Is there a way we can ensure that when a product is sold in a quantity that is a multiple of a product’s “product packaging” quantity – for example, sku GRRR050 has a pallet quantity of 16, and we store multiple, full (unbroken) pallets in our warehouse – that the resultant picking operation defaults to (or prioritizes) a source location with a full pallet available, even if that means skipping a location containing a lesser quantity?
Example:
- Sku GRRR050 has a pallet
quantity of 16. This is set up as a Packaging quantity on the product.
- In location A, I have (partial pallet) quantity: 1 of sku GRRR050
- In location B, I have (full pallet) quantity: 16 of sku GRRR050
- I confirm a sales order for a quantity of 16. Logically, it would make the most sense to pick the already-assembled, full pallet from location B. But instead, the picking operation instructs me to pick quantity: 1 from location A, then quantity: 15 from location B.
- And because the system is instructing order pickers to do this illogical thing, people in my warehouse are getting in the habit of ignoring where Odoo tells them to pick orders. But if Odoo was instead telling them to do something logical, like picking the full pallet since it is available, then we’d have fewer mistakes and errors that need to be corrected later.
Not sure what to do about this, and I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks!
