Hi,


I'm planning on developing a hierarchically managed warehouse system with Odoo. Here is the real-life scenario. 


Imagine a company name "ABC" distribute goods all over the country. They have bigger warehouses in all regions (i.e. California ). Inside each region, there will be multiple retail shops in various cities (i.e. San Francisco). Warehouses will contain lots of products (i.e. Mobile, Laptop, Tablet, etc) but a retail shop may not contain all the items.  For example, a retail shop in San Francisco may only have laptops in their stock.

On top of that, there will be several users responsible for those warehouses. For example, there will be a user who will manage the retail shop in San Francisco. S/he will be able to order products from his parent warehouse located in California. Likewise, there will be a manager who will responsible for the California warehouse who will update the warehouse stocks and process purchase requests.

I am fairly new to Oddo. I have installed the inventory module and explore the Warehouse and location page but I still have a lot to process. Oddo is a great piece of software with huge modules and features. If someone could guide me on which module or which function I should use, it would have been a great help for me.


Thanks

Hey Ifty,

You are on the right path. Enable your Multi-warehouse functionality and also be sure to turn on "Multi-step Routes".


From here when you go to your warehouse configuration you can specify which main warehouse will be resupplying your smaller warehouses/locations.

I have two warehouses created, one main warehouse and a smaller one (perhaps a store):



The main warehouse is resupplied via purchasing and/or manufacturing (Assuming you have Purchase and/or Manufacturing installed):



The smaller warehouse will be resupplied from the larger one:


Then you need to decide when you want to resupply. You can use our new replenishment menu item to set and trigger automated re-order rules or you can manually decide when you want to resupply each location and how.

If you want to automate the re-order rules you will set the replenishment route on the product:


and set up the re-order rule (This also assumes you have set your products to be "Storable" type):


When the scheduler is ran Odoo will see that your Small Warehouse (SWH) is low and trigger a delivery from the main warehouse (WH) and a receipt into the small warehouse (SWH).

Here is the replenishment screen where you can decide when and how to replenish each location:


As you can see you have a lot of flexibility in terms of when, how much, and from where you replenish your national warehouse network.

Hope this helps!
