As you can notice, I'm pretty new here and already have a question. Can I edit workflow of my purchase module? 

I want to add extra step to control all inbound deliveries before they get to my warehouse. for example, I found 3 step delivery in inventory module, but couldn't find any difference for purchase before and after changes. Additionally, in my case it should be on purchase side. any thoughts on this?

right now it's RFQ, RFQ sent and Purchase Order.

I need:
RFQ, RFQ sent, Purchase order, Inbound delivery, Received
or maybe
RFQ, RFQ sent, Inbound delivery, Purchase order, Received

doesn't matter that much

In that case, I am not aware of any way for having this "Inbound delivery" Out of the Box. Custom modification (module) may be the solution, but maybe someone will answer with some other idea.

Hi,


In Odoo, the Purchase module manages procurement documents like RFQs, POs, and Vendor Bills, while the Inventory module handles the physical goods flow. That’s why changing receipt steps (one-step, two-step, or three-step) affects Inventory operations but not Purchase directly.

If you want an extra control step before goods enter stock, you can configure multi-step routes in Inventory (e.g., Input → Quality → Stock). This ensures deliveries from purchase orders go through inspection or control before reaching the warehouse. For tighter integration, you can add a custom PO state (like “Pending Quality Control”) that syncs with stock pickings, though this requires customization.

On Odoo Enterprise, you can also use the Quality module to enforce inspections on receipts. In short, the extra inbound step is managed through Inventory (and optionally Quality), with customizations if you want it explicitly visible in Purchase.


Hope it helps

inbound delivery, meaning interval step for: 

  • Registering the delivery in the yard
  • Adjusting the delivery quantity to the quantity posted in the goods receipt (in case of overdelivery or underdelivery.
  • Adjusting the delivery quantity and the transferred quantity
    In this case, the delivery quantity is adjusted to the quantity posted in the goods receipt. The quantity in the inbound delivery notification is also adjusted and a new inbound delivery is created.
  • Creating items
  • Deleting items


Essentially, we need our POs NOT visible in the inventory before we proceed order further to warehouse and to be PO at the same time, not RFQ.

Hello,

Let me clarify something regarding your question first:

[...] all inbound deliveries before they get to my warehouse [...]

What that means is, that when delivery is physically at your location, you want someone from purchase team to go there, to perform quality check, before delivery is unloaded, right? Or is the process different?

With the 3 step delivery, when delivery comes, you get receipt. When receipt is validated, you have to do the quality check (you'll see "1 to process" in Quality tab). The thing is, that this step is not in the purchase module, but in the Inventory module.
