lots Instead of Creating New Ones

Use the Barcode app and determine the mandatory scans.

Scanning the lot numbers is more efficient than having to copy and paste each lot number or importing lots.  There is no need to type or copy/paste the lot if you have defined the lot number to be a mandatory scan.  Users are prompted to scan a lot/serial and cannot continue until they do so (hint: to prevent users from validating without scanning, check this forum post).


Use Existing Lots Instead of Creating New Ones

This change is helpful, especially since the secondary warehouse is only replenished from the main warehouse and items are not purchased nor received from the secondary warehouse.

All Receipt operation types ask users to create new lots. However, there is an option to change this setting. Go to Inventory > Configurations > Operation Types (need the resupply route or multi-step routes) and open the Receipts operation type. With this change, the lot/serial number field will automatically populate with the number sent with the delivery. This change works both in the Inventory and Barcode apps.

If the lot/serial number received differs from the lot delivered from the main warehouse, you can always select the correct lot from the dropdown menu or scan the correct lot number using the Barcode app. However, you will have some discrepancies in the main warehouse. Make sure to fix them to reflect the correct amounts for each lot.
