My challenge: I want to manually send products between two warehouses, following the same route as the "Resupply from warehouse Z" route that is automatically generated by Odoo. 


I have Warehouses A, B and C. (I have many more, but for simplicity, consider the three). Warehouse A is main warehouse, and Warehouse B and C are satellites. 

WH B and C are both set up with Receive and Deliver in 1 step, and are set up to NOT buy, but resupply from Warehouse A. Standard configuration so far. 

WH A is set up to buy to resupply, and have 2-step receipt and 2-step delivery.


The routes that are automatically configured for WH B and C to resupply from A works just fine when a reordering rule is triggered. It generates a Pull from Inter-warehouse transfer location, that Pull from WHA/Output, which generates a Pick operation from WHA/Stock. 


However, now I want to send a product X from WH A to WH B without a reordering rule triggered. How can I generate the demand, that will trigger that "Resupply from WH A" route - or something similar?


All guides I can find either show inter-warehouse transfer as an "internal transfer" between two warehouses, or how to set this up for automatic reordering rules. This does not work for me for three reasons: I want the inter-warehouse transfer to follow the same Two-step shipping as Sales orders, and I want the transfer to ship to an intermediary (the Interwarehouse transfer location), before it arrives at WH B. I want to manually trigger this transfer, not only when it automatically recognize that it want to reorder.


I have tried many different setups with may different custom operation types, routes, rules transit locations and more. But I just can't figgure out how I can trigger the route.


Another smaller issue I have with the fact that I have to set up custom routes and rules is, that I do not have a Reference document that collects the different product move operations (like a Sales order show you that e.g. 3 transfers have been created: Pick, pack, ship). If you have a suggestion for how I can do this, it is also much appreciated.

This issue has been raised in several forms, as far as I can tell, and never answered successfully. Can anyone help with an answer?

We can transfer from location A to a transit location, and create a push rule that will push from the transit location to location B (Odoo will generate the picking automatically).

The drawback is the need to tell users to transfer from A to the transit location instead to B directly and when you have many warehouses, you will need many transit locations

Still can not figure out  if we entry transfer from A to B directly but Odoo doing it within 2 step, from A to a transit location, and from transit location to B automatically without custom addons

You could define a route and have it triggered through replenishment

The video below addresses a couple of business cases and details the steps to achieve them. It might help in applying and creating the routes (push/pull, triggers etc) specific to your business needs.

So I kind of have the same question but in my case warehouse A is treated as a different company that is transferring parts/inventory to warehouse B & C.  I have access to both in Odoo.  Can those parts/inventory be treated as a company A asset to company B asset transfer?  After that then could company B's asset be transferred to an expense through a work order or another process depending on the use?  I feel this way can accomplish moving the asset and then documenting what it's being used for when the expense is generated through a work order for example.  The two different companies involved are owned by the same people/umbrella if you will, just treated as two different entities that can communicate on Odoo together.  Just trying to come up with a different method of moving parts around that creates an easier process rather than creating sales orders and everything that comes with that.  Thanks

Hi,

You can use Replenishment in V14 (Inventory / Operations/ Replenishment) to trigger re-order rules. This will allow you to define by product, preferred route (as  you  define), trigger (auto/ manual) and quantities (min, max & multiples of)

Other ways to  trigger  are like you have stated in your  question would be buy, sell or manufacture

Hope this helps!

Regards
